Baseball’s Season Ends With Loss at No. 10 Bentley in the NCAA Tournament

Goldey-Beacom once again put together a memorable campaign on the baseball diamond, but the 2026 version came to an end with an 11-2 loss at No. 10 Bentley at the NCAA Tournament in Waltham, MA.
 
Goldey-Beacom (33-24) this season played in the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time in program history and fourth consecutive.  It competed in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference final for the first time, was nationally ranked for the fourth time in the last five years, played in the CACC Tournament a sixth straight year and recorded an 11-game winning streak.
 
The Lightning for the second consecutive game plated two runs in the top of the first inning.  Freshman Kaden Barmer (Edgewood, MD) and junior Bobby Stewart (Newark, DE) singled before sophomore Roman Keith (Selbyville, DE) walked to load the bases.  Sophomore Zach Smethers (Nazareth, PA) lined one off pitcher Pat Heber to score one run and sophomore Jake Macey (Smyrna, DE) followed with a sacrifice fly.
 
The Falcons halved the deficit in the last of the frame when Jared Berardino crushed one down the left-field line and it was called fair for a 2-1 contest.
 
Bentley took its first lead, 3-2, with two runs in the second.  Jake Maydak hit the tying double and then traded places with Jimmy Mitchell, who also got a run-scoring double.
 
The Falcons in the fifth inning doubled their output for a 6-2 margin.  Nick Pappas lifted a sacrifice fly and Brendan Sencaj got an RBI groundout with Tommy Bolton scoring on an error.
 
Bentely scored five times in the seventh for an 11-2 lead, highlighted by Sencaj's two-run single.
 
Heber struck out nine over seven innings, surrendering two runs and five hits for the Falcons (40-13).  Berardino rapped three hits, closing a triple short of the cycle.
