Baseball Edged by Belhaven, 5-3

Pearl, Miss. – Dylan Fishbough recorded a triple and a home run, but the Stevens Institute of Technology baseball team fell to Belhaven on Wednesday.
 
Fishbough drove in two runs for Stevens (6-9) in the setback.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Belhaven struck first, scoring on a single to center field in the bottom of the first. The Ducks were held hitless through five innings, but pitcher Dean Qira benefited from solid defense in the bottom of the fifth, as Stevens turned a 6-4-3 double play to end the frame and keep the score at 1-0.
 
Stevens took a 2-1 lead in the top of the sixth. Evan Pravato worked a five-pitch walk, and Fishbough launched a deep shot to center field, allowing Pravato to score from first. First-year Aaron Wong followed with a sacrifice fly to center, bringing Fishbough home. The Ducks kept the pressure on with singles from Victor Schilleci and Eli Somers, but after a pitching change, a flyout and strikeout ended the inning.
 
Belhaven regained the lead in the bottom of the sixth, plating two runs on back-to-back doubles down each line to make it 3-2. The hosts extended their advantage in the seventh, scoring twice more on a bases-loaded walk and a sacrifice fly.
 
Fishbough brought the Ducks back within two in the eighth, leading off the inning with a solo home run to left—his second career homer. Stevens threatened further, as Schilleci and Somers both walked and Liam DeRubertis was hit by a pitch to load the bases. However, a strikeout and groundout ended the rally. David Finch retired the Braves in order in the eighth, giving the Ducks one last chance in the ninth. Unfortunately, all three batters were retired in succession, sealing the win for Belhaven.
 
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Fishbough's home run was the second of his career, and he matched his season high with two RBIs.
  • Sotiropoulos struck out three batters in two innings of relief, while Finch added two strikeouts.
  • Schilleci and Somers recorded the only other hits for Stevens.
UP NEXT
The Ducks return to MAC Freedom play on Friday, traveling to Wilkes-Barre, Pa., to face King's College at 3:30 p.m.
