CHESTER, Pa. – Charlie Carluccio drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning and picked up the win, throwing 2.0 scoreless innings in relief to help the Haverford College baseball team defeat host Widener University, 6-5, in 10 innings Tuesday afternoon.

Haverford's (22-14) trailed by four runs early, but chipped away with single runs in the fourth and fifth and two runs in the eighth. Widener (17-10) scored a run in the bottom of the eighth to take the lead back, but Jake Kaden's sacrifice fly in the ninth tied the score again and allowed Carluccio's single to cap off the comeback.

Widener took the lead in the bottom of the second with four runs off starter Dan Hochberg.

Haverford plated a run in the fourth on a double play and another in the fifth on a sacrifice fly by Louis DeRosa to make it 4-2.

After scoreless sixth and seventh innings, DeRosa led off the top of the eighth with a home run down the right field line. Jake Chaplin followed with a single, and after two outs, scored on a single by Mike Galetta to tie the game at 4-4.

With one out in the bottom of the eighth, Colin Keelan singled and Tom Mahoney walked to put the go-ahead run in scoring position. After a fly out, Tom DeAngelis gave Widener a 5-4 lead with a double down the right-field line

Alex Hudak and Jeff Rickert began the top of the ninth with singles for Haverford. Rickert and Matt Liscovitz, who pinch ran for Hudak, executed a double steal to put the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position with no outs. After a strikeout, Kaden hit a sacrifice fly to right to tie the game. Following a wide throw home on the play, pitcher Joe Sessa was backing up the play and fired to catcher Dennis Hocker to get Rickert at the plate to end the threat.

Carluccio (1-1) retired the Pride in order in the ninth, singled home the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th and again retired three straight Widener hitters in the bottom for the win.

DeRosa, Carluccio, Kaden and Jeff Butera each had two hits for the Fords. DeRosa drove in a pair of runs and scored twice.

Jonny Black, Ben Regan, Dan Feller, Galetta and Carluccio combined to strike out seven and allow just one run in 8.0 innings of relief.
