Baseball Splits PSAC West Doubleheader at California (PA)

Washington, PA

Disso_Mario.jpgMario Disso delivered a go-ahead RBI single in the top of the seventh inning, and Ben Briggs tossed a complete complete-game to lift Pitt-Johnstown to a 3-2 victory over California (PA) in game one of Saturday's PSAC baseball doubleheader at Wild Thing's Park in Washington.  the Vulcans took the nightcap, 5-1.  The Mountain Cats are now 16-22-1 overall and 4-16 in conference-play.
 
In game one, Anthony Venezia's one-out solo homer in the bottom of the first put Cal U on top, but the Mountain Cats answered to tie it in the top of the fourth on Justin Turcovski's RBI single that scored Dylan Broderick.
 
After Venezia led off the Vulcan's half of the fourth with his second solo homer of the game off of Pitt-Johnstown starter Ben Briggs to give the lead back to Cal U, Broderick singled home Disso to knot it again.
 
The Mountain Cats scratched out a run to take the lead in the top of the seventh.  Josh Reynolds led off with a pinch-hit single, moved to second on Colin Sacrifice bunt, then to third on a wild pitch, before scoring on Disso's single to center.
 
Briggs_Ben.jpgThe Vulcans got a runner to third with two outs in the bottom of the seventh, but Briggs was able to get David Lee to ground out to close out the complete-game victory and improve to 2-4.  Briggs allowed just two runs on six hits, while striking out two and walking one.
 
Turcovski went 3-for-3 with a double and an RBI, while Disso and Broderick each had two hits and drove in a run for the Mountain Cats.
 
In game two, Cal U opened the scoring with a run in the bottom of the third, before Tyler Smith's two-double in the Mountain Cat fifth knotted it at one.
 
The Vulcans jumped right back into the lead on a Jacob McCaskey two-run homer to left in the bottom of the fifth, then added two in the sixth on their way to the 5-1 win
 
Smith's RBI double in the fifth accounted for Pitt-Johnstown's only hit off of Cal U's Dylan Brosky and Troy Lincavage.  Brosky allowed one run on one hit, while striking out five and walking one in five innings.  Lincavage fanned Turcovski_Justin.jpgtwo and walked one over the final two innings.
 
 Wil Fetrow suffered the loss after giving up three runs on five hits in five innings.
 
With the split, the Vulcans are now 25-14 overall and 10-10 in the PSAC West.
 
The Mountain Cats visit Slippery Rock to begin a four-game, home-and-home conference series on Friday, before completing the series with a pair of games on Saturday at Point Stadium starting at 1 p.m.
