    Box Score

    AUBURNDALE, Fla. — The Endicott baseball team bested the University of Chicago, 10-4, in Thursday afternoon's RussMatt Invitational Matchup from Lake Myrtle Park.

    WP (2-0): Brady Stuart (Hudson, Mass.) — 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
    LP (0-1): Charlie Hahn (Glencoe, Ill.) — 0.2 IP, 0 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 0 K

    The Gulls scored five runs in the bottom of the first and second innings without the benefit of a hit (five walks, four HBP's) to take control of the matchup early.

    After surrendering a pair of Maroon homers in the first two innings, Stuart settled in for a solid five innings of work, (scoreless third, fourth, and fifth innings).

    The 5-2 score remained until the bottom of the sixth rolled around, when Kyle Grabowski (Westfield, Mass.) crushed a fastball over the left field fence for a two-run bomb.

    In the top of the eighth, the Maroon scratched across a pair, which closed the Gulls' lead down to three runs (7-4). The Blue and Green responded with three more in the bottom of the eighth to cushion their lead (10-4).

    Trevor Kamuda (Groveland, Mass.) kicked off the eighth-inning rally with a leadoff walk, and later rounded the bases after three wild pitches.

    Grabowski and Adam Regan (Braintree, Mass.) both also scored in the frame after Shea LaFleur (Salem, N.H.) rolled a two-run double down the right field line and into the corner.

    With a 10-4 lead in the ninth, Matt Pappalardo (Pelham, N.H.) came on to close things out, and did so successfully via a scoreless inning of work (1 K, 1 HBP).

    BEYOND THE BOX SCORE

    • First-ever meeting between the two programs.
    • Both teams defeated No. 2 Johns Hopkins during their RussMatt campaign this week.
    • Grabowski picked up his 200th career hit. He is currently sitting on 640 career at-bats, which is one shy of the program record 641 (Harry Oringer '15).
    • The contest featured just 13 total hits (six for UChicago, seven for Endicott).
    • Regan batted leadoff and reached base in four out of his five plate appearances (HBP, HBP, single, BB). He also led the squad with four runs scored in the win.

    WHAT'S NEXT

    Endicott (6-4) takes on No. 13 Rowan tomorrow at 10 AM on Chain of Lakes Field 3. Chicago (7-8) takes on No. 12 WashU next week in a four-game weekend series.
