Story | Boxscore | Play-by-Play
Grand Chute, Wisconsin - The 12-7 tournament loss was the first after four wins for George Fox, which had qualified for the NCAA tournament as one of three at-large selections.
After taking over with none out in the second inning, Maruska went the rest of the way. He allowed two runs (both unearned) without a walk, scattering five hits and hitting one batter. The eight-inning stint was the longest in the three-year Eastern career of Maruska, who had pitched a total of just eight inning the past three weeks.
Trailing 6-1, Eastern scored seven runs in the fourth on five hits and two George Fox errors. The first five batters of the inning reached safely and scored. Junior DH Leon Galemba,who entered play with a .160 batting average in NCAA play, had two doubles in the inning, driving in the go-ahead runs with his second one of the inning.
In the game, Re had four hits, including a double and his second home run in NCAA play. He drove in two runs with the sixth-inning home run and scored three runs. Senior second baseman Eugene Julien tied an Eastern game record with three doubles. He drove in two runs, scored three and also walked and stole a base. Senior catcher Adam Hevenor scored three runs and also had two hits in the 14-hit attack as the Warriors handed George Fox senior righty Mike Beck (7-1) his first loss after 20 straight wins.
