How It Happened
READING, Pa. – Lebanon Valley's baseball team suffered two close losses to No. 18 Alvernia on Saturday afternoon. The Dutchmen dropped a 1-0 contest to the Crusaders before falling 5-0 in the nightcap. LVC now sits at 10-8, 4-4 MAC Commonwealth, while Alvernia is now 16-2-1, 7-1 MAC Commonwealth.

The first game of the afternoon was the definition of a pitcher's duel with Casey Wall and John Catchmark dueling it out on the mound, pitch for pitch. The Dutchmen actually had a decent chance to score in the top of the first after Michael Puglisi walked and Chris DeClerico singled to shortstop, but LVC was unable to cash in.

The only run of the game came in the bottom of the fifth when Francis began the inning with a single, followed by a sacrifice bunt from Boyle. After Sides grounded out to advance Francis to third, Cirilli laid down a good bunt that allowed Francis to score for the contest's lone run.

Inside the Numbers (Game One)
 - Wall was impressive but was just slightly outdueled by Catchmark. Wall tossed six innings and scattered eight hits while striking out three.
 - Catchmark went the distance and struck out 10 while giving up three hits.
 - Zac Edwards, DeClerico, and Marshall Kiessling each recorded a hit for the Dutchmen.
 - For the Crusaders, Briner went 2-for-3.

No. 18 Alvernia 5, LVC 0 (Game Two)

LVC Starters
Edwards (2B), Puglisi (CF), DeClerico (SS), Kiessling (LF), Marcelli (1B), O'Shea (DH), Albright (C), Weik (3B), Harned (RF), Liebel (SP)

Alvernia Starters
Sides (SS), Cirilli (2B), Dubas (RF), Coons (1B), Dunne (3B), Shaffer (DH), Salesky (C), Esposito (LF), Iacobelli (CF), Malik (SP)

How It Happened
LVC's offense was stymied again the game two, this time by Malik. Dubas opened up the scoring in the bottom of the first with a two-run homerun, and Alvernia extended its lead to 3-0 when Esposito hit a sacrifice fly. Then, in the third, Cameron Coons singled home Cirilli, and in the bottom of the fifth, Cirilli hit a sac-fly to plate Iacobelli for the 5-0 advantage that the Crusaders never relinquished.

Inside the Numbers (Game Two)
 - Puglisi registered a double, while Edwards, Chase Weik and Jonathan Harned each singled in the contest.
 - Starting pitcher Tregg Liebel went three innings and allowed four earned, while Corey Sell relieved Liebel for the final three innings and allowed just one earned run and two hits.

Who's Next?
The regular season series between LVC and Alvernia finishes up tomorrow in Annville at 12:30 p.m.
