BEL AIR, Md. - Harford starter Bobby Spencer tossed seven strong innings, as the Fighting Owl offense did just enough to down the Monroe College Mustangs 3-1.

Although he only faced the minimum once, Spencer (2-1) looked sharp and shut down most of Monroe's offensive advances. The Atlanta, Georgia native struck out six and allowed just one run on 78 pitches.

Despite a season low two hits for the game, Harford's offense came through when it mattered the most. An RBI-single by Trey Cruz in the fifth drove home Cam Trego to tie the game at 1-1. Cruz ran himself into a pickle in the next at-bat, allowing Quinn Madden to steal home to put the Fighting Owls up 2-1. 

A solo shot by Braedon Karpathios in the bottom sixth followed by another strong inning from Spencer in the seventh landed Harford a sweep of its East District rival.

Harford improves to 22-4 on the season after the win.
