ASTON, Pa. (March 20, 2017) - Senior Nick Enos (Williamstown, N.J.) continued his torrid start by blasting a walk-off double to help lead the Widener University baseball team to a 4-3 comeback victory over Stevenson in the rubber match of a three-game series on Monday evening at the Maplezone Sports Institute.
 
With senior Kyle McKelvy (Collegeville, Pa.) on the bump, Stevenson took advantage of two Pride errors in the top of the second to move ahead by a 2-0 score. After Matthew Kerb reached on an infield error, Widener thought it recorded the second out of the frame when Brady Kessle hit a grounder which was routinely fielded by Enos and second base and flipped over to senior Justin Healey (Ocean City, N.J.) at first. However, catcher's interference was called on the play to allow the Mustangs to have two runners on base. Jake Dimon then singled down the line in right to plate both of his teammates.
 
Widener quickly responded and cut the lead in half in the bottom of the second when sophomore Stephen DeBellis (Marlton, N.J.) came home from third base on a botched attempt to catch classmate Brennan Taylor (Maple Shade, N.J.) in a rundown between first and second. Three innings later, senior Greg McDonough (Ambler, Pa.) then tied the score by wheeling his way home on a ball that came off the bat of Healey.
 
Stevenson (6-8, MAC Commonwealth 1-2) regained the lead in the seventh when Connor Wasil hit a sacrifice fly which was deep enough to plate Kerb, but Widener once again fought back to eventually earn another thrilling victory. Junior Mike Garofolo (Pitman, N.J.) tied the game in the eighth by reaching on a pinch-hit single to first base in which the ball barely stayed in fair territory, and Enos blasted a long double that sailed over the head of the Mustang right fielder with one out to plate senior Bob Barnett (Glenolden, Pa.) and give the Pride the series win in walk-off fashion.
 
Senior Elliott Snyder (Mountain Top, Pa.) picked up the victory for Widener by throwing a scoreless ninth and inducing three groundouts. Stevenson's Matt Phillips suffered the loss and dropped to 0-3 on the spring after surrendering five hits and two runs, which were both earned, in one and one-third innings of work.
 
Widener (8-5, MAC Commonwealth 2-1) is slated to face Swarthmore tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 p.m.
