Mannino's Single Pushes #5 Baseball Past Buena Vista, 16-14, in 10 Innings

AUBURNDALE, FL – Marco Mannino's two-run single in the top of the 10th pushed #5 Rowan past Buena Vista, 16-14, in the RussMatt Invitational, snapping the Profs' two-game losing streak. Ryan Achey entered the game in the final inning and recorded his first career save for Rowan (5-2).
 
Tyler Cannon led off the 10th with a single and Ryan Murphy connected on a double, getting the baserunners that Mannino needed for his game-winning RBIs.  Achey issued one walk in the 10th, but was able to keep Buena Vista off the board, as he preserved the win for Christian Bascunan, who had entered the game in the eighth.
 
The Profs seemed to seal the game in the ninth inning when they scored four runs to go up 14-10. Phil Sedalis had the big hit in that inning, with a single that scored Pat Defeciani and Murphy. Chris Curcio reached base after being hit by a pitch and then Brian Gallante reached base on an error, allowing Sedalis and Curcio to score. But Buena Vista answered with four runs on a two-run double and a pair of RBI singles to send the game into extra innings.
 
Rowan took a 5-1 lead after three innings, which included an RBI double from Defeciani, a sacrifice fly from Karson Harcourt, an RBI ground out by Cannon and Schooley reaching base on an error. The Profs added two more in the fifth when Curcio singled and Cannon drew a bases-loaded walk to go up 7-1.
 
Buena Vista (8-3) mounted its comeback in the fifth and sixth innings with eight runs, including a two-run home run from Grant Oseka, to give the Beavers a 9-7 lead.

Rowan came right back to tie it in the seventh on a bases-loaded walk drawn by Cannon and an RBI single from Murphy. The Profs went up, 10-9, when Jason Morgan singled to score Sedalis.
 
Buena Vista tied it again in the eighth, 10-10, on an RBI single from Oseka, setting the stage for the final two innings.

Matt Choi made the start for Rowan and went 5.1 innings, striking out three. Sean Colbert threw 2.1 innings, followed by Maria throwing to two batters before Bascunan took over.
 
Rowan is right back at it on Monday morning, taking on Bethel at 9 a.m. at Lake Myrtle Park.
