FREDERICK, Md. - Hood College's Cam Esposito became the first player in school history to reach 200 hits in a career but Arcadia outlasted the Blazers 10-8 in 10 innings. 

Esposito entered the game with 198 hits and after walking in the first inning, singled in his next two at-bats. His base hit to right field in the fourth gave him the milestone. 

Inside the Box Score

• Brad Sawyer went 4 for 5, drove in a run and scored twice. He was a homer short of the cycle.

• Jake Howell took the loss in relief. He struck out four in 1.2 innings but was charged with three runs on three hits and three walks. 

How it Happened

An RBI single by Esposito in the second tied the game before Sawyer doubled and scored in the fourth for a 4-3 lead. 
• Josh Fulmer's only hit of the day tied the game in the fourth. Luke Hohenstein had an RBI double and scored in the fifth before Staton's two-run double in the bottom of the inning made it 6-6. 
• The team's traded runs again the next inning when Sean Carew's homer was canceled out by a run-scoring single off the bat of Sawyer.
