Mount St. Mary's baseball team secured a decisive 15‑4 win over Niagara in the final game of their MAAC series, wrapping up the regular season with a commanding performance that showcased both offensive firepower and solid pitching.
Record‑Setting Stolen Base Milestone
Alex Mendes stole two bases in the contest, bringing his season total to 37 and matching the program’s single‑season record set by Myles Nicholson in 2019. The achievement underscored Mendes’ impact on the team’s historic finish.
The offensive onslaught was led by Cameron Biller, who went 3‑for‑4 with four RBIs, a home run and two runs scored, while Evan Meier added three RBIs highlighted by a solo homer. Ty Fredo contributed a 2‑for‑3 effort that included an RBI, three runs scored and three walks, and Carson Clark, Christian Bauman, Ryan McKay and Mike Toth provided steady support throughout the lineup.
Dominant Pitching Performance
Serigne Sarre turned in seven strong innings on the mound, striking out eight batters and earning his fourth win of the year. In relief, Maximus McCrary and JB Manarchuck combined for two shutout innings and two strikeouts, preserving the lead and allowing the offense to pull away.
The Mountaineers are slated to meet Niagara again on May 14, a rematch that promises another chance for the team to build on its recent momentum and finish the season on a high note.
