LEAVENWORTH, Kan – The University of Saint Mary baseball team took on York College Tuesday afternoon in a doubleheader, which had been rescheduled from Feb. 23 due to inclement weather. The Spires were able to grab one of two from the Panthers winning 3-1 and falling 7-3.

The Spires are now 8-16 overall and 6-10 in the KCAC.

The Spires and Panthers each scored three runs in the first inning of game one. Daunte Freeman hit a big double down the left field line to bring around Matt Ladd and would later score on an error from York. Later in the inning, Oscar Osorio singled to right-center field – scoring Antonio Valentin.

Saint Mary would fall behind 5-3 in the second inning and was held in check the rest of the game as York tacked on two more runs.

Freeman, Ladd and Peyton Garvin each had two hits in the game, while Daulton East took the loss on the mound.

In game two, the Spires defense was able to hold York in check most of the way. Both teams were tied at one after two innings as Daniel Gonzales scored on an error by the Panthers. Saint Mary would add two run in a long fourth inning with Osorio leading off with a single. Alex Guevara-Moya singled to right field to score Osorio, while Bryan Fuentes scored on a single from Garvin.

The Spires would go unscathed the rest of the way, including getting out of a jam in the fifth to seal the win.

Guevara-Moya led the team with three hits and Garvin notched his second win of the season on the mound, allowing just one run on six hits.
