LOCATION Depew Field
 
LEWISBURG, Pa. – The Purple Eagles were defeated by Bucknell, 14-1, on Friday.

Game Recap
  • The Bison struck early in the game, taking a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning after an RBI single, an RBI double and a score on a throwing error by Niagara's shortstop.
  • In the top of the second, Benny Serrano reached base after he was hit by a pitch. Serrano then stole second and advanced to third after a single up the middle from Max Giordano. Josh Marchese grounded into a double play, but Serrano was able to score, cutting Bucknell's lead to two, 3-1.
  • Niagara was in scoring position again in the top of the third, as Dawson Bailey and Matthew Grace were both walked, and then advanced to second and third, respectively, on a wild pitch. Bucknell, however, got the third out and NU was not able to capitalize.
  • The Bison were in control for the remainder of the game, limiting Niagara's opportunities. Bucknell added one run in the third and two in the fourth to extend its lead, 7-1. The Bison scored seven more runs over the last four innings to earn the 14-1 victory.

Eagle's Eye On…
  • Giordano recorded Niagara's lone hit of the day.
  • Matthew Brash (0-2) took the loss on the mound. He fanned nine, just two short of his career-high, and allowed five hits and four earned runs in 5.0 innings pitched. Brash leads the Niagara pitching staff in strikeouts with 27 in 16.0 innings pitched so far this season.

Up Next
  • The Purple Eagles will play two more games against the Bison; one on Saturday, March 2 and one on Sunday, March 3. Both games are slated to start at 1:00 p.m.
