McKenzie Grand Slam Caps Game Two Rally at Defending CACC Champion Post

WATERBURY, Conn. – The HFU baseball team overcame 0-2 and 2-3 deficits for an 8-3 game two triumph at defending Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) champion Post on Wednesday afternoon. 
 
Trailing 2-3 entering the sixth inning of the seven-frame nightcap, Marc Garcia (Coatesville, Pa./Coatesville Area Senior (Keystone College)) led off with a hit-by-pitch and after the first out, a Christian Mote (Branchburg, N.J./Gill St. Bernard's School (Iona University)) single and Andy Rivera (Silver Spring, Md./Woodrow Wilson (Montgomery College)) walk loaded the bases. 
 
A Jalen David (Bronx, N.Y./St. Raymond) hit-by-pitch brought home the tying run, before Stefan Leo's (Golden, Colo./Golden Senior (Porterville CC)) sacrifice fly drove in the winning one.
 
The Tigers then tacked on four more in the seventh on Torin McKenzie's (Hamilton, N.J./Nottingham (Mercer County CC)) grand slam, which followed a Brian Comer (Charlotte, N.C./Independence (Bucks County CC)) leadoff walk, Luke Shahin (Ajax, Ontario/Archbishop Denis O'Connor(Augusta University)) single and Garcia sacrifice bunt.
 
Individual Highlights
  • Casey Murphy (Merion Station, Pa./Lower Merion (Ursinus College)) earned the complete game win, with only two of his runs earned
    • He struck out three to surpass 200 for his collegiate career
  • Comer reached multiple times in both games, finishing the doubleheader 4-for-7 with five runs, two walks, two stolen bases and an RBI
  • McKenzie and Mote both had two hits and a run in game two, while Rivera was 2-for-3 with a base on balls
  • Shahin went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs and an RBI in the opener, while Garcia drove in a season-high four, finishing 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and a run
 
How it Happened
Game One
  • Hayden Ford (Harrison City, Pa./Penn-Trafford (Frostburg State University)) faced the minimum through four, and singles from Jephson Hadson-Taylor (Cheltenham, Pa./La Salle College (University of Maine)), Comer and Garcia led to a three-run third
  • Holy Family then made it 5-0 in the fifth on a Comer leadoff single and back-to-back doubles by Shahin and Garcia
  • Post sent 10 to the plate in a five-run bottom-half though, before adding three more in the sixth
  • The Tigers got as close as 7-8 in the seventh, as Comer again led off with a single prior to back-to-back one-out RBI doubles by Shahin and McKenzie, but the latter was stranded and the Eagles countered with two of their own in the bottom-half
Game Two
  • It was Post getting on the board first with a two-run first
  • After stranding two in the second, Hadson-Taylor and Comer led off the third with a triple and single, respectively, before Garcia tied the score at 2-2 on a sacrifice fly
  • An error allowed an unearned run to cross and make it 2-3 in the bottom of the fourth
