However, the Gators extended their lead in the sixth inning with a two-run homer off Jose Pichardo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the seventh inning, Sharks\u2019 first baseman Matt Krtausch had a leadoff walk and shortstop Raphy Almanzar-Rosario hit a home run to left field to make the score 4-3 and bring MDC within one. The Sharks had a chance to tie the game in the eighth when outfielder David Crawford was at third base with one out, but designated hitter Henry Wallen and right-fielder Jose Crisostomo-Bock struck out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Gators ended the game, due to mercy rule, in the bottom half of the eight inning after scoring seven runs to make the final score 11-3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe goal was to keep the game close so that we could maybe tie it in the next inning,\u201d said Almanzar-Rosario. \u201cUnfortunately, in that inning things [got] out of hand.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Sunday, the Sharks faced Walters State Community College, a team from Morristown, Tennessee, that had a 61-6 record and led the nation in runs (685), hits (747), home runs (138) and RBI (639).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Miami Dade took the lead in the second inning with a sacrifice fly from Pereira to bring in Krtausch. The Senators tied the game with an RBI single to center field in the bottom of the inning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walters State went ahead in the third inning after right fielder Nick Block hit a double with runners at first and second with two outs to bring in a run. Then, a throwing error by third baseman Sujel Arias-Auzon brought in two more runs. The Senators extended their lead to 6-1 in the fourth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fifth inning was a nightmare for MDC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sharks\u2019 pitcher Anthony Figueroa struck out the first batter of the inning, but in the next at-bat, right fielder Jose Crisostomo Bock missed a routine fly ball that allowed the runner to reach second. The next batter reached first base with a bunt before Caleb McNeely doubled to left-center to make the score 8-1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sharks committed three more errors that inning that contributed to the final three runs, making the score 11-1 and forcing the game to be stopped due to the mercy rule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the team\u2019s defense wasn\u2019t the only thing not working for MDC during the tournament. The Sharks, who finished the season with a 36-19 record, only scored four runs during two games and had a .196 team batting average.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cRegardless of how the tournament went, we\u2019re still the best team in Florida,\u201d Pereira said. \u201cThis team has taught me a lot over this entire year and the commitment that these guys have put in surely paid off and it showed that we are [set] on making something great happen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Miami Dade College baseball team had a solid campaign this year.
