Wednesday, May 18: St. Andrew’s 5 - Tatnall 2
Tatnall traveled to Middletown on Wednesday for the back end of the home-and-home series with St. Andrew’s. Tre Marcoz toed the rubber for the Hornets and went the distance with 4 strikeouts and solid defense behind him. Unfortunately, St. Andrew’s jumped out to a quick lead that they never relinquished. The Hornets threatened in nearly every inning, but were not able to convert. Michael McGinley ‘24 paced the offense with 2 hits, 2 walks, 2 runs scored and 3 stolen bases. Additionally, the pride of Bray, Ireland, Jack Golden, made his first start for the Hornets in right field and in his second plate appearance, dropped down a sacrifice bunt to move 2 runners into scoring position.
