The McMaster baseball team started the 2012 season in fine fashion by beating the defending OUA champion Toronto Varsity Blues 4-2 in Toronto.

McMaster’s starting pitcher Carlos Cabrero went 7.1 strong innings, scattering four hits to pick up the win.  Tomas Rincon came on in relief with one out in the bottom of the 8^th inning and closed things out over the last inning and two-thirds to get the save.
 
The Marauders broke open a 2-2 tie in the top of the 8^th inning, getting key RBI’s from Cameron Ryerson and Cole Lewis to grab the two-run lead.
