Mountain Cats and Gannon Split PSAC West Doubleheader

Erie, PA

LeGars, ZacPitt-Johnstown's Zac Legars belted a two-run homerun and Aiden Coleman and Seth Shuey combined to limit Gannon to one run on three hits in a 6-1 win to open a PSAC West doubleheader in Erie on Friday.  The Golden Knights held off a three-run Mountain Cat seventh inning in the nightcap to get the split with a 4-3 win.  Pitt-Johnstown is now 10-22 overall and 2-12 in conference-play.
 
In the opener, a bases loaded walk to Frank Kula by Mountain Cat starter Coleman gave the Golden Knights a 1-0 lead after two innings.
 
Pitt-Johnstown answered with three runs in the top of the fourth, including LeGar's two-run homer to left, to take the lead, before Noah Donis' RBI single scored Devon Boyles from second and Brody Roberts two-run base hit in the top of the sixth pushed it out to 6-1.
 
Aidan Steinbugl went 3-for-3 with a double and a run scored, while Roberts had two hits and drove in two, and LeGars added the two-run homer for Pitt-Johnstown.
 
Coleman, AidenShuey, SethShuey held Gannon scoreless on just one hit over the final four innings in relief of Coleman to even his record at 1-1.  Coleman pitched the first three innings and allowed one run on two hits, while striking out three and walking one.
 
In game two, Connor Smith's three-run homer to left-center off of Brian Pirone highlighted a four-run Gannon first inning.
 
Neither team scored until the top of the seventh when the Mountain Cats scored three.  Stephen Rodgers scored on a Gannon fielding error to get Pitt-Johnstown on the board and Robert's fielder's choice plated Nathan Helms to cut it to 4-2.  However, after Legars double-home to make it a one-run game, Golden Knights' reliever Logan was able to get the final out to record his third save of the season.
 
Pirone settled down after the four-run first inning and held Gannon scoreless over the next four innings, but suffered the loss and fell to 1-5.  Pirone scattered five hits, fanned six and walked one.  Cole Sansom allowed one hit in a scoreless sixth inning.
 
Legars had an RBI double and Roberts had a hit and an RBI for the Mountain Cats.
 
With the split, the Golden Knights are now 13-19 overall and 6-8 in the PSAC West.
 
The Mountain Cats and Gannon will complete their four-game PSAC series Saturday afternoon at Point Stadium in Johnstown.  Tuesday's non-conference game against Shippensburg scheduled for 3 p.m. at Point Stadium has been canceled due to the Red Raiders having to make up conference games due to weather postponements.
