LARGO, Md. – Bay To (Philadelphia, Pa./Neumann-Goretti) smacked two home runs including the go-ahead three-run homer in the first inning to propel Prince George's Community College past Anne Arundel Community College 15-8 in Maryland Junior College Athletic Conference (MD JUCO) baseball action on Tuesday.

To went 3-for-4 with four RBIs, three runs scored and a walk. The sophomore smacked an opposite field three-run homer to give the Owls (6-9, 1-2 MD JUCO) a 4-3 lead in the first, singled off the third baseman's glove in the second and scored and then drilled a solo home run down the left field line in the fourth for his second-round tripper of the afternoon.

Tommy Petrosino Jr (Bayonne, N.J./St. Anthony's) added two hits, three RBIs and a run scored while Austin Adams (Atlanta, Ga./Whitewater) registered two hits, two runs scored and two RBIs in the winning effort.

Prince George's rallied from an early deficit and never looked back to earn its first league win of the season.

After the Riverhawks scored three runs in the top of the first on a three-run homer, the Owls answered with a four-run first to take a 4-3 lead after one inning.

Adams reached on a bunt single and stole second. After Petrosino walked and Adams moved over to third on a wild pitch, Alexander Montero (LaRomana, Dominican Republic/Colegio Neuva) singled through the left side to plate Adams. To then drilled an opposite field three-run homer to give Prince George's a 4-3 edge.

The Owls added three runs in the second to take a 7-3 lead. Holden reached on an error and moved to second on the play and to third on Adams fly out before he touched home on Petrosino's RBI groundout. After To singled to third base, Dominic Marquez (Long Beach, Calif./Jordan) hit a two-run single up the middle for a four-run lead.

In the third, Holden walked, stole second and came around to score on Petrosino's RBI single to third for an 8-3 advantage.

After Anne Arundel scored two runs in the top of the fourth, Prince George's answered with three runs in the bottom of the frame to take an 11-5 lead. To drilled a solo homer to start the three-run rally. Marquez walked and Vinny Rotundo (New York, N.Y./Middletown) singled through the left side before Holden tripled down the right field line to bring home Marquez and Rotundo.

The Riverhawks posted a run in the fifth and two in the sixth only to see the Largo program post three runs in the bottom of the sixth to restore a six-run lead at 14-8 thanks to a two-run triple by Adams and an RBI single by Petrosino.

The Owls sealed the win with a run in the eighth after Rotundo doubled and came around to score on Holden's run-scoring single for a 15-8 lead.

Rotundo had three hits and two runs scored while Montero recorded three hits, two runs scored and an RBI. Clark Reese (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt) earned the victory.
