WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army West Point baseball dropped Tuesday's game to the Marist Red Foxes at Doubleday Field, 5-4, after allowing three runs in the top of the ninth.

The Black Knights move to 22-17 with the loss, ahead of its second-to-last league series and final home set this weekend.

Army opened the scoring in the bottom of the third, when Josiah Overbeek bolted home on a wild pitch.

While the Red Foxes tied the game in the top of the fourth with a solo home run, the Black Knights prevented the visitors from going ahead later in the frame, when relief pitcher Max Donecea recovered from a wild pitch by racing to the plate and making the tag for the third out.

After Parker gave Army the lead once more in the fifth with a sacrifice fly for Overbeek's second run of the game, Donecea once more kept Marist off the board in the sixth, escaping a bases loaded, one out jam with a strikeout and induced lineout to strand all three runners.

The parade of sacrifice RBIs continued in the sixth, with Paul Andrzejewski collecting a sacrifice fly and Chris Barr scoring Jake Pineda on a squeeze bunt to make it 4-1.

Marist threatened in the eighth, loading the bases with nobody out to put the go-ahead run at the plate. Anthony Ramirez then entered to pitch, with just one run scoring in the frame on a sacrifice fly before the visitors took the lead an inning later.

Donecea had been in line for the win, striking out two batters over 2.1 innings. The Northport, N.Y. native took over for starting pitcher Walker Calvo, who too picked up a pair of strikeouts over 3.2 frames. Ian Standlee also pitched an inning in relief before handing the ball to Ramirez.

By the Numbers

2: Overbeek and Hewitt each drew a pair of walks.

2-for-3: Overbeek went 2-for-3 at the plate.

2-for-4: Mason Scott was 2-for-4 on Tuesday.

Black Knight Notes

Before the game, head coach Chris Tracz received a recognition on being named to the Marist Hall of Fame inaugural class. Tracz played at Marist from 2001-05 and served as head coach from 2010-22 before coming west of the Hudson to Army.

Barr's squeeze play in the sixth was his second and the team's fourth successful squeeze of the season.

Overbeek reached base for the 37th consecutive game to open his career.

The 4:05 p.m. start time Tuesday was the latest a game has started at Doubleday Field this year.
