Erie, PA - The Mount Aloysius baseball team suffered two tough extra-inning losses on Sunday afternoon on the road at Penn State Behrend. The Mounties fell 2-1 in game one followed by a 4-3 loss in game two.
Game one featured strong pitching from both sides as Mountie ace
Daniel Resavy allowed just one earned run through the game's first seven innings. Behrend scored that lone run in the bottom of the first and held the one-run advantage until
Ian Helsel registered an RBI single in the top of the fifth inning that brought in
Kyle Droz to even the game at 1-1.
The Mounties put runners on first and second in their next at-bat as
Benjamin Legath and
Dylan Oswalt hit back-to-back singles, but the visitors couldn't bring either baserunner around.
Neither team threatened again until Behrend's at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With a runner on second base and two outs, the Lions hit a single to left center field to bring in the game's deciding run in walkoff fashion.
Resavy was handed the loss despite pitching 7 and 1/3 innings and allowing only seven hits and two runs. Helsel recorded two of the Mounties four hits in game one.
The Mounties fell into a 1-0 hole in game two before a Helsel single to right field in the third inning drove in
Matthew McCourt and Droz to make it 2-1 in favor of Mount Aloysius. After the Lions regained the lead at 3-2 in the fifth inning, Oswalt helped the Mounties tie things up with a RBI single in the sixth inning that brought home
Connor Bowie.
Both teams had trouble getting anything going offensively in their next few at-bats until Behrend once again ended the game with a walkoff single in the bottom of the eighth.
Andrew Shreiner was effective in game two on the mound for the Mounties as he allowed five hits and two earned runs through six innings of work. Droz led the team offensively with two hits.
Mount Aloysius falls to 20-16 overall and 7-7 in conference play. The Mounties will host a non-conference doubleheader on Wednesday against Frostburg State that is set to begin at 2 p.m.
