IMMACULATA, Pa. - The Immaculata University baseball team powered its way past Clarks Summit to the tune of 31 runs and 32 hits in Saturday's Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) doubleheader sweep by finals of 23-1 and 8-0. The seniors made the most of their Senior Day, as Justin Dempsey was 5-for-10 with a double, four runs and three runs driven in between the two games and Pat Devenney drove in five over the course of a three-hit game one.

Senior Ryan Joyce scattered two hits over four and two-thirds innings without allowing an earned run to pick up his first win of the season and senior Trevor O'Brien struck out one in relief during his first appearance on the year.

GAME ONE
HOW IT HAPPENED
-The Macs came out of the gates in a big way, striking for 11 runs on seven hits to open the doubleheader. Tyler Kmiec and Justin Dempsey got it started with run-scoring singles before Richard Fontanillas and Cameron Delisle produced RBI doubles. Following a bases-loaded walk to Greg Grandelli, Pat Devenney lined a two-single back through the middle for the sixth and seventh runs of the frame. Kmiec then came up for the second time of the inning and blasted a three-run home run to left, his fifth of the season.
-Devenney picked up his third RBI of the day with an infield hit in the second before the Macs tacked on three more in the third, thanks to Fontanillas' second RBI double and Blesi's run-scoring knock to center.
-Domenic Dellabarba delivered a pinch-hit, RBI single to left in the fourth, and later came around to score on a two-run single to right off the bat of Devenney.
-Ivan Perez III came off the bench to produce a ringing RBI double to left-center to cap off the six-run fourth.
-The Macs added single runs in the fifth and sixth, as Collin Stringham lined a single through the right side to score Brad Misialek and Dempsey drove in his third run of game one with a double deep into the left-center gap.
