Winter Haven, Fla. (March 7, 2011)--Mount St. Mary's dropped a pair of games in Florida in Monday. The Mount fell to Xavier, 12-0, before dropping a 7-4 game to Yale later in the day.

Against Xaver, the Musketeers scored nine times in the second inning to break the game open. Sam Nott went 2-for-3 at the plate to pace the Mount offense while Marshall Thomason tossed two innings of scoreless relief in the game.

Yale led the Mount 5-0 heading into the bottom of the seventh before a rally cut into the deficit. Shane Eyler came through was a bases-clearing double to cut the gap to 5-3. Eyler then scored on Kyle Kane's pinch-hit double to make it a 5-4 ballgame.

Yale, however, scored single runs in the top of the seventh and eighth innings to earn the win.

Andrew Schrock allowed three runs (one earned) in four innings in the start for the Mount. At the plate, Nott was 2-for-4 while Eyler went 2-for-4 with three RBI in the game.

The Mount plays at Central Florida Tuesday night in the fourth game of the five-game trip to Florida.
