No. 13 Mount Olive Baseball Takes Down No. 20 Catawba In Midweek Battle

SALISBURY, N.C. - The No. 13 University of Mount Olive baseball team took down in-region rival No. 20 ranked Catawba College 4-3 in non-conference action Tuesday afternoon in Salisbury, N.C. UMO goes to 3-2 overall, while Catawba dropped to 4-4.

GAME INFORMATION
The Trojans began the road contest with a bang as Jack Casbarro lifted a solo home run in the top of the first to put UMO up first. Catawba answered in the bottom half tying the game at one.

Casbarro was just heating up as his second at bat was a replication of the first with another solo home run, as Mount Olive regained the lead 2-1. 

The scoring remained quite over the next three innings until UMO pushed some more momentum across. Two RBI-doubles by Gordon Pihl and Joshua Jones placed the Trojans with a 4-1 lead.

The Indians only had one shot to push home runs across in the seventh and they did so only scoring two more runs. The UMO pitching staff halted Catwaba to only one hit for the remainder of the game and took home the 4-3 win.

TROJAN LEADERS
Jack Casbarro led the team with three RBI off two home runs and a triple.  Joseph Barberio (1-1) recorded the win as he went five complete allowing one run, off five hits and struck out five. Hunter Stevens came in for the save, his first, throwing the final inning and a third, not allowing a hit.

CATAWBA LEADERS 
Painter had the only RBI to lead the Indians.

KEY STAT
Mount Olive was outhit Catawba in extra base hits 5-to-3.

COACH'S COMMENTS
"It has been a long time since we have won at their place. Catawba is a program so well coached that they will not beat themselves, the always capitalize on your mistakes and apply pressure for 9 innings. Jack Casbarro had an outstanding game, we pitched it extremely well and had some timely hits in big moments. Every single player that had a chance to contribute did something to help us win tonight, it was a good team win," said Head Coach Rob Watt.
