Center Vallley, PA (April 18, 2018) - Senior
Andrew Schuler recorded his 200th career strikeout with eight strong innings and the DeSales University baseball team earned an important non-conference win, 2-1, over Swarthmore College in 10 innings on Wednesday afternoon.
Schuler becomes just the second player in team history, joining DeSales' Hall of FamerÂ
Brian Gillow, with 200 career strikeouts. He now has 205 career strikouts. He was outstanding on Wednesday earning a no-decision pitching eight strong innings allowing just four hits and one run, striking out 10.
After Swarthmore (22-8) took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fifth inning, DSU tied the game at one on an RBI single from sophomore
Sergio Diaz in the sixth inning.
The game remained tied at one entering the 10th when senior
Konner Schneider stranded two runners on in the top of the frame. Junior
Nick White led off with a single in the bottom half and freshman
Cody Mish singled to move White to third base with no one out. After a ground out and intentional walk, senior Randall Pacchioli hit a hard line drive to right field that plated White on a sacrifice fly scoring the game-winning run.
Schneider earned the win, his sixth of the year, with two scoreless innings striking out three. Senior
Conner Lafferty and junior
Charlie Barebo each had two hits in the win.
The Bulldogs are back in action tomorrow when they travel to FDU-Florham for a MAC Freedom game beginning at 3:30 pm.
