ARNOLD, MD. – The Anne Arundel Community College baseball team split a doubleheader with Division I Hagerstown Tuesday afternoon at Skip Brown Field. In the nightcap, AACC twice came back from a three-run deficit to win, 6-5. Hagerstown won the first game, 7-2.
AACC scored three runs with two outs in the sixth to take the lead and held Hagerstown scoreless in the seventh to pick up its first win over the Hawks since 2017.
The Riverhawks took advantage of five Hawks' errors in the game, first as Donny White stole third and made to home on a throwing error in the second.
Trailing, 4-1, in the fourth with runners on first and third, Christian Murphy reached via error to plate another run and cut the deficit in half.
Hagerstown scored one more in the fifth on a pair of hits, but Ethan Grieb hit a home run down the left field line in the bottom of the inning to bring the Riverhawks within two.
Grieb, who had moved to the mound third base in the fifth, got three straight outs in the sixth to set up the Riverhawks' comeback.
With two outs, John Greenawalt drew a walk to load the bases and then all three base runners advanced on a balk to make it 5-4 in favor of Hagerstown. Grieb hit a routine ball to third base but reached and advanced to second as the third baseman overthrew the bag, seeing Greenawalt and Dyllon Barrett cross the plate to give the Riverhawks a 6-5 lead.
Grieb earned the win to move to 3-1 on the season, allowing one run on three hits while striking out four in 3.0 innings. Starter Jordan Bonhoff fanned four and walked two while allowing three runs on three hits in the first 3.1 innings. Shane Emerson pitched two-thirds of an inning in relief, striking out one and allowing one run on one hit.
In the opener, Greenawalt went 3-for-4 with an RBI triple, and Grieb drove in single runs in the fifth and seventh innings. Starting pitcher Aiden Cassilly struck out four and allowed four runs on six hits in 3.2 innings. Lefty Will D'Antoni struck out two and walked three while allowing a run on four hits in 2.1 innings of relief before seeing Nick Rees close out the game with two strikeouts, two walks, and two runs on two hits.
AACC is back in action on Friday in a non-region doubleheader against Bucks County at Skip Brown Field.
