Baseball Falls to Otterbein in Arizona Debut

TUCSON, Ariz. -- In the first game of the team's spring break trip in Arizona, the Allegheny College baseball team fell to Otterbein University, 14-7.

Although the Cardinals (4-1) scored early and often with runs in each of the first six frames, it seemed that things might favor the Gators (1-3) in the top of the first. Brady Nolin (Cumberland, Maine/Greely) and Chase Chodkowski (Buffalo, N.Y./West Seneca West) wasted no time before getting Allegheny on the scoreboard with consecutive base hits to lead off the contest. Chodkowski plated the first run of the night with an RBI double, the first of two extra-base hits for the senior shortstop.

Similar to Chodkowski's approach at the plate, there was no shortage of offense for the Otterbein batters, who totaled 17 hits, including a pair of home runs. The Gators used six arms to finish the nine-inning bout, with only Reid Passauer (Covington, La./Archbishop Hannan) and William DeCicco III (Fairview Park, Ohio/Padua Franciscan) escaping their appearances out of the bullpen unscathed.

Inside the Box Score
  • Otterbein scored 14 runs on 17 hits and committed five errors.
  • Allegheny produced seven runs on 11 hits with four errors in the field.
  • Chodkowski paced all AC batters with a trio of hits.
  • Nolin and Ryan Dougherty (Wexford, Pa./North Allegheny) each had two hits.
  • Nolin, Brenden Gray (Pittsburgh, Pa./South Park), and Grant Dowden (Ligonier, Pa./Ligonier Valley) each scored two runs.
  • Conor Deasy (Pittsburgh, Pa./Pittsburgh Central Catholic) only faced two batters in the first inning before being subbed out of the game and was handed a tough-luck loss on the mound.
  • Passauer and DeCicco combined for 2.1 scoreless innings in relief for Allegheny.
  • Eight of Otterbein's nine batters had hits, including seven multi-hit performances.
  • Starter Jackson Peloquin tossed 5.0 innings with two runs allowed for the win.

News and Notes
  • Allegheny fell to 1-3, while Otterbein improved to 4-1 overall.
  • Chodkowski has finished with three hits in three of the season's first four games.
  • Nolin extended his hit streak to four consecutive games to open the year.
  • Passauer, a southpaw, made his collegiate debut with 1.1 scoreless frames.
