CHANDLER, Ariz. – Mark Schmidt survived a shaky first inning to pitch a complete game as the University of Southern Maine defeated Williams 8-2 Sunday in the first game of a college baseball doubleheader.

The Ephs (1-1) rallied for six runs in their final at-bat to win the second game, 11-10.

The first five batters reached base against Schmidt in the first, but he worked out of a bases-loaded jam after giving up two runs. He allowed just two hits over the final five innings.

Josh Mackey and Anthony Pisani each had three hits for USM (6-3). Mackey knocked in two runs and Pisani scored twice. Tucker White added a double and a triple and knocked in the go-ahead runs in the fourth.

Pisani had a two-run double as the Huskies scored four times in the sixth inning of Game 2 to take a 7-5 lead. But Williams sent 10 batters to the plate in the seventh for the winning rally.

John Carey had three hits for USM in the second game.
