Big Second Inning Sends Catholic Past R-MC 12-6
(Box Score)

ASHLAND, VA - Catholic University used a seven-run, second inning to help score a 12-6 victory over Randolph-Macon Wednesday afternoon in Ashland.

After scoring a run in the top-of the first, CUA strung together eight consecutive hits to chase R-MC starter Charlie Hartt from the game in the decisive second inning.

With the Cardinals up 9-0, the Jackets struck for four runs in the fifth inning. The inning was highlighted by RBI hits from J.C. Conway, Hartt and a sacrifice fly RBI from Greg Meleski.

CUA then tacked on a single run in the seventh and a pair of runs in the eighth inning to extended their lead to 12-4.

Hartt took the loss for R-MC, which is now 4-5 on the season, while Catholic is 2-2 on the year.

Randolph-Macon will return to action on Saturday when it hosts Eastern Connecticut State at 1:00 p.m.
