No. 15 Baseball Drops Pair To Pot State

BEL AIR, Md. - The No. 15 Harford baseball team (37-9) dropped a pair of extra-inning battles with Region XX foe Potomac State (26-8) on Sunday. The Fighting Owls were stymied in the opener, 3-2, and blew a six-run lead in game two to lose, 11-8.

The game two loss overshadowed an amazing pitching performance by James English. The right-hander struck out a school record 16 batters without issuing a walk in 7.1 innings of work. He allowed just one hit in the first five innings and was given a 6-0 lead, but sloppy play and mental errors did in the Fighting Owls.

Potomac State 3, Harford 2 (8)
The Fighting Owls started off the opener with a bang but managed just one hit after the first in the extra-innings loss. Jack Hamner belted a home run on the second pitch of the opening frame, and the first five Fighting Owls reached base safely. After a mound visit, the Catamounts ace Evan Mitchell settled down and stifled the high-powered Harford offense.

Josh Silvestri took the hard-luck loss, going the distance while scattering 10 hits for three earned runs. He struck out seven, but walked three batters to fall to 5-3. In the decisive eighth, Silvestri allowed a leadoff single and a walk before retiring the next two Catamounts. A hit-by-pitch loaded the bases before the No. 9 hitter singled to left for the game winner.

Potomac State 11, Harford 8 (8)
English was untouchable through the first five innings in his best start on the mound in his career. He struck out a pair of batters in each of the first five innings before running into a minor jam in the sixth. Despite allowing three hits in the frame, including a two-run double by Matt Maiers, English struck out the side. He whiffed 16 batters, including four looking, to break All-American Joe Harbach's record of 15 against CCBC Dundalk back in 2010.

Leading 6-2 in the seventh, Potomac State took advantage of some Harford miscues and tied the game on a three-run double by Korey Foltz and a two-out single by Matt Jeffery. In extra innings, English should have gotten out of the inning 1-2-3 with a pair of strikeouts, but a throwing error and a mental error gave the Catamounts new life as they exploded for five runs, all unearned, to take the lead. The Fighting owls offense scored a pair in the bottom half, but it was too little, too late.

The Fighting Owls travel to Mercer County for a road doubleheader on Tuesday at 2 p.m.
