Purdue Takes Both Games Saturday

HOLLY SPRINGS, N.C. — The Niagara baseball team dropped both ends of a doubleheader to Purdue on Saturday at Ting Stadium, falling 16-4 in the opener before being shut out 9-0 in the nightcap.
 
How it Happened
In game one, the Purple Eagles (0-5) showed offensive life with 10 hits but couldn't keep pace with Purdue's explosive attack. Curtis McKay went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored, while Vincent Mauro and Jacob Brooks each added two hits. Camden Sanders provided a spark off the bench with his first home run of the season.
 
Starting pitcher Evan Wilde (0-1) took the loss in the opener, allowing four runs on eight hits over three innings. The Purple Eagles' bullpen struggled to contain Purdue's offense, which broke the game open with an eight-run fifth inning.
 
In the second game, Niagara (0-6) was limited to just three hits against Purdue's pitching combination of Easton Storey and Gavin Beuter. McKay continued his strong day with a double, his third of the season, while Elijha Hammill and Brooks collected the other hits.
 
Matthew DelVecchio (0-2) kept the Purple Eagles in the nightcap early, allowing three runs over 4.2 innings while striking out two. However, Purdue pulled away late, scoring five runs in the eighth inning to secure the sweep.
