DuBois Deals 2 Shutouts

The Penn State DuBois Baseball team hosted New Kensington last night at Showers Field for a conference double header.  Coach Calliari went with sophomore, Jake Allen to start on the mound for game one.  Allen gave DuBois a strong start as he allowed only 2 baserunners through 4 innings.  Allen would hit one batter, and another would single, but quickly thrown out by catcher, Daniel Stauffer.

DuBois bats started scoring in the bottom of the 2^nd, as they put up 3 runs after a Brandon Sicheri walk and a stolen base.  Josh Sorbera would get the RBI off of an error to score Sicheri.  Brett Beith and Toner Corl would both single to bring 2 more runs across the plate before the inning would end.

Another run would be added in the 4^th from a stolen base and a wild pitch as Thayne Morgan pinch ran for Stauffer after his double. 

Braden Blair would come in for an inning of relief in the 5^th inning, allowing 0 runs, 0 hits, and striking out 1.  Blaise Roush and Brandon Sicheri would come in for 1 inning each after Blair, and give up only 2 hits, allowing no runs to keep the shut out on the game.

DuBois would score a few more insurance runs in the 5^th before Beith got up in the 6^th and crushed his first collegiate home run.

DuBois would take game one, 7-0.  Morgan would have 3 stolen bases for the game as he moves into 2^nd place in the conference for stolen bases.  Beith, Corl, and Stauffer would all go 2 for 3 on the game.

Nolan Walters would get the nod to start the night game of the double header, and go through 3 innings of work with 4 strikeouts. 

Sophomore 3^rd baseman, Tyler Yough would get the scoring started in the 2^nd inning as he drove in pinch runner for Luke Salvo, Brandon Sicheri for the first run of the inning.  Beith would then double to score 2 more, Trevor Hanna would single for another RBI, and Cory Lehman would fly out to center to bring in the 5^th run of the inning.

DuBois would score 3 more runs in the 6^th inning after Corl would hit a 3 run shot to score Frankie Stefko and Morgan.

DuBois pitching staff would get some work in as Samuel Cheng, Morgan bell, Brandon Orsich, and Beith would all come in for 1 inning of work.  The staff would keep New Kensington scoreless in game two as well. 

Morgan would go 3 for 4 with a triple and a double, and Hanna would go 2 for 2 on the game.  Hanna and Corl are now tied with each other for most RBI's in the conference.

DuBois will be travelling to Greater Allegheny on Saturday for a double header, and return home on Sunday for the same series against Greater Allegheny starting at 1:00pm.  DuBois is now 14-2 overall, and 11-2 in the conference as they remain tied for first place in the PSUAC West Division.
