Baseball blows past Muhlenberg, 15-3

ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Trailing 3-1 heading into the fifth, the Ursinus College baseball team scored five runs in the fifth and never looked back in a 15-3 win over Muhlenberg Friday afternoon at windy Cedar Creek Field.

The Bears (12-12-1, 3-7 Centennial) swept the season series from the Mules (11-13, 5-5 Centennial) and are now unbeaten in their last four.

Sophomore first baseman Rich Guthridge (Schwenksville, Pa/Spring-Ford) had two home runs on the day, including a grand slam in the sixth. He finished with seven RBI, as he added in a three-run bomb in the ninth.

Ursinus got on the board in the third as junior third baseman Rob Vogt (Basking Ridge, N.J./Seton Hill Prep) singled through the right side, scoring sophomore shortstop Brandon Sullivan (Gilbertsville, Pa./Boyertown).

The Bears broke the game open in the fifth, as Vogt had a two-run single to right center scoring Sullivan and sophomore second baseman Lou Argentine (). Senior right fielder Bret Umstead (Green Lane, Pa./Upper Perkiomen) would later score in the inning on a RBI groundout by senior left fielder Tommy Clarke (Whitehouse Station, N.J./Hunterdon).

The final run came across on a error that allowed senior designated hitter Mike Schwager (Bechtelsville, Pa./Boyertown) to score.

The Bears added two runs in the ninth as Umstead hit a home run to deep left center field, then saw Vogt score on a RBI single by sophomore center fielder Ben Gresh (Pottstown, Pa./Pottsgrove). Guthridge then hit a three-run home run with two outs.

That would be all senior pitcher Corey Weaver (West Grove, Pa./Avon Grove) would need. Weaver went the full nine, striking out six and allowing just two earned runs.

Guthridge, Umstead, Vogt and senior catcher Chris Fusco (Reading, Pa./Exeter Township) finished with three hits, while Clarke, Schwager and Gresh all had two hits in the win.

Ursinus hosts Washington in a Centennial Conference doubleheader starting at 12:30 p.m. Saturday.
