Purple Eagles Drop A Pair To Close Out Penn State Series

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – The Niagara baseball team dropped both games in a doubleheader with Penn State on Saturday.

"We played decent in the first game," said Purple Eagles head coach Rob McCoy. "A play here or there and the outcome could have been different. The second game was a disaster. I've said all year that we will go as our pitching goes and we pitched poorly in the second game. It's time for some guys to start stepping up and pitching with aggressive confidence. It's a process, but we'll get there."

Game 1: Niagara 1, Penn State 4

Niagara's (3-17) lone run of the game came in the top of the first inning. With Greg Cullen already on base, Taylor Hackett singled to right field to score Cullen.

Hackett went 3-for-5 at the plate and had one RBI. In the field, Christian Vangeison led the Purple Eagles with 10 putouts and Geoff Seto had a team-high four assists. On the mound, Zachary Kolodziejski (0-2) pitched 5.0 innings and took the loss.

Game 2: Niagara 4, Penn State 16

Penn State (7-10) got off to a quick start offensively and were ahead of the Purple Eagles, 11-0, going into the top of the fourth inning. With Michael Fuhrman and Hackett already on base, Tanner Kirwer singled to left field to score Fuhrman for Niagara's first run of the game. Vangeison sent Hackett home with a single up the middle. Dienston Manuela was reached on a fielder's choice, scoring Kirwer. Vangeison scored the final run for Niagara after Nick Bernick was reached on a fielder's choice.

Vangeison went 2-for-3 at the plate and had one RBI. Kirwer, Manuela and Bernick also had one RBI each. In the field, Kirwer led Niagara with five putouts. Daniel Procopio (0-3) faced nine batters in 0.2 innings pitched and took the loss.

The Purple Eagles are back in action on Tuesday, March 22 in a doubleheader at Little 3 rival St. Bonaventure.
