Keyser, W.Va. – Center fielder Nehemiah Wright tripled and left fielder Reyce Curnane singled in the ninth, extending Harford's win streak to 30 games with a 6-2 triumph over the Potomac State Catamounts on Wednesday afternoon.

With the game knotted at two heading into the final inning, Harford scored four runs to retake the lead. Jimmy Nixon reached first with a leadoff walk and was pinch run for by Justin Brown, who later advanced to third because of two miscues by the Catamount defense. A strikeout allowed Nehemiah Wright to step up and crush his first triple off the year, driving home Brown and eventually scoring himself via throwing error to move Harford head 4-2.

A wild pitch and a walk put two runners on for Curnane, who put down an RBI-single through the right side of the infield to make the score 5-2 just three batters later. Spencer Smith's fly out drove home one more Fighting Owl before the side was retired at 6-2.

Marty Neal (2.1 IP, 0 ER) closed out Potomac State in the bottom of the ninth, sitting down the final batter of the game with an emphatic strikeout to send Harford home with its win streak still intact.

Harford now stands at 40-5 on the season. Potomac State drops to 28-7.
