Ninth Inning Magic Propels JCU To Win Over Trine

Michael Pollard hit a walkout to win it for the Blue Streaks

AUBURNDALE, FL. – The John Carroll baseball team was shutout for eight innings against a strong pitching effort, but in the ninth inning JCU scored four runs including a walk-off single by Michael Pollard.

Kiayuan Baskerville started strong and kept JCU in the game by throwing 4.1 innings and only allowing two runs.

On the other side, Will Gimbel of Trine was strong on the mound throwing eight shutout innings allowing three hits.

Trine jumped out to a lead in the third inning with a sacrifice fly. In the fifth, the Thunder used small ball and had a successful bunt to take a 2-0 advantage.

The Thunder added a run of insurance in the ninth with another sacrifice.

In the bottom of the ninth, is when the magic started and it was when Jake Monaco stepped into the box and worked a walk on a 3-2 count.

Following a wild pitch, Konner Hauck singled up the middle to knock Monaco in. George Haracz stepped into the batter's box and was down in the count 1-2 but found a way to single through the left side.

Ethan Glossa reached on an error by the shortstop and loaded up the bases with zero outs putting the pressure on Trine.

After a swinging strike out, Dominic Trivisonno drew a four-pitch walk to make it a one run game with the winning run on second.

Trine was able to record another strikeout and was one out away from closing the game.

With the bases loaded, Pollard faced a 2-2 count and singled to right center and walked-it-off for the Blue and Gold.

JCU will wrap up spring break taking on Keystone College with first pitch scheduled for 9 a.m.
