The Fighting Owls (18-12, 8-6 MDJUCO) have now won six of their last seven games, while the Panthers (4-24, 3-13) have lost their last seven straight.

Freshman Kyle Otstot (Lewisberry, Pa./Redland) led Harford, going 2-for-4 on the day with one run scored, a double and four RBI, while freshman Simon Beloff (Jupiter, Fla./Jupiter/Old Dominion) tallied his second home run of the season with a two-run shot to center in the bottom of the fifth.

Freshman Cory Grossman (2-1) (Dundalk, Md./Kenwood) picked up the win after pitching 1.1 scoreless innings in relief, while allowing just one hit and fanning one batter.

Emanuel De La Cruz led the Panthers, going 3-for-4 on the day with one RBI and one stolen base, while Daniel Petit was tabbed with the loss after giving up 10 runs (nine earned) on 13 hits, while striking out two.

The Panthers struck first with an RBI single from Adam Broussard in the second, but Harford would answer in the bottom of the inning as Beloff notched an RBI single to center to knot the score.

De La Cruz would tally his RBI single in the top of the third that would give Baltimore its last lead of the game, 2-1, as the Owls rallied for four runs in the bottom of the inning off an RBI single by freshman Mike Krider (State College, Pa./State College), RBI double by sophomore Chazz Losito (Avon  Grove, Pa./Avon Grove/Wilmington), and two-run, bases-clearing RBI double by Otstot to take a 5-2 advantage.

Baltimore would add one more run in the fifth with a sacrifice fly from Chris DeGennaro, but the Owls would combine for five runs in the bottom of the inning which saw another RBI single by Krider and bases-clearing hit by Otstot, this time a two-run single, as well as Beloff's two-run  homer on the way to the 10-3 win.

The Fighting Owls return to action on Friday when they begin a three-opponent roadstand with a doubleheader at Hagerstown at 12:00 p.m. before traveling to CCBC-Catonsville on Tuesday and Montgomery (Pa.) on Wednesday.
