Baseball Falls to St. John Fisher in Saturday Showdown

AUBURNDALE, Fla. -- The Allegheny College baseball team suffered a 6-1 defeat against St. John Fisher University on Saturday afternoon at the Lake Myrtle Sports Complex in Auburndale, Florida.

The Gator (2-2) lineup outhit the Cardinals (3-1), but Fisher made the most of its four hits to secure the win. The Cardinals took the lead with a solo home run in the bottom of the first. In the fifth, they walked the bases loaded with two outs and cleared them with a double.

In the top of the fifth, junior catcher Tyler Skaggs (Champion Heights, Ohio/Champion) and freshman utility man Zach Miner (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) smacked back-to-back doubles, but the former was gunned down at the plate trying to score Allegheny's first run of the game. Skaggs doubled again in the seventh, this time plating Johnny Hughes (Cheswick, Pa./Springdale) for the team's lone run.

Inside the Box Score
  • Allegheny finished with five hits, including three doubles.
  • St. John Fisher only had four hits, but took advantage of 10 free passes.
  • Skaggs was 2-for-3 with two doubles and one RBI.
  • Nick Banez (Edmonds, Wash./Meadowdale), Liam Irving (Olney, Md./Sherwood), and Miner each had one hit.
  • Miner also pitched 2.1 scoreless innings with one strikeout in relief.
  • Junior righty Ben Shields (Charleroi, Pa./Charleroi Area) received the loss after giving up three runs on one hit, five walks, and four strikeouts in 4.2 innings.
  • Robert Leach earned the victory on the mound with 5.0 scoreless innings for the Cardinals.
  • Fisher's Jordan Perry paced all batters with a game-high three RBIs.
