Shultz’s three-Hit, Shutout Helps Mountain Cats Split PSAC Senior Day Doubleheader With California (PA)

Johnstown, PA

After suffering a 3-0 setback in Saturday's PSAC West doubleheader opener against California (PA) at Point Stadium, Pitt-Johnstown sophomore right-hander Rodney Shultz answered with a three-hit, complete-game shutout in game two to lead the Mountain Cats to a 3-0 victory of their own.  Pitt-Johnstown, which celebrated Senior Day, is now 15-28 overall and 8-14 in the PSAC West.
 
Between games of the doubleheader, Head Coach Todd Williams and the Mountain Cat baseball program recognized this year's seniors…Jake Ansell, Ben Briggs, Dylan Broderick, Asher Corl, Lucas McClain, Luke Schrock, and Taylor Squiric.
 
In the opener, Payton Conte's RBI groundout in the top of the second gave California (PA) a 1-0 lead.
 
The Vulcans made it 3-0 in the fourth on RBI singles from Nathan Meeks and Conte and that's was all California (PA) starter Roman Gill would need.  Gill limited the Mountain Cats to one hit, a single by Josh Ulery in the bottom of the fourth, in the complete-game shutout.
 
Briggs suffered the loss and slipped to 2-5.  Briggs allowed three earned runs on eight hits in seven innings.
 
In the nightcap, the Mountain Cats struck for a pair of runs in the bottom of the first.  Broderick led off with a single to center, moved to second on Ansell's sacrifice bunt. and scored on Corl's double to left.  Pitt-Johnstown then loaded the bases and Josh Reynolds was hit by a pitch.
 
Garrett Prosper's sacrifice fly allowed Ulery to score from third to give the Mountain Cats a 3-0 lead after three innings.
 
Shultz did the rest.  Shultz faced just 26 Vulcans' hitters and held them scoreless on three hits to improve to 6-2.  He also struck out five and walked two.
 
Corl went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI, while added a pair of hits and scored two runs for the Mountain Cats.  Pitt-Johnstown also got a base hit and an RBI from Reynolds, and hits from Broderick, Mario Disso and Erik Rhodes.
 
With the split, California (PA) is now 22-19 overall and 9-13 in the PSAC West.
 
Pitt-Johnstown travels to Wild Things Park in Washington, Pa. to conclude the PSAC series against California (PA) on Sunday, before visiting Bloomsburg for a non-conference game on Tuesday.
