Baseball Sets Records; Sweep Away Altoona

ALTOONA, PA—It was a record-setting day for the Pitt-Greensburg baseball team as they not only swept Penn State Altoona on their home field but also hit seven home runs combined, six in game two, a team record. Tommy Smith belted four between the two games while setting the single-game record for RBI (8) and home runs (3). The Bobcats outscored Altoona 24-7, winning game one 9-1 and game two 15-6.
 
Game One:
 
Death, Taxes, and Conner Burkey's complete-game win are the only things guaranteed in life this spring. Burkey earned his AMCC-leading sixth win and sixth complete game of the season. He struck out five batters while giving up just one earned run over seven innings with five Altoona hits.
 
Smith fancied the right-field fence over the two games, as the first of his four home runs on the day came down the right-field line. He had four of his 12 RBIs in game one. Not to be outdone, Diego Santos and Ben Aftanas also had a multi-hit game in game one.
 
Every player in the Bobcats lineup reached base, with seven driving in runs and scoring runs.
 
Game Two
 
All bets were off in game two, as the Bobcats belted six home runs, five of which came in the first three innings. Smith hit three, all to right field, while also recording a double to right center.
 
James Domer, Hunter Gideons, and Santos also sent balls over the fence as the Bobcats scored a season-high 15 runs.
 
Senior Steven Muratore pitched 5.2 innings to earn his first win of the season. Sophomore Nicholas Laubach started the game and went two innings, while freshman Jacob Staraniec pitched the final 1.1 innings.
 
Up Next
If you have tomorrow off, make a trip to Bobcat Park. The Alfred State Pioneers are traveling to Greensburg to play the Bobcats on an AMCC Doubleheader. The teams have combined ten AMCC wins, with the Bobcats currently at 6-2 and in second place and the Pioneers at 4-2 and in fourth place. The first pitch will take place at 1 P.M. in Greensburg.
