Baseball Suffers Setback at Waynesburg

WAYNESBURG, Pa. – The Allegheny baseball team was swept for the first time this season in Presidents Athletic Conference (PAC) play, falling at Waynesburg Saturday (April 20).
 
The opener featured a 5-2 finale before the Gators (19-9, 10-4 PAC) dropped the nightcap to the Yellow Jackets (20-13,13-4 PAC) 12-5.
 
 Game 1 - Waynesburg 5, Allegheny 2
 
Brent Herrmann (Canfield, Ohio/Canfield) pitched in another quality start while taking the hard-luck loss. The starter gave up the go-ahead run in the eighth inning on a solo homer, and the run support was not enough in the opener.
 
Allegheny found the scoreboard first in the second inning. After a leadoff walk from Brady Nolin (Cumberland, Maine/Greely), Jonathan Sharp (Chardon, Ohio/Notre Dame Cathedral Latin) laced an RBI infield single.
 
Fighting back, Waynesburg took the lead in the bottom of the frame. One run was unearned on a failed pick-off attempt. 
 
Allegheny tied the game at two in the third inning. Matt Jennings (Birmingham, Mich./Brother Rice) came home when JD Robinson (Round Hill, Va./Woodgrove) attempted to steal second base and the ball went to the bag. 
 
It was quiet the rest of the game for the Allegheny bats. Three more runs came in to score for Waynesburg in the eighth inning, and the Gators had no response. 
 
Game 2 - Waynesburg 12, Allegheny 5
 
It was back and forth early in the game, with Allegheny jumping ahead first, then falling behind before retaking the lead. They scored three runs and led by one before the Yellow Jackets ultimately took the lead.
 
The difference came during the third inning. The Yellow Jackets struck for eight runs on seven hits, busting the game open with all the momentum. They sent 13 men to the plate and the Gators hoisted three arms on the mound during the frame. 
 
Waynesburg added a couple of more runs before Robinson hit his third home run of the year over the left field wall in the eighth inning. Tyson Bryant-Dawson (Oakland, Calif./Manvel (Texas)), finalized the scoring in the ninth, but it was not enough to overcome Waynesburg's lead.
 
Inside the Game One Box Score
  • Each team had eight hits and committed one error in the field. 
  • Jennings, Sharp and Alejandro Samayoa (Katonah, New York/John Jay Cross River) each had a pair of base hits. 
  • Sharp had the only RBI.
  • Herrmann threw in 7.1 innings, giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits with four walks and three K's.
Inside the Game Two Box Score
  • Allegheny was out hit 13-9 in the last game.
  • The Gators committed five errors in the field, leading to four unearned runs.
  • Robinson and Grant Dowden (Ligonier, Pa./Ligonier Valley) led the way with two hits apiece. Dowden had as many RBIs.
  • Mark Schweickert (Glen Allen, Va./John Randolph Tucker) had a short day at the office as the starter. The right-hander allowed eight runs (six earned) on six hits with four walks and one strikeout. 
News and Notes
  • Jennings extended his hit streak to 21 games after recording base hits in both contests. It's the longest hitting streak since Ben Kosbie had a 17 game streak in 2022.
  • Despite the losses, Allegheny finished the week above .500, winning all their weekday contests.
  • Local product Dawson Thomas (Conneaut, Pa./Conneaut) saw action on the mound, pitching 1.2 scoreless innings.
  • The Gators' seven-game win streak was snapped with the losses today.
 
Up Next
The Gators will continue their road stint against Thiel on Tuesday for another conference doubleheader. The first pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m. as Allegheny looks to rebound back in the win column.
