Senior Matthew D'Ambrosia had not just a career night, but a historic night in the Muhlenbergs 5-0 win over Lesley. The righty set both the career and single-game program record for strikeouts while tying the Centennial Conference single-game mark. D'Ambrosia entered the night six strikeouts shy of the program record of 203. It took him just 10 batters to become the Mules' new strikeout king with a pair of punchouts in each of the first two innings before retiring the side in order on swinging strikeouts in the third. He went on to strikeout at least two batters in each of the first six innings then capped the game by striking out the side in order in both the eighth and ninth innings. His 21 strikeouts on the night broke a single-game program record that had stood since 1965 and tied a CC record that has stood since 2011. The performance comes in one shy of the NCAA Division III record that has been done three times, most recently in 2003.

There are pitchers duels, slugfests, close games, and walk offs. Then there was what happened last night. MSOE sent records crashing to the ground and all but destroyed home plate as they scored a whopping 35 runs to take down the Bearcats of St. Vincent in Florida 35-6. It started off like a normal contest out on the diamond. In fact, MSOE (5-3, 0-0 NACC) started out on the losing end of things after a St. Vincent (2-4) three run first inning put the Raiders down 3-1. The Red & White quickly responded though, plating four in the top of the second, three in the third, and five in the fourth to build an already impressive 13-3 lead. After the Bearcats added two in the bottom half of the fifth, the Raiders opened the floodgates. MSOE scored an insane 12 runs in the top of the six and another 10 in the seventh to enforce the mercy rule. What was left when the dust settled was a Raiders 30 run win that broke the following records: Josh Beier tied the NACC record for most runs scored in a single contest. The Raiders broke the NACC record for most runs scored in a single contest.The Raiders broke the NACC record for most RBIs in a single contest

In Wheaton's (Mass.) first game of the RussMatt |
John Carroll had a great day to say the least. This date was circled on the calendar as a test to see how good this team can compete against a top tier team in college baseball. They passed the test defeating St. John Fisher 4-3 and 2-1, playing their brand of baseball. Freshman pitcher Jack Kartsonas got his first career start today and he didn't disappoint. Kartsonas final line was six innings pitched, three runs, two earned runs, and allowing only four hits. That didn't tell the true story of how well the freshman kept his poise against the Cardinals. John Carroll would find themselves down again against St. John Fisher but, like before, would crawl their way back into the game. Mitch Midea got the start in game two and was able to grind out 6+ innings despite not having his best command. Freshman Matt Aukerman got his first career win in relief of Midea. Aukerman came on with one on and no outs and was able to get an out and then a 4-6-3 double play to neutralize the threat and hold the Cardinals to no runs.
