Mountain Cats Drop Two Home PSAC West Games to California (PA)

Johnstown, PA

Broderick_Dylan.jpgDylan Broderick and Colin Pasone each collected three hits, but California (PA) took a pair of PSAC games from the Mountain Cats, Friday afternoon at Point Stadium.  The Vulcans used an eighth inning unearned run to take the opener, 1-0, before completing the sweep with a 9-4 win in the nightcap.  Pitt-Johnstown is now 15-21-1 overall and 3-15 in conference-play.
 
In the opener, Pitt-Johnstown Rodney Shultz and Cal U's Jacob McCaskey locked up in a scoreless pitcher's duel until the Vulcans scratched out an unearned run in the top of the eighth.  Patrick Brogan doubled off of Pitt-Johnstown Reliever Grayson hall and scored the game's lone run on a two out Mountain Cat throwing error.
 
Broderick doubled with two outs in the Mountain Cat half of the seventh, but McCaskey was able to get the final out to close out the complete-game victory.  McCaskey tossed eight scoreless innings, struck out nine, and walked two to improve to 5-0.
 
Broderick went 2-for-4 with a double, while Lennox Pugh had two this, including a double for Pitt-Johnstown.
 
Pasone_Colin.jpgHall suffered the loss and slipped to 1-0 after giving up the unearned run in the top of the eighth.  Shultz pitched the first seven innings and held Cal U scoreless on five hits, while fanning four and walking three.
 
In game two, RBI singles from Santino Marra and Brogan in the top of the first gave Cal U an early advantage, before two more runs in the second made it 4-0.
 
An RBI single to center from Pasone and Justin Turcovski's two-run double highlighted a four-run Mountain Cat second inning that tied it.
 
Jayden Taitano's lead-off homer in the top of the third gave the lead back to the Vulcans, and McKaskey added a two-run triple to the gap in right center in the Cal U fourth got it out to 7-4
 
The Vulcans scored two more unearned runs in the top of the seventh and went on to the 9-4 victory.
 
Pasone went 3-for-3 with an RBI, and Turcovski drove in a pair with a double to lead Pitt-Johnstown.  Josh Reynolds and Broderick also had hits for the Mountain Cats
 
Taylor Squiric took the loss after allowing seven runs on nine hits over the first 3.2 innings.  Seth Shuey pitched the final 3.1 innings and limited Cal U to two unearned runs on just one hit.
 
With the sweep, the Vulcans improved to 24-13 overall and evened their record in the PSAC West at 9-9.
 
Pitt-Johnstown wraps-up the four-game PSAC series with California (PA) with a doubleheader at Wild Things Park in Washington, Pa. on Saturday, before visiting Slippery Rock to begin a four-game, home-and-home conference series on Friday.
