Smoot Single in 10th Wins it for Bulldogs, 7-6 over Misericordia

Center Valley, PA (April 29, 2015) – Sophomore Jesse Smoot hit a single up the middle with the bases loaded and no one out in the bottom of the 10th inning lifting the DeSales University baseball team past Misericordia University, 7-6, in the final Freedom Conference game of the season for the Bulldogs on Wednesday evening at Butz Field.
 
DSU finishes the Freedom Conference regular season with a 19-2 mark and is 25-13 overall with two games left in the regular season on Saturday at NCAA Division I Lehigh University.  Misericordia falls to 24-10 overall and 13-6 in the Freedom with a doubleheader at FDU-Florham on Saturday still left on its schedule.
 
With the #1 seed already clinched DSU saw nine pitchers see action as each guy was assigned an inning before the game.  Junior Evan Fraser earned the win as he was extended to two innings when the Cougars tied the game at six with two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning.  Fraser was awarded the win pitching a scoreless top of the 10th inning.
 
The Bulldogs jumped out early scoring four times in the third inning to take a 4-0 lead.  Senior Drew Borger knocked in the first run with a single to second base in which the ball took a bad hop off the second baseman's shoulder allowing Borger to cruise into first base safely knocking in freshman Konner Schneider.
 
Sophomore Mike Kacergis followed with a two-run triple and scored one batter later on a base hit to right field by junior Colby Kulig.
 
It remained a 4-0 game into the sixth inning when MU got one run back but DSU made it 6-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning on a sacrifice fly from freshman Conner Lafferty and an RBI triple from sophomore Tyler Sweeney plating sophomore Jesse Smoot.
 
Misericordia refused to go away scoring once in the seventh, twice in the eighth, and down to its last strike in the ninth got an RBI single from Mike Comerford to tie the game at six.
 
DSU went quietly in the bottom of the ninth as Fraser set down the side in the top of the 10th.  In the bottom of the 10th Kacergis opened the inning with a single up the middle.  Kulig was hit by a pitch trying to bunt Kacergis to second and Lafferty laced the first pitch he saw into centerfield loading the bases for Smoot who bounced a ball up the middle on drawn in infield to score Kacergis with the winning run.
 
Kulig led DSU's 12-hit attack with three hits, while Kacergis, Smoot, and Sweeney each had two hits.  DSU totaled four triples in the win by sophomore Tommy DePaul, Kacergis, Kulig, and Sweeney.
 
Game time for the doubleheader at Lehigh on Saturday will be Noon.
