Common Belts Grand Slam In Pitt-Greensburg's Loss To Loras

AUBURNDALE, Florida- Despite a grand slam from Chris Common, the Pitt-Greensburg baseball team (0-4) dropped a doubleheader to Loras College (0-2) Friday afternoon at Lake Myrtle Park #6. 


Game One
Win- Sam Marhefke (1-0)
Loss- Matt Mish (0-2)

Pitt-Greensburg jumped out to the lead in their first at-bats of the afternoon. Brody Bonadio reached first after he was hit by a pitch and Mikey Sullivan walked, followed by Tyler Holland, who reached on an error to load the bases. Sullivan put together a solid at-bat and reached base after a six-pitch at-bat that resulted in ball four, giving the freshman infielder the base. With the bases full of Bobcats, Evan Johnston came through with a sacrifice fly to centerfield, which plated Bonadio to give Pitt-Greensburg a 1-0 advantage. 

Loras tied the game at one in the top of the third, as Joe Egan scored on an RBI base hit from Austin Konagel. The Duhawks added a run in the fourth and led 2-1 after four inning of action. 

In the bottom of the fifth, Bonadio roped a one-out double to centerfield and Holland drew a two-out walk, but the Bobcats couldn't take advantage of the two base runners. 

After shutting down the Bobcats in the fifth, Loras reeled off four runs in the sixth to grab hold of the game. The Duhawks brought all nine batters to the plate in the inning and scored four runs on six hits. 

Daniel Kiester doubled home Griffin Clark in the sixth, but Loras would go on for the 6-2 victory. 

Game One Leaders
Brody Bonadio (1-3, 1 2B, 1R)
Mikey Sullivan (0-2, 2 BB)

Game Two
Win- Edward Erikson (1-0)
Loss- Abdi Rodriguez-Polanco (0-1)
Save- Erik Edminster (1)

Just like they did in the first game of the afternoon, Pitt-Greensburg jumped out to the lead with runs in its first at-bats of the afternoon. Bonadio singled to begin the inning, Sullivan drew a walk, and Holland singled to load the bases. Common stepped to the plate and scored the first run of the afternoon with a sacrifice fly. With two runners on, Johnston brought in the second run with an RBI single and Jordan Cavanaugh plated the third run of the inning with a base knock to right field. 

The second inning was much of the same for Pitt-Greensburg, as Bonadio led off with a base hit and stole second to move into scoring position. Sullivan walked, followed by Holland, who reached on a base hit. With the bases full, Common stepped to the plate and proceeded to belt the fourth pitch of the at-bat over the right field fence for a grand slam and the 23rd home run of his career to extend his school-record. 

Ben Green led off the third with a solo-bomb, but in the bottom of the inning, Loras got two runs back, to cut the deficit to 8-2 after three inning of play. The Duhawks were at it again in the bottom of the fourth as they batted through the order and plated four runs on two hits, and took advantage on an error, as Loras trailed by just two (8-6) after the fourth stanza. Neither team did anything in the fifth, but in the bottom of the sixth, Joe Oglesby stepped to the plate with runners on first and second, and smacked a three-run home run to propel Loras to the 9-8 victory.
