STEVENSON, MD. - The Ursinus College baseball team traveled to Stevenson University on Friday for game one of a three-game series before they take off to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for spring break.  

The Bears dropped game one in extra innings by a score of 5-4 and fell to 0-2 on the season. Meanwhile, the Mustangs improve to 3-7-1 on the campaign. In what proved to be a back-and-forth type of matchup, both teams scored in the opening frame. The Bears added a run in the second and tacked on two more in the third, after a single from Dylan Crammer scored Matteo Falcone and Andrew Richter.  

With runners on first and second and only one out, Stevenson's Malcolm Edelin was able to work out of the jam and the Bears led 4-1. The Mustangs answered with two unearned runs in the bottom half of the inning and trailed 4-3 after three innings. Ursinus was unable to capitalize in the fourth after two runners were stranded in scoring position. Meanwhile, freshman David Morgan pitched two scoreless innings in the fourth and fifth innings and the score remained 4-3 heading into the sixth. Stevenson's Eric Mondragon tied the game at four a piece with an RBI double down the left field line. Connor Bogansky would escape the sixth only allowing one run after two groundouts halted the momentum.  

Bogansky, T.J. Snyder, and Alex Crocamo pitched well in the late innings as both offenses struggled to break the tie and headed to extra innings with the score 4-4. The Bears went down in order in the top half of the inning after a lineout and two strikeouts. The Mustangs opened the bottom of the tenth with a single and advanced the runner with a sac bunt. After a walk, both runners advanced 90 feet via a balk and another intentional walk loaded the bases. Jonathon Brandt drove in the winning run with a single to left to give the Mustangs a 5-4 win.  

Crocamo took the loss, allowing just one earned run and three hits. Crammer led the Bears going 3-4 with 3 RBI's, while Jared Minnichbach went 2-4 at the plate. 

The Bears will return to action tomorrow with game two and three of the series.
