Runs late in the game sunk John Carroll baseball on Wednesday afternoon, as the Case Western Reserve Spartans took a 6-1 decision at Progressive Field. 

Rob Cifelli went 3-for-4 with the lone Blue Streaks RBI. Tyler Gentile, Dom Mittiga and Patrick Scholla each recorded a hit. 

Cifelli started off the scoring in the top of the fifth inning with a triple down the right field line that scored Mittiga. 

Daniel Watson brought home the tying run in the sixth and became the go-ahead run on the play. He singled to left field and scored on a throwing error. 

In the next inning, Watson struck again with an infield single that scored a run. A wild pitch made the game 4-1. 

In the eighth, Case drove in a pair to bring the final tally to 6-1.
