The Rockville Express (23-16) refused to relinquish the lead after grabbing it early against the Baltimore Dodgers (13-26), recording an 8-1 victory on Friday at Montgomery College.

Five runs in the first three innings allowed the Rockville Express to put the game away early.

and a three-run triple by Cole Warrenfeltz in the second inning supplied the early offense for the Rockville Express.

Warrenfeltz racked up three RBIs on one hit for the Rockville Express.

The Rockville Express got the win thanks in large part to Rhyan Karr's dominant, nine-strikeout performance. Karr allowed no earned runs on six hits and two walks over six innings.

The Rockville Express had no answer for Shane Sweeney, who kept runners off the basepaths in his appearance. Sweeney held the Rockville Express hitless over two innings, allowed no earned runs, walked two and struck out two.

Robert Covarrubias ended up on the wrong side of the pitching decision, charged with his third loss of the year. He lasted just 1 1/3 innings, walked three, struck out none, and allowed four runs.
