Baseball to Open PSAC Series With Slippery Rock on Saturday at Point Stadium

Johnstown, PA


After Friday's doubleheader at Slippery Rock was postponed due to weather, the Mountain Cat baseball team will now open it's four-game PSAC Western Division series with a doubleheader against The Rock on Saturday, starting at 1 p.m. at Point Stadium.

Head Coach Todd Williams, already Pitt-Johnstown's "winningest" baseball coach, comes into the weekend needing four victories to reach 500 for his career.  The Mountain Cats look to bounce back after dropping 3-out-of-4 games to California (PA) last weekend.  The Vulcans earned 4-2 and 8-4 wins in Washington, Pa. last Saturday, before taking Monday's opener, 8-5.  Pitt-Johnstown won game four, 6-4, behind Zach Zinn's solo homer and Tyler Smith's three RBI.

Slippery Rock, under 34th-year Head Coach Jeff Messer, is 12-15 overall and 3-9 in the PSAC West after sweeping a pair of non-conference games against Mansfield on Tuesday.  In the opener, Joe Campagna and Colin Cain each homered in an 11-6 win, before The Rock completed the sweep with a 9-4 win in the nightcap. Campagna had 2-run homer and five RBI.  Slippery Rock also split a four-game PSAC series with Clarion last weekend.

 Last season, Slippery Rock swept the four-game series against the Mountain Cats.  On April 6, The Rock earned 9-7 and 7-4 victories, before completing the sweep with 7-3 and 8-7 wins on April 8.

Pitt-Johnstown will make-up Friday's doubleheader at Slippery Rock on Sunday or Monday, before traveling to Lock Haven for a non-conference doubleheader on Tuesday.  The Mountain Cats will then host a PSAC doubleheader against Gannon on Friday at 1 p.m. at Point Stadium.
