Pugh’s Walk-off Homer Helps Mountain Cats Split PSAC Pair With Gannon

Johnstown, PA

Pugh_LennoxLennox Pugh's one-out solo homerun in the bottom of the seventh of Friday's first game of a PSAC Western doubleheader at Sargent's Stadium at the Point broke a scoreless tie and lifted Pitt-Johnstown to a 1-0 victory over Gannon.  The Golden Knights got the split with a 15-2 win in the nightcap.  The Mountain Cats are now 16-14 overall and 12-10 in conference-play.
 
In game one, Pitt-Johnstown's Dylan Heid and Gannon's Deven Judy locked up in a scoreless pitcher's duel until Pugh's homer in the bottom of the seventh.
 
With one out in the bottom of the seventh, Pugh lined a Judy pitch over the left-centerfield walk to give the Mountain cats the walk-off victory.
 
Pugh went 2-for-3 with the solo homer, while Chase Vargo and Owen McKeever accounted for the other two Pitt-Johnstown hits.
 
Heid_DylanHeid, the PSAC West and NCBWA Atlantic Pitcher of the Week, improved to 7-3 after tossing a complete-game shutout.  Heid scattered just three singles, fanned 11, and didn't allow a walk.
 
Judy took the loss for Gannon and fell to 3-4 after giving up four hits, including Pugh's homerun, in 6.1 innings.  Judy struck out seven, walked one and hit two.
 
In game two, Gannon used a five-run fifth inning to break it open on its way to the 15-2 victory.
 
Ryan Kalbfus led off the top of the second with a solo homer to left to give the Golden Knights a 1-0 lead, but Owen McKeever's sacrifice in the Mountain Half of the second tied it knotted it.
 
Gannon regained the lead in the third on Brandon Weatherholt's three-run homer, and a bases loaded walk by Pitt-Johnstown starter Joel Colledge to Alex Baldi in the fourth made it 5-1.
 
The Golden Knights added five more in the fifth and two in the sixth to push it out to 12-1.
 
Colin Pasone and McKeever accounted for the two Pitt-Johnstown RBI, while Tyler Treese and Josh Reynolds each doubled for the Mountain Cats.
 
Colledge suffered the loss and dropped to 3-4 after surrendering five runs on five hits over the first 3.1 innings.
 
Adam Melecki had three hits and an RBI, and Weatherholt had two hits, including the three-run homer to lead Gannon, now 15-13 overall and 13-9 in the PSAC West.
 
Pitt-Johnstown will conclude the PSAC series against the Golden Knights on Saturday in Erie, before traveling to Bloomsburg for a non-conference game on Tuesday.
