Pasone’s Late Inning Homer Helps Lift Mountain Cats to Non-Conference Win Over Shippensburg

Johnstown, PA

Pasone_Colin.jpgColin Pasone's seventh-inning home run erased a one-run Pitt-Johnstown deficit and helped lift the Mountain Cats to a 7-6, non-conference victory over Shippensburg, Tuesday afternoon at Point Stadium.  Dylan Broderick also drove in four for Pitt-Johnstown, which evened its record at 15-15-1,
 
In game one, Justin Darden's two-out RBI single in the top of the first off of Mountain Cat starter Grayson Hall put Shippensburg on top, but Pitt-Johnstown got run scoring singles from Lennox Pugh and Broderick in its half of the fourth to make it 2-1.
 
Broderick delivered a bases clearing three-run double in the Mountain Cat third to increase it to 5-1.
 
The Raiders got a run back in the top of the third and two more in the fourth to cut it to 5-4, before regaining the lead, 6-5, with two more runs in the fifth.

Mountain Cat relievers Seth Shuey and Brady walked held the Raiders scoreless and combined the fan three over the final two innings to preserve the win.  Shuey got his first collegiate in relief of Hall after striking out a pair in two innings.  Walker allowed one hit in the ninth to get his first save of the year.  Hall started and limited Shippensburg to one run on one hit in two innings.
 
Along with Pasone's homer, Broderick went 2-for-4 with a double and four RBI, and Pugh singled and drove in one for Pitt-Johnstown.
 
Darden had three hits and two RBI, Justin Byler singled, doubled and drove in one, and Ben Werkheiser added two hits for the Raiders, now 15-20 on the season.
 
Brock Piper suffered the loss in relief of starter after allowing two runs in 1.2 innings.  Ethan Miller started for Shippensburg and gave up five runs on five hits over the first five innings.
 
Pitt-Johnstown travels to Indiana (PA) to open a four-game, home-and-home PSAC West series with the Crimson Hawks on Friday, before closing out the series with a pair of games at Point Stadium on Saturday starting at 1 p.m.
