Golden Wolves Cruise Past Osprey, 12-3

Reading, Pa. (March 1, 2023) - Alvernia University (1-2) put up five runs in the third inning to propel itself to a 12-3 win over Stockton University (2-1) on Wednesday afternoon in non-conference baseball action at Alvernia.

The Golden Wolves trailed 1-0 after the top of the second, but took the lead in the bottom half of the inning. Alvernia then put up crooked numbers in the third and sixth innings to take the 12-3 win and pick up their first win of the 2023 season. 

The Osprey got on the board in the top of the second on an RBI single to the right gap, but Alvernia took the lead, 2-1, in the bottom of the second as Brandon Smith smashed a two-run homer into Alvernia's bullpen.

Alvernia kept things rolling in the bottom of the third as Billy Dougar hit a lead-off single to left field. Alvernia then had two on with one out when Zach Rogacki layed down a great bunt for a base hit to load the bases. Matt Edwards then reached on a fielder's choice, scoring Dougar, and Nick Nutile drove in Rogacki on a single to right. Jason Kelly then reached on a throwing error at third base, allowing Edwards to score on the play. Smith and Ramundo then each singled through the left side on back-to-back at bats to cap off the inning and bring one more run in for Alvernia as the Golden Wolves headed to the fourth up 7-1.

Alvernia tacked on one in the bottom of the fifth as Dougar reached on a single and Brandon Smith came around to score with two outs.

The Golden Wolves added four more runs in the bottom of the sixth with Rogacki leading off the inning on an infield single to first. After Rogacki advanced to third on a walk and passed ball, Nutile drove him in on a saf fly to center field. Kelly then drove in Edwards on a double to left field, and Thomas Faggioni capped off the inning with a two-run single through the left side to make it a 12-1 game in favor of the Golden Wolves. 

Alvernia allowed just one hit through the seventh and eighth innings, but the Osprey got two back in the bottom of the ninth. Alvernia's lead was too much to overcome as Alvernia came away with the 12-3 win. 

First year Evan Wood picked up his first career win on the mound with a six-inning performance. He struck out six and allowed just one run. Shayne Ostrowsky, Jack Cossa, and James Mueller each pitched one inning in relief. Smith led Alvernia with three hits, three RBIs, and two runs scored. 

Alvernia is back in action on Saturday to kick off its spring break trip to Fort Myers with a game against Rockford University.
