Baseball Sees Split with Neumann Knights with Offensive Explosion in Game 1

ASTON, Pa. – Immaculata baseball earned a doubleheader split with the Neumann University Knights on Saturday, but the Mighty Macs won the weekend series 2-1. Game 1 was 16-1 Immaculata in seven innings. Neumann won Game 2 10-7.

The Mighty Macs are 10-15 for the season. They are 5-4 in conference play.

HOW IT HAPPENED AGAINST NEUMANN – GAME 1
  • The Mighty Macs got on the board right away with a Hunter Weitzel double that brought Matt Passerini home. Nick Turnage was hit-by-pitch with two outs, which loaded the bases. Luke Hardnock proceeded to send a missile to left-center field for an inside-the-park grand slam. In the second inning, again with two outs, Ryan Nace knocked in an RBI single. A Passerini sac-fly to score Robert Woodward increased the lead. Even though Neumann put a runner on third in the bottom of the third inning, Thomas DeSarno struck out the next batter swinging. Immaculata was up 7-0 after three.
  • The offensive showcase continued in the fourth inning with another batch of five runs. Two-run hits by Woodward and Danny Nocito did the most damage, and Hardnock added an RBI single. The Knights eliminated their drought with a score on a dropped fly ball. The fifth inning saw four more Immaculata runners round home plate on a Turnage RBI single and a Woodward three-run rocket to left-center field. Despite a three-up, three-down inning for the Mighty Macs' offense in the seventh, Neumann's deficit was too great. Immaculata claimed the series win in Game 2, 16-1.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS – GAME 1
  • Luther, Hardnock, and Woodward each had three runs and three hits.
  • Hardnock and Woodward tallied five RBIs apiece.
  • Four players earned a walk.
  • DeSarno took the pitching win in 5.1 innings, allowing five hits, one run, and striking out seven batters.
HOW IT HAPPENED AGAINST NEUMANN – GAME 2
  • Weitzel and Luther put the Mighty Macs in the early lead with RBI singles. A Neumann home run in the bottom of the first trimmed the Immaculata advantage in half. Immaculata countered in the second with Nocito and Weitzel RBI singles back-to-back. The two sides traded runs in the third, with Immaculata's coming on a Josh Goulburn sac-fly. The Knights pulled to within two, as Immaculata led 5-3 after three.
  • The Mighty Macs extended their advantage to four on Weitzel and Nace RBIs, the latter of which was a sac-fly. A bases-clearing Neumann double in the bottom of the fourth slimmed the score to 7-6. After a throwing error where a Neumann runner advanced to second, an RBI single on the next play tied the game. Frankie McCartney, who subbed in to pitch for the Mighty Macs, struck out the last batter of the sixth, even with bases loaded. It was 7-7 through six.
  • Both teams had runners on base in the seventh, but neither were able to convert. Although it was tied game in the bottom of the eighth, Neumann hit a three-run home run to claim the go-ahead lead. The Mighty Macs finished the inning, though, on a defensive double play. Despite Immaculata being down to their final three outs in the ninth inning, Neumann closed the afternoon with the 10-7 win. Immaculata split the afternoon and took the series win.
