Game 1
-After a couple of scoreless innings, Charleston shortstop Lee Carneal broke the 0-0 tie with a RBI single up the middle that brought around Gianfranco Morello who reached earlier on a fielder's choice and stole second to set up UC's first score.
-Charleston starter Austin Henrich was impressive once again in his outing, going 5 1/3 innings before being relieved by Levi Nash.  Henrich earned the no-decision after Jesuit evened the game at 1-1 in the top of the 6th.  Nash came in to get UC out of a jam and keep the game tied at 1-1 after inheriting runners on 2nd and 3rd and getting back-to-back outs without letting Wheeling rally for a big inning.
-Carneal provided the Game 1 heroics for UC, smashing a solo HR to left field to start the 6th inning and put the Golden Eagles back in front.  The blast proved to be the game-winner with Nash closing the door on the Cardinals in the 7th to earn the win.
 
Game 2
-Game 2 started slow for both teams before Charleston got their offense going in the 4th with Steven Davis and Austin Hathaway each driving in a run to give the Golden Eagles a 2-0 lead over Wheeling Jesuit.
-The Cardinals again showed some fight, tying the game at 2-2 in the 6th and forcing Charleston starter Anthony Zona out of the game after going 5 2/3, allowing 2 runs on 4 Cardinal hits.
-UC's Brandon Harris entered to shut down the Cardinals and give UC a chance at the walk-off win in the 9th.  Harris threw the final 3 1/3 innings in relief, allowing just 2 hits while striking out two Jesuit batters.
-Charleston loaded the bases after a Hathaway single to right, then Jeff Somuk reached on a fielder's choice, followed by an intentional walk to Taylor Itnyre that set the stage for Morello.  The Cardinals got the play they were looking for to get out of the inning with Morello chopping a ball to first base, but a poor throw by the Cardinals bounced by the catcher allowing Hathaway to score and give the Golden Eagles a 3-2 victory.

UP NEXT
-The Golden Eagles host Lake Erie College on Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. at Triana Field, making up the game that postponed earlier in the season.
