SVC drops two to Altoona


The Bearcats lost a pair of non-conference games to Penn State-Altoona Lions at Bearcat Ballfield by scores of 9-4 and 16-3.

The Lions captured game one thanks to a 5-run inning in the top of the 7th, breaking a 4-4 tie.

Altoona scored three times in the top of the first off SVC starter Ryan Shirley, with a walk, a pair of hits and a sacrifice fly.  After that, Shirley settled down, and battled Altoona's Aaron Smith in a pitcher's duel.

Smith kept SVC off the board until the 4th, when a pair of errors helped SVC to score a pair of runs.  With two outs, Bobby Finn singled, and Eddie Kilkeary reached on an error, putting two runners on.  Brady Duricko followed with a grounder that was misplayed, then the throw to first was wide, allowing both runners to score.

The Bearcats tied the game in the 5th, as Parker Janosko led off with a walk then moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Mike Hildebrand.  Stone Holtzman then singled home Janosko to make it a 3-3 game.  

In the 6th, a hit batsman was followed with a pair of outs, but a single put two runners on and Shirley was replaced by Nick Hessilbirg.  After a walk, the go-ahead run came home on a wild pitch.

SVC came right back in the bottom of the sixth, as Kilkeary walked and moved to second when Duricko reached on an error.  Nick LaCava was hit by a pitch to load the bases.  After a pitching change, Hildebrand singled to center, scoring Kilkeary, tying the game at 4-4.

However, the Lions first four batters all came up with hits - a double, a triple, and a pair of singles - off reliever Jarrett Noel.  Ryan Rojtas came out of the bullpen to get out of the inning, but not before two more hits were added, leading to a total of 5 runs.

SVC struggled from the outset in game two, yielding runs in 6 of 7 innings while managing just four hits offensively.  James Borkowski had a 2-run single  for the Bearcats.  Fred Gillespie (1-4) worked the first three innings, giving up 2 earned runs and taking the loss.

Saint Vincent is now 12-16 overall for the season, while Penn State-Altoona improves to 10-17.
