Maryville Upperclassmen Carry the Load in 10-3 Senior Day Win Over McKendree

ST. LOUIS – Maryville University was lifted to a 10-3 Senior Day win over McKendree University on Saturday afternoon. Ben Prywitch earned the win on the mound after five no-hit innings while Matt Schuler, Elias Stevens, and Michael Gould combined for eight RBI. 
 
McKendree Recap
Maryville starting pitcher Ben Prywitch worked around a two-out walk in the top of the first inning while two other seniors did damage in the bottom of the first. Michael Gould moved runners into scoring position with a double before Elias Stevens drove in a run with a fielder's choice. In the next at-bat, Matt Schuler hammered his 12th home run of the season to put the Saints ahead 3-0. 
 
Prywitch took the ball in the second and retired the next 12 batters he faced to end his day. The senior exited his Weber Field finale after five innings, a pair of strikeouts, and no hits allowed. 
 
Stevens drove in another run in the second with an RBI groundout and Schuler plated his third of the day with a double down the right-field line to score Jack Zebig. Five more came in for the Saints in the third on an error, an RBI single from Gould, and a two-run home run from Stevens to push the lead out to 10-0. 
 
McKendree got its first hit in the top of the sixth off of the Maryville bullpen leading to a two-out, two-run home run from the third baseman Michael Paule. They added a third run in the top of the seventh on a Brody Macak single up the middle to pull within seven runs. 
 
Braden Barnard came out of the bullpen in the eighth and faced the minimum and got a double play to end the inning. Drake Downing finished a 10-3 win with a scoreless inning in the ninth with one strikeout.
