OWINGS MILLS, Md. – The Widener University baseball team scored five runs in the final two innings, but the Pride fell to the Stevenson Mustangs 17-6 in a MAC Commonwealth matchup on Friday afternoon.
 
BY THE NUMBERS

• Brennan Taylor, Glenn Seymour, Chandler Liero, and Ryan Bennett each had a hit for Widener. Bennett also drove in a run and scored once.
• Kyle Buchman walked three times and scored three runs.
• The duo of Noel Franczyk and Bryson Turner authored scoreless relief for the final 2.2 innings, striking out four.

 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Stevenson broke the game open early, scoring seven times in the second.
• Trailing in the sixth, Widener got on the board with a run as Buchman walked, stole second and then swiped third. The throw to third was errant, allowing him to come to the plate.
• The Pride manufactured some runs in the eighth as Liero doubled to lead off the inning followed by a walk to Buchman. The pair executed a double steal before a groundout brought home a run and moved Buchman to third. Ricky Collings came up next and bounced a ball to third that was bobbled, scoring Buchman and putting Collings on first. After a steal of second, Taylor came up and smacked a single back through the middle to plate Collings.
• WU posted two more runs in the ninth as with two out, Buchman walked, Bennett singled, and Collings reached on an error to load the bases. A second error in the frame allowed Buchman to score and a passed ball subsequently brought home Bennet to cement the final tally.
