Vero Beach, Fla. (Mar. 6, 2010) - Alvernia University (7-2) wrapped up the spring break trip with a doubleheader split with Muhlenberg College (1-1) Saturday afternoon in Vero Beach.  Steve DeBarberie (Drexel Hill, Pa./Monsignor Bonner) had a pair of doubles and Nole Saylor (Boyertown, Pa./Boyertown) had his fourth triple of the week and both knocked in three to help Andrew Kirk (Media, Pa./Penncrest) to the 8-3 win in the opener.

Saylor tripled home a pair in the first inning and brought in the third run of the game with a sacrifice fly in the third.  DeBarberie followed that with an RBI double as the Crusaders took a 4-0 lead after three innings.

Alvernia tacked on a run in the sixth on a Brian Witkowski (Ewing, N.J./Notre Dame) single, and scored three in the seventh, the first two on another DeBarberie double.

Muhlenberg came back from a 7-2 deficit with six runs over the last three innings to earn the 8-7 win in game two.  The big blow was five runs on five hits in the fifth for the Muhls.  Alvernia sophomore Chuck Krichling (Chesterfield, N.J./Northern Burlington) was 4-for-4 in the game.

Krichling doubled with one out in the home half of the seventh, but Saylor struck out and DeBarberie grounded out to end the game.

Alvernia returns home to host Rowan University on Tuesday.
