Baseball comes up short at Lafayette

EASTON, Pa. — The Holy Cross baseball team fell in both ends of a Patriot League doubleheader at Lafayette on Saturday, April 20. 

GAME ONE
Lafayette 3, Holy Cross 0 

STATS LEADERS: 
Holy Cross
Baillargeon (2-for-3, hit by pitch)
Toomey (1-for-3, walk, stolen base)

Lafayette
Skapinetz (W, 6.1 IP, no runs, three hits, five strikeouts)
Swidler (2-for-2, RBI, run scored)
Mallas (double)

THE DECISION:
W: Skapinetz (2-6) 
L: A. Bryant (3-2) 
S: Pence (1)

HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • In the first inning, a wild pitch on a strikeout allowed a Lafayette runner to score from second and give the Leopards an early lead. 
  • The Leopards had an RBI single in the fourth to build a 2-0 lead. 
  • In total, Holy Cross stranded 10 baserunners on the day; the Crusaders had a bases-loaded opportunity in the fifth inning but were unable to convert.
  • Lafayette's lead grew to 3-0 with another RBI single in the bottom of the fifth. 
  • In the top of the seventh, Holy Cross put a pair of runners on with just one out, but the Leopards drew back-to-back strikeouts to preserve the shutout win.

  • An RBI groundout brought Holy Cross within 5-3 in the fifth. 
  • A fielder's choice and a wild pitch helped the Crusaders score a pair of runs in the sixth and knot up the score at 5-5. 
  • Lafayette again took the lead back quickly, with a pair of home runs in the bottom of the sixth to make it an 8-5 game. An RBI double and two-run homer extended the lead to 11-5 by the eighth inning. 
  • Freshman left fielder John LaFleur hit a solo home run in the top of the ninth.
