JOPLIN, MO – Continuing his blazing start to the season, Kalem Haney pounded out four hits for the University of Mary baseball team against Northwest Missouri State University, just one day after opening the season with two hits against Illinois-Springfield. Overall the Marauders and Bearcats both had 13 hits but UMary couldn't match the Northwest run production in a 13-5 loss on day two of the MSSU Lion Classic, hosted by Missouri Southern.
 
Haney finished 4-for-5 with a walk and three runs scored as the Marauders leadoff hitter. Among the sophomore second baseman's hits was a triple and he also stole a base. In two games Haney is 6-for-10 with two triples, two RBIs and three runs scored.
 
Several other Marauders had strong days at the plate. Josh Walker was 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI. Noah Hull was 2-for-4 with three RBIs. Daniel Martin was 3-for-5 with one RBI.
