HOW IT HAPPENED

• Game One
  • After a scoreless first, Edgewood (14-14, 8-6 NACC) set the tone with a four spot before in the top of the third, Jordan Skolmar, AJ Le, and Elias Lopez ripped base hits to tie things up. The Eagles matched and then-some in the bottom half with five runs increase a healthy lead back up to five, 9-4. After Skolmar and Le reached in the top of the fifth, Jack Kalitowski and Jake Franks were able to drive them both in to cut the defict to three, but the Eagles put up another massive inning to lead 13-6. 
  • MSOE (16-11, 11-3 NACC) continued to cut into the deficit in the seventh inning as Kalitowski and Lopez brought runners in to make it 13-8. The eighth is where things began to fall apart for the Eagles as the Raiders forced bases loaded before Charlie Claas raced home on a wild pitch. After Le forced a walk to load the bases once again, Kalitowski walked in another run before the Eagles hit the Raiders on the next three batters to tie the game at 13. The Eagles continued to melt as they walked Joe Stried to bring Lopez in to give the Raiders the lead as Bosque stepped in and cleared the bases on a grand slam to take a 18-13 lead. The Raiders continued to add after that as Kalitowski brought in another run to head into the bottom half leading 19-13. 
  • The Eagles didn't slouch after that, scoring three runs in the bottom half to make it 19-17. Robert Erickson added to the Raider lead in the top of ninth on a single to score Franks before Zach Brzezinski closed the game out to seal it.
• Game Two
  • The Eagles came out in game two with a vengeance, scoring eight runs in the first two innings then adding two in the eighth to build a lead that the Raiders couldn't come back from. The Raiders were held to just three hits in the ball game, committing seven errors in the field as the Eagles scored two in the first six in the second, and two in the eighth. The Raiders were held hitless in the final three innings by the Eagles to halt the Raiders win-streak.
