ARNOLD, Md. — The Anne Arundel Community College baseball team rallied in the nightcap to earn a split against Hagerstown in Region 20 divisional action at Skip Brown Field Tuesday afternoon. Hagerstown scored all of its runs in the third inning to take the first game, 5–2, but AACC bounced back in game two, winning, 3–1, behind timely hitting, clean defense and strong pitching performances from Scott Grabau and Matt Donaldson.
Game One: Hagerstown 5, AACC 2
Hagerstown broke the game open with five runs in the third, a rally highlighted by Justin Tobin's solo home run and RBI singles from Nick Miller and Thomas Antonio.
AACC struck first when AJ Cozzone singled and later scored on Camden Hodges' sacrifice fly in the opening inning. The Riverhawks threatened again in the sixth—Hodges singled, Matt Dove followed with a base hit, and Travis Fleshman delivered an RBI single—but the rally stalled with the bases loaded.
Starter Andrew Darrow took the loss, allowing five earned across three innings before Gavin Glos tossed four scoreless innings of relief.
Game Two: AACC 3, Hagerstown 1
AACC flipped the script in the nightcap, playing error‑free baseball while capitalizing on Hagerstown mistakes and delivering timely hits.
After Hagerstown scratched across a run in the second, the Riverhawks responded immediately with a two‑run inning. Travis Fleshman singled and advanced on a wild pitch, and Bryce Peacock followed with a hit and stolen base. Ryan Jones then roped a two‑run double to put AACC ahead for good.
AACC added insurance in the sixth when Jack Woods walked, stole second, took third on a throwing error, and scored on a wild pitch.
Grabau allowed just four hits and one unearned run over 4.1 innings before Donaldson shut the door, retiring the first six batters he faced and ended Hagerstown's seventh-inning comeback attempt with two runners in scoring position.
The Riverhawks (15–8) continue Region 20 divisional play Thursday in a single, nine-inning game at CCBC Essex.
