Sometimes, one play can define an entire game.
This would turn out to be the case in the Georgetown Cup quarterfinals, as the No. 3 St. Mary’s Lancers defeated No. 6 Nichols 7-1 on Monday at St. Mary’s High School.
After the Lancers took a 1-0 lead in the first inning thanks to a hit-by-pitch with the bases loaded, a scoreless second saw their advantage stay at one run heading into the third.
It was there that Nichols began to threaten, as they found themselves in a bases loaded situation with just one out, and a chance to not only tie the game, but to take a substantial lead.
That changed in the blink of an eye.
A line shot off the bat of junior Cameron Ricotta flew straight into the glove of Lancers’ sophomore pitcher Trent Rumley, who immediately flipped the ball to third base in time to pick off the runner. A potentially multi-run saving double play, and St. Mary’s was out of a major jam.
“I told them after the double play that this was where we can get the bats going, and they delivered,” said St. Mary’s coach Michael Wagner.”
High off the momentum of such an electric play, just as their coach had hoped, the Lancer bats caught fire.
RBI singles from Chris Nieno and Brady O’Brien as well as a sacrifice fly from Tyshawn Johnson all contributed to a four run third inning which extended the lead to 5-0 and gave St. Mary’s just the cushioning they needed.
From there, Rumley and senior Cole Murray combined for nine strikeouts and allowed one Viking run to shut down any hope of a comeback.
An RBI double from Johnson (2 for 3, two RBIs) in the fifth inning added more insurance.
“Everybody just came together [in the third] and we just played sound baseball,” said Johnson. “We did the small things right, we did the big things right, and that’s how you win games.”
While the score may indicate a lopsided affair, Nichols threatened multiple times while at bat.
After the third inning fiasco, in the fourth a walk with the bases loaded scored the only Nichols run of the ballgame. However, after getting on the board, they would go on to once again strand three runners.
“We just needed timely hits, and we just couldn’t get them. Sometimes you just got to tip your cap,” said Vikings coach Brian Brazee. “I always feel like when we have the guys up, we should come through a little bit more. It didn’t happen for us today, but that’s baseball.”
Next up for the Lancers is a best-of-three showdown with the No. 2 seeded Canisius Crusaders. The two sides split their two regular season matchups.
“Canisius is Canisius, they’re a tough team to play,” said Wagner. “But I like our lineup. I think that we can give them a battle.”
Game one of the semifinals kicks off at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday at Delaware Park.
