Zach Scipione's game winning hit in the bottom of the 10th inning. |
Soto picked up the win with just an inning of relief. Juan P. DeArmas also pitched 0.2 innings in the win. Trent Golz pitched eight of the 10 innings and had six strikeouts while giving up just four earned runs.
PNC started the game off with one-run in the first inning but saw Judson score two runs in the bottom of the second inning. Three straight hits started off the inning as Scipione doubled to left center field and then advanced to third on Tejada's single. Kainovic followed Tejada with a double down the left field line to bring home Scipione to tie the game at one. Two batters later, Haberkorn grounded out but it scored Tejada from third base for the second run of the game.
Following Judson's two runs, PNC added three in the top of the third inning for a 4-2 lead. Their two-run lead did not last long, again, as Judson's offense batted in seven runs in the bottom of the inning for a 9-4 advantage.
With the bases loaded, Scipione hit his second double of the game to bring home Oscar DePablos and Fischer. Those two runs tied the game at four. Tejada made it 7-4 with his second home run of the year to break open the game. Two batters later, Roger Lugo doubled and then he came home when Bostwick reached base on a throwing error. Fischer stepped up to the plate and lifted a triple to right center field to score the seventh run of the game to make it 9-4.
After five scoreless innings, PNC's offense awake with six runs in the top of the ninth inning to retake the lead, 10-9.
DePablos started off the bottom of the ninth by reaching base on a PNC error. Brett Ehrlich then singled to advance DePablos to second. DePablos then reached third base on a fielder's choice and came home to tie the game when Tejada had his third hit of the game.
In the top of the 10th inning, PNC picked up the go-ahead run when Pierce was walked with the bases loaded. With the bases loaded and two outs, DeArmas proceeded to get Dickerson to foul out to end the inning and the threat.
Down one run heading into the bottom of the 10th inning, Judson rallied to take the win scoring two runs. Golz started off the inning with a walk and then made it to second on a sacrifice bunt by Bostwick. Golz advanced to third on a throwing error that allowed Fischer to reach base. CCAC Freshman of the Year DePablos then singled in the tying run with a hit up the middle. After an intentional walk to Ehrlich, Scipione singled up the middle to end the game and give Judson the win.
