Marietta, OH- Potomac State has now won seven games in a row.  For much of the season the Catamounts have felt like they have not found their footing.  They may have found it recently.

PSC extended their winning streak to seven with a road sweep over Mariette College by the scores of 8-5 and 12-4.

An early lead in game one led to the PSC win.  RBI's from Maddox Brooks, Byrce Suters, Jimmy Sadler and Tanner Haskiell pushed the lead to 7-0. 

The Pioneers took advantage of four walks and an RBI from Jack Neal in the third inning to close the gap to 7-4.

A Diego DeCello single scored a run in the fourth to make it 7-5.

Potomac State picked up an insurance run in the fifth, when Sadler walked and stole second. He then came around to score on another RBI single from Haskiell.

Marietta added a run in the fifth on a PSC error to close the gap to 8-6.

Cam Reed who pitched five innings of relief picked up the save and struck out three.

Haskiell led PSC with three hits, while Brooks and Chris Harbert added two hits apiece.

In the nightcap, Kris Sutton had three hits and Reilly Bubb drove in three runs as PSC rolled to the 12-4 win.

A.J. Battista and Aidan Sites combined for the win.  Battista allowed just a lone run in four innings of work.  Sites worked the final three innings striking out five to get the save.

Nik Rubendall added two RBI's for PSC.

The Catamounts also picked up solo RBI's from Cam Cole, Brooks, Gage Bibey and Jordan Canby.

PSC, now 21-16 will play at Cecil College on Saturday and at home on Sunday.
