Baseball Defeats Maine to Conclude Florida Weekend
February 25, 2024 | Baseball
DeLAND, Fla. – Army West Point Baseball was seeking a win Sunday to leave the Sunshine State with a winning record on the weekend and the season. The Black Knights got just that, dispatching Maine at Stetson University on Sunday morning, 8-2.
For the second game in a row, Army (4-3) never trailed, scoring in the second inning and keeping the lead for the remainder of the matchup.
Chris Barr drove in two runs while going 3-for-4 with a walk, Braden Golinski was 2-for-5 with a pair of RBIs, and Ethan Ellis also had two RBIs while hitting a home run, scoring twice and drawing a walk.
Ellis' homer gave the Black Knights a 2-0 lead in the second, before Army extended its cushion in the third with a Golinski RBI single.
After Maine scored a run in the fourth, the Black Knights answered with a trio to go ahead 6-1. Barr recorded a two-out, two-run single before Derek Berg scored on a double steal.
The Army pitchers escaped numerous jams throughout the afternoon to preserve the lead. Maine left a pair of runners on base in the sixth, and were unable to cash in an inning later despite having runners on second and third base with nobody out, thanks to a pair of Andrew Berg strikeouts in the frame.
Army put a cherry on top of its performance in the eighth, with RBIs from Golinski and William Parker.
By the Numbers
8: Army's batters drew eight walks, led by Derek Berg with two.
4.0: Starting pitcher Bryce Brownlee went 4.0 innings Sunday and struck out four batters.
2.1: Going 2.1 innings in relief, Steven Graver took the win. Andrew Berg pitched the final 2.2 innings and earned the first Black Knight save of the year.
7: Army's seven strikeouts on the mound equaled a season-best.
Black Knight Notes
Ruta has logged a hit in each game this season, and Barr has also reached base in each game.
Golinski was 7-14 across the three-game weekend, with a combined five RBI and two home runs Saturday against Stetson.
Next Up
Army heads to Sugarland, Texas next weekend for the Battle at the Ballpark. The Black Knights will open with Louisiana Tech Friday night, before battling Air Force on Saturday and Creighton on Sunday.
