Baltimore, Md. (March 13, 2016)--Mount St. Mary's scored five times in the top of the seventh inning to tie the game, but saw Marist score the game-winning run in the bottom of the inning in a 10-9 loss on Sunday at the UMBC Dawg Pound Invitational.  The Mount's second game of the day against UMBC was rained out.

The Red Foxes (11-4) were able to answer the Mount rally on Gabrielle Kelleher's RBI single up the middle in the bottom of the seventh to earn the win.
