Pios Hang on To Overcome Lumberjack Late Run

ROCKFORD, Ill. – Carroll University (9-2, 0-0 CCIW) held on to a late lead to overcome a scrappy Northland College (0-11, 0-0 UMAC) squad by the final of 4-3 on Sunday afternoon.

The Lumberjacks would take the early lead scoring single runs in the top of the third and fourth innings for the early 2-0 advantage.

In the bottom of the fourth the Pioneer offense would break-through.  Ryan Hetherington would single with one out to start the rally, Ethan Burns would follow with a walk to put runners at first and second.  Following a fly ball out to left, Matt Putman would double with two outs down the left field line to score Hetherington and Burns and knot the game at 2-2.

The Carroll offense would continue to plug away in the bottom of the fifth.  A lead off error would allow Sam Harmeyer to reach base, AJ Johnson would be hit by a pitch and Dylan Callahan would single to load the bases with no outs.  Alex Kermendy would single to score Harmeyer allowing the Pios to take their first lead of the game 3-2. Following a shallow fly ball out, Burns would draw a walk to force home Johnson to extend the lead to 4-2.

Northland would rally in the top of the eighth inning as back-to-back singles to start the inning, followed by a stolen base would put runners at second and third with no one out.  Both runners would advance on an RBI ground out, cutting the lead to 4-3 with a runner at third and one out.  A fly ball to right field would appear to tie up the game as the runner at third would apparently tag and score, however the runner left early and was called out to allow Carroll to maintain the 4-3 lead.

Northland would again threaten in the ninth inning as the lead-off batter would reach on a fielding error.  However, a 4-6-3 double play would end the rally and allow Carroll University to escape with the 4-3 win.

Max Maney (1-0) would earn the victory on the mound for the Pios.  Maney would work a scoreless 4th and 5th innings, allowing the Carroll offense to get back into the game.  Freshman Curtis Sheahan would earn his first career save with his work in the ninth inning.

Carroll University is scheduled to kick-off conference play on Wednesday as they host Carthage College at Frame Park in Waukesha.  First pitch of the double-header is scheduled for 1pm.
