Thunderstruck: Baseball Leaves Florida With Sweep of Trine

Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

LEESBURG, Fla. – The Ursinus College baseball team capped a successful southern spring swing with a sweep of Trine on Friday, giving the Bears eight wins in ten games on their trip to Florida.

Ursinus (8-4) used a six-run fourth to run away with a 10-3 rout in Game One and survived a late rally by the Thunder (3-5) for a 7-6 decision in the second session.

The Bears brought the lumber to Lake Sumter College, racking up a home run, two triples, and a double among 12 hits in the opener. Junior Greg Petorak was 2-for-2 with his second round-tripper of the season, scoring twice and bringing in two more. Classmate Alex Campbell (2-for-2, RBI) tripled, and senior Christopher Jablonski ripped a two-run double, the 40th of his career.

Trailing 2-1 entering the fourth, Ursinus batted around and turned the tide with a six-run explosion. Campbell and junior Kieran Geyer produced consecutive run-scoring hits, fellow junior Jay Farrell had one later in the frame, and Jablonski closed the spurt with his big two-bagger.

Petorak's two-run shot came one inning later, putting the Bears up 9-2.

Geyer and Farrell both had two RBIs in the game for Ursinus, and junior CJ Diana finished 2-for-4 with a run.

Senior Sean Pisik (2-0) was stellar on the mound, striking out a career-high 10 in his first complete game of the season. He allowed six hits and only one earned run; Pisik posted three 1-2-3 frames, including the seventh, where he struck out the side to end the contest.

Though Game Two was a much tighter affair, it was another big fourth inning that elevated Ursinus. Again trailing 2-1 entering the frame, the Bears plated five runs on five hits as six straight reached base. That stretch began with an RBI single from Geyer, which was succeeded by singles from junior Jose Colon and Farrell, who scored Geyer with his.

After an intentional walk to Jablonski, Diana drew a walk with the sacks packed to force home another, and junior Austin Feuerman came up with a two-run single to cap the outburst.

Farrell's RBI single in the sixth answered a two-run fifth for the Thunder, who made things interesting in their last at-bat. Down to its last out, three consecutive singles plated two runs and put the tying run on second, but freshman Mark LeDuc got out of the jam with a grounder to short to nail down his second save of the week.

Colon finished a homer short of the cycle for the Bears, going 3-for-4 and scoring twice, while Farrell was 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI. Geyer went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI, and freshman Carter Usowski scored two runs.

After fanning 10 in a 6-4 victory over Wentworth earlier in the week, junior left-hander Seth Regensburg did himself one better, whiffing a career-best 11 in six strong innings. Regensburg (2-1) surrendered six hits and walked two, allowing four earned runs.

Winners of five of its last six, the baseball team will make the return trip north to Collegeville before heading to New York University for a single contest on Friday, March 18.
