COLONELS OPEN 2014 SEASON LOSING 10-3 AGAINST MANCHESTER

MYRTLE BEACH, SC – Visiting Manchester University scored five runs in the seventh to take a 10-0 lead and never looked back posting a 10-3 victory over Wilkes University in the Colonels season opener Sunday afternoon.

Although Wilkes held a nine to six hits advantage, Manchester used some timely hitting on way to the win.

A two-run single followed by an RBI double did most of the damage in the five-run seventh for Manchester.

Tom Ring (Massapequa Park, NY/St. John the Baptist) singled home AJ Mihaly in the Wilkes' seventh to put the Colonels on the board. Deep Patel (Dallas, PA/Dallas) connected on an RBI double in the ninth and Ring added a sacrifice fly in the final frame to lead the Wilkes offense.

Patrick Condo (Dallas, PA/Holy Redeemer) started and went 5.2 innings recording the loss giving up just two hits and one earned run. Johnny Jan Jr., Marcus Leaf (Reading, PA/Berks Catholic), Forrest Jordan (Sullivan County, PA/Sullivan County) and Matt Kaster (Traben-Trabach, Germany/Crestwood) all pitched in relief in the game.

Wilkes returns to play Monday with a doubleheader against Grove City College starting at 2:00 p.m.
