Pugh Homers in Opener, Fetrow Strikes Out Nine in Nightcap, But Baseball Drops Pair of PSAC Games at Mercyhurst

Erie, PA

Pugh_Lennox.jpgLennox Pugh hit his team-leading sixth home run of the season in the opener, and Wil Fetrow allowed just one run and struck out nine in the nightcap, but Mercyhurst was able to take a pair of PSAC West games from Pitt-Johnstown, Saturday afternoon in Erie.  The Lakers took game one 7-2, and completed the sweep with a 1-0 victory in game two.
 
In game one, Josh Surowiec's three-run homer to center highlighted a six-run Mercyhurst third inning, before John Susnik's base hit scored Luke Jackson in the bottom of the fourth to give the Lakers a 7-0 lead.
 
The Mountain Cats cut it to 7-2 in the top of the sixth on Pugh's two-run home run to left, but Pitt-Johnstown couldn't get any closer.
 
Pugh went 2-for-3 with a homer, a double, and two RBI for the Mountain Cats.
 
Fetrow_Wil.jpgBen Briggs suffered the loss for Pitt-Johnstown and dropped to 1-3 after surrendering seven runs on nine hits in five innings.  Briggs also struck out five and walked three.  Seth Shuey gave up one hit, struck out one, and walked one in a scoreless sixth inning.
 
Surowiec was 3-for-4 with a double, homer, and three RBI, while Susnik drove in a pair, and Jackson collected two hits for the Lakers.
 
Mercyhurst's Daniel Thomas tossed a complete-game to improve to 3-2.  Thomas allowed two runs on two hits, both to Pugh, while finning six and walking one.
 
In game two, Chris Juchno's solo homer to center in the second off of Pitt-Johnstown starter Fetrow put the Lakers on top with what turned out to be the game's lone run.
 
That's all Fetrow would allow.  Fetrow struck out nine, walked just one, and scattered four hits in six strong innings, but suffered the tough loss and slipped to 2-3.
 
The Mountain Cats could not get the big hit with runners on base against Mercyhrust starter Aiden Kelly and reliever Jacob Bazala.  Kelly tossed the first five scoreless innings and gave up three hits, and Bazala picked-up his second save of the year in a pair of scoreless innings.
 
Garrett Prosper doubled, and Justin Turcovski, Asher Corl, Josh Reynolds, and Pugh all had hits for Pitt-Johnstown, now 14-`4-1` overall and 3-9 in the PSAC West.
 
With the sweep, the Lakers are now 18-7 overall and 7-5 in conference-play.
 
Pitt-Johnstown will host a nine-inning, non-conference game against Shippensburg on Tuesday at 3 p.m. at Point Stadium, before traveling to Indiana (PA) to open a four-game, home-and-home PSAC West series with the Crimson Hawks on Friday.
