He really sets the bar for the rest of the team in all three aspects.” The doubleheader sweep was the first over Drew since 2000, and Chou also picked up a win on the mound in Caltech’s 11-10 win in game one of the twinbill.

It says a lot about a freshman to come out that way against the caliber of team that Marietta is. He deserves a lot of credit. He was composed, he competed, and he gave us a great chance to get the victory. We are excited to have Dan with us for four years.”

In the seventh place bout at 157, Martoccio took on eighth-ranked Greg Hegarty from Maryville University. The CR South grad snagged a single-leg takedown in the first period and held on offense for 37 seconds before Hegarty managed to escape. Hegarty chose bottom for the second period, allowing Martoccio to surpass one minute of riding time. After an escape, Hegarty then evaded a shot from Martoccio and turned it into a takedown to take a 4-3 lead into the final period.
