Golden Wolves Take Series Over Pride with Saturday Split

Reading, Pa. (March 18, 2023) - Alvernia University (9-6, 5-1) split its Saturday doubleheader with Widener University (6-10, 2-4) in MAC Commonwealth baseball action at Alvernia.

The Golden Wolves took game one, 2-1, and the Pride took game two, 11-5. Alvernia also picked up a win over Widener on Friday as the Golden Wolves won the series.

Alvernia got on the board in the bottom of the first as Thomas Faggioni hit a first-pitch leadoff home run to start the day for the Golden Wolves.  The Golden Wolves then got out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the second to keep the 1-0 lead.

After not allowing a hit in the top of the third, Alvernia added one run onto its lead in the bottom of the third as Zach Rogacki singled through the right side to score Faggioni and give Alvernia the 2-0 lead.

The Pride got one back in the top of the fourth on an infield single to cut Alvernia's lead in half, 2-1. 

Alvernia stranded a runner in the bottom of the fifth. The Pride stranded the game-tying run in the top of the sixth. Alvernia stranded two more runners in the bottom of the sixth, but Jason Kelly, pitching in relief, retired the side in the top of the seventh to take the 2-1 win.

Faggioni and Rogacki finished with a hit and RBI each. Jake Umans got the win on the mound in game one, pitching five innings and striking out three. Kelly picked up his first save of the season. 

In game two of the afternoon, the Pride got off to a fast start with a one run in the first and a six-run inning off of five hits in the second. The Pride added three more in the top of the third to take a 10-0 lead through two and a half innings. Widener then added one more in the top of the fifth to take an 11-0 lead.

Alvernia was held hitless through four innings and broke through with a Connor Friedel double in the bottom of the fifth to score Ryan Byard, who led off the inning with a walk. 

The Golden Wolves picked up two more in the bottom of the sixth as the Pride walked a batter with the bases loaded on back–to-back to at-bats. 

Alvernia got another two back in the bottom of the seventh as Faggioni hit his second homer of the day to lead off the inning, and Mike Ramundo singled to center later in the inning to score Tim Siegel. But, those runs would be too little too late as the Pride took the 11-5 win.

Faggioni again led Alvernia with one hit and one RBI.

The Golden Wolves are back in action on Monday at Kean.
