Barr Hits for Cycle, Baseball Rolls Over Wagner

Box Score

WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army West Point baseball's Chris Barr hit for the Black Knights' first cycle since 2008, four Army hit four home runs Tuesday at Doubleday Field and the home team rolled to an 18-8, run-rule win over the Wagner Seahawks.

The senior from Sarasota, Fla. opened Army's scoring with a solo home run in the bottom of the first, a tone setter which culminated in a 5-for-5 day with four RBIs, recording the first Army cycle since Tony Capozzi vs. Dartmouth on March 21, 2008.

Barr secured the cycle with his first inning homer, a second inning single, a third inning triple and finally a double down the right field line in the fifth, to clinch the feat in just the minimum four at bats.

Joining Barr at the home run party was John McKillop and Josiah Overbeek. McKillop followed Barr's homer in the first inning just three at bats later with a three-run home run, before hitting a two-run homer in the fifth, representing the first career home runs for the sophomore and the fourth individual multi-home run game by a Black Knight in 2026.

Overbeek meanwhile hit his 10th homer this season in the sixth, a solo home run which tied the program's freshman home run record, previously set by Cole White in 2005.

A high-scoring matchup, Army's four-run first answered the three runs Wagner scored in the top of the opening inning. After the Seahawks retook the lead with another trio in the second, the Black Knights jumped back in front for good in the second, with four runs via Barr's single, a William Parker RBI double and McKillop RBI groundout.

Limiting Wagner to one run in the third, Army took a 10-7 lead in the bottom half of the inning, with Barr's RBI triple coming one at bat before he crossed the plate on a wild pitch.

Army opened the floodgates in the fifth and sixth innings, with five and three runs respectively. After Barr's RBI double in the fifth set his cycle in stone, Schreck followed with an RBI double of his own before McKillip's second homer Tuesday made it 15-8.

Overbeek's solo home run in the sixth was followed by a Parker RBI single, who would later cross the plate on a wild pitch in the inning to give Army its ultimate 10-run lead.

Left-handed pitcher William Leahy got the start on the mound, pitching one inning. Joe Vaccarella followed in relief, pitching 1.1 frames and earning the win.

After Ian Standlee provided 1.2 innings, Jakob Vanderhave pitched the final three stanzas and picked up his first career save, by virtue of his three full innings tossed.

By the Numbers

4: The club's four homers were the most hit by the team in 2026.

18: Army's 18 hits Tuesday were the most it has hit in a game this season.

6: McKillop had six RBIs on Tuesday.

5: Barr crossed the plate five times, a season-high by any Black Knight.

Black Knight Notes

For just the second time in the Chris Tracz era, a left-handed pitcher got the start for Army. Tuesday represented the first southpaw start since May 7, 2023 at Lafayette, when Sean Dennehy got the ball in Army's regular season finale.

Overbeek extended his career-commencing on-base streak to 32 games.

Barr moved to second all-time in career stolen bases at Army, with his 14th career three-bagger. He's now just one triple away from tying Milan Dinga's career record of 15 triples.

Army sent 10 batters to the plate in the fifth inning, the 12th time each batter came to the plate in an inning this year.

The Black Knights played error-free baseball for the 17th time in 2026.

Dubrule made his first career start at second base, having previously made 26 starts this year at third.

McKillop slotted into the lineup at first base for the third time this season.

Five freshman started for Army on Tuesday, a season-high.
