[Baseball] Mechanic Bats Wake Up in Win over Penn State Hazelton

After scoring just three runs through their first four games, the Williamson baseball team finally got things going on the offensive end, as they used two home runs and a seven run fifth inning to down host Penn State Hazelton and take both ends of their Saturday doubleheader.  Williamson won the opener, 1-0, behind a one-hit shutout by Jon Polillo (SR/Prospect Park, PA).

Leading 3-1 heading into the fifth inning, Williamson broke things open with seven runs to go up 10-1.  The big damage done in the inning was a grand slam home run by freshman first baseman Marcus Williams (FR/Linwood, PA).   Williams went 2-5 with four runs batted in, and also added a stolen base.  C.J. Cardell (SR/Norwood, PA) went 2-3 and scored three runs, while Bryan Archambo (JR/Newtown Square) blasted a solo homerun.

As far as pitching goes, freshman Sean Standen (FR/Broomall. PA) got his first collegiate victory, going 5 1/3 innings, allowing just two hits and three earned runs, while striking out five.   Joe Lucchesi (FR/Newtown Square, PA) pitched the rest of the way, allowing two hits and just one unearned run.

Williamson improves to 3-2 with the win.  The next take on Valley Forge Military College on Thursday afternoon at 3:30 P.M.
