Box Score

The Muhlenberg baseball team came back from a two-run deficit late in the game to force extra innings, but Arcadia plated a run in the bottom of the 11th to walk off with a 5-4 win.

The Mules trailed 3-1 and had just one hit through seven innings before mounting their comeback. In the top of the eighth, they loaded the bases with nobody out on a single by freshman Matt Glubiak (his first career hit), a walk to freshman Chris Grillo and a misplayed bunt by sophomore Eric Reitmeyer.

After a pitching change, junior John Icaza drove in Glubiak with a groundout and freshman Eric Riebesell singled to bring in Grillo with the tying run. A sacrifice fly by junior Thomas Yohe gave Muhlenberg its first lead at 4-3.

The Knights tied the score in the bottom of the eighth. Muhlenberg (9-11) put a runner in scoring position in the ninth, 10th and 11th and came close to grabbing a lead in the 10th, when the Arcadia left fielder reached over the fence to rob junior Robbie Hopes of a home run. 

The Knights (13-8-1) scored the winning run on a squeeze bunt.

Riebesell (pictured above) had two of the Mules' four hits. Freshman Jon Capra hit an RBI single in the fifth. Sophomore Sam Kasten allowed only two hits and struck out four in four innings of relief.
