Early offense, late pitching get first win at Montreat

Box Score

MARION, N.C. — Colby Malson went 4-for-5 at the plate and Kade Gorman and Colton Daniel combined for 5 innings of relief work as the Goshen College baseball team topped Montreat College 7-6 Saturday at the Big League Camp complex in North Carolina.

The Maple Leafs (1-2) took the lead three batters into the game on a Clinton Stroble II double and never gave it up. All nine Goshen batters came to the plate in the first inning, with all nine either reaching base or advancing runners, and the guests led 4-0 before sending Baylee Young to the mound.

Goshen added two more insurance runs in the top of the second; Montreat, which had scored two of its own in the first, added a pair in the second to make it 6-4 after two frames.

Neither team scored again until the eighth, when Mitchell Wilson drew a bases-loaded walk to put Goshen up 7-4. Montreat scored twice in the bottom of the inning after a Maple Leaf error, but Daniel struck out Alex Soto to strand the tying run on third base.

Gorman picked up the win after relieving Young in the fifth inning; Daniel, who came on with go-ahead run Fenway Parks at the plate in the seventh, got his second career save.

Complete statistics were not yet available at the time of publication. More to come when available.

The Maple Leafs and Cavaliers will play three more times this weekend, although weather conditions and field availability forced an adjustment to the schedule. The teams were originally slated to play twice Saturday and once on Sunday; they played once Saturday and will now square off in a doubleheader at 6 p.m. Sunday.

In addition, the Maple Leafs' game at Southern Wesleyan University, scheduled for Monday, has been postponed to let SWU make up a conference contest. GC has instead added a fourth game with Montreat at 6 p.m. Monday afternoon.
