Auburndale, FL - The D'Youville baseball team scored double-digit runs on Monday afternoon but lost to the Anna Maria Amcats by the final score of 21-10 in eight innings.

Anna Maria was controlled the game through the first five innings, leading 5-0. They then tacked on six addition runs in the top of the sixth to take an 11-0 lead over D'Youville.

In the bottom of the sixth, D'Youville came to life. Shane Critelli (Camden, NY/Camden) walked and was pinch run for by Logan Lipowski (Williamsville, NY/Williamsville East). Josh Battaglia (Rochester, NY/Hiltion) would follow with a walk and the two would move into scoring position on a wild pitch in the next at-bat.

Back-to-back singles from Jeremy Glinski (Sloan, NY/Bishop-Timon St. Jude) and Alex Liem (Dorchester, Ont./Dorchester Secondary) would drive in Lipowski and Battaglia to make the score 2-11.
