Colby Pacillo fired his first complete-game of the season, striking out eight, to lead the DeSales University baseball team past Wilkes University, 9-2, in the first game of a three-game set this weekend with the Colonels.
The Bulldogs scored in four of the first five innings to open up an 8-1 lead and never looked back from there. Moser had an RBI single in the first inning, a two-RBI double in the second inning, a two-run home run in the fourth inning, and a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning, knocking in six of DSU's first eight runs.
Pacillo was sharp all afternoon, working out of a bases loaded jam in the second inning only to retire 10 straight hitters to finish the second all the way thru the fifth inning as the Bulldogs built their lead. Pacillo walked just one, scattering eight hits over nine innings, allowing two runs, and striking out eight.
