Bradford, PA - The Mount Aloysius baseball team continued its winning ways with a doubleheader sweep of Pitt-Bradford in AMCC action on the road on Saturday afternoon. The Mounties won by final scores of 7-2 and 11-8 to win their fourth and fifth games in a row.

In game one, the Mounties got off to a quick start with two runs in the opening inning. Connor Bowie drove an RBI single to left field to score Ian Helsel, and Bryn Brown came around to score on a passed ball to make it 2-0. After Pitt-Bradford got a run back in the third inning, Mount Aloysius scored four in the top of the fourth. Jesse Bortner hit a sacrifice fly to score Dylan Oswalt, and then Matthew McCourt struck for a triple to bring in two runs. McCourt came around on a Helsel double that increased the Mountie lead to 6-1.

The two teams traded runs in the sixth before the Mounties Christopher Nolan shut the door for a complete-game win. Nolan threw all seven innings and allowed seven hits while striking out five. Offensively, Brown led the team with three hits. 

Mount Aloysius again jumped out to an early lead in game two as the Mounties scored the first seven runs of the game in their first three at-bats. Among the highlights were RBI doubles from Benjamin Legath and Kyle Droz in the first inning, a two-run home run from Bortner in the second inning and a Helsel two-RBI triple in the third that made it a 7-0 ballgame. The Panthers cut the gap to 7-3 in the fourth inning before Oswalt and McCourt each blasted home run shots in the fifth inning that brought the advantage back to 10-3. 

Pitt-Bradford cut the deficit to 10-5 in the fifth inning and the home side added three more in the seventh to make it a 10-8 ballgame. Legath provided a necessary insurance run with an RBI single up the middle in the top of the eighth. Rodney Patterson then closed out the game with three scoreless innings on the hill.

Jacob Bryja was credited with the victory in game two. Mount Aloysius recorded 18 hits in game two led by three hits apiece from Helsel, Bowie, Oswalt and Droz.

The Mounties improve to 20-14 overall and 7-5 in conference play. They return to the field tomorrow with another conference doubleheader at Penn State Behrend.
