MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (February 27, 2022)- Despite being down by as many as four runs, the Stonehill College baseball team rallied and topped Dominican College (N.Y.) by a score of 13-12 Sunday at the Ripken Experience. 

Standout Performances:

• Mike Swanholm, Grand Slam

Key Moments:

• After a scoreless three innings, the Chargers broke things open in the top of the fourth when Richard Paulino hit a grand slam to make it 4-0 early on. 
• Stonehill ended up picking away at the lead in the next two innings and got the deficit down to one in the bottom of the fourth when the Skyhawks had a two-run fourth that included Swanholm driving in a run from a hard hit to the Chargers shortstop. 
• However, in the top half of the fifth, Dominican College hit yet another grand slam courtesy of Brian Sanders to make it 8-3 Chargers.
• Despite being down, Stonehill rallied again and tied things up between the fifth and sixth innings that saw a two-run homer by Lidsky in the fifth, and a two-run double by Brandon Taylor to make it 8-8 heading into the seventh. 
• The Chargers again retook the lead after a three-run home run Ethan Sarmiento which made it 11-8. However, the lead was short-lived for Dominican College.
