Drury Rallies Past Mount Everett in 7th

SHEFFIELD, Mass. – J.J. Prenguber drove in the winning run in the top of the seventh Tuesday as the Drury baseball team beat Mount Everett, 5-4.

 

Jake McAllister was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning. He moved up on a wild pitch and went to third on a fly ball for the second out of the inning.

 

Prenguber then singled to right field for his second hit of the game to bring McAllister home.

Lucas Hamilton went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI for the Blue Devils.

Brodie Kinna took the complete-game loss on the mound, striking out six and walking three.
