Stossel Records 100th RBI in Baseball’s Home Opener Against Stevenson

ANNVILLE, Pa. ­­– Shane Stossel picked up his 100th career RBI with a solo home run in the second inning, as the Lebanon Valley College baseball team dropped a high-scoring 18-16 contest against Stevenson University on Wednesday, March 13 in its home opener at McGill Field. The game was called after the eighth inning due to darkness.

The Mustangs opened the scoring with an RBI single in the top of the first inning, but the Dutchmen answered right back to take a 5-1 lead in the bottom of the opening frame. The club went ahead after Jace Fetterman walked with the bases loaded to plate Ethan O'Loughlin, and Ryan Murphy was hit by a pitch to score Logan Brewer. This was followed by Luke Pollock hitting a sacrifice fly into foul territory down the right-field line, driving in Stossel. LVC capped off the scoring with Kenny Palmieri hitting a grounder to shortstop and reaching on an error, allowing Murphy and Fetterman to cross the plate.

Lebanon Valley added a run in the bottom of the second inning, extending their advantage to 6-1 on Stossel's solo blast. The program tacked on another in the third, making it a 7-1 ballgame after Brewer hit a sacrifice fly to right field to score Palmieri. Stevenson responded with a five-run inning in the top of the fourth, trimming its deficit to 7-6. The Flying Dutchmen got a run back in the bottom half of the frame, taking an 8-6 lead on a solo home run by Fetterman. The Mustangs countered with two runs in the top of the fifth inning, tying the contest at 8-8.

The Dutchmen responded by putting up five runs in the bottom of the fifth, claiming a 13-8 advantage. The club went up by two after Murphy lined a two-run single through the left side, plating Stossel and O'Loughlin. Later in the frame, Palmieri drove a three-run triple off the wall in left-center field, scoring Duncan Weir, Murphy, and Fetterman. Stevenson then scored seven runs in the top of the sixth inning, taking a 15-13 lead.

Lebanon Valley continued to answer, crossing the plate twice in the bottom of the sixth to even the contest at 15-15. Ryan Petrucci drew a walk with the bases loaded, scoring Pete Botbyl. Murphy then tied the game with a sacrifice fly to center field, bringing home O'Loughlin. The Mustangs countered with a couple of runs in the top of the seventh, going ahead 17-15 on a double and a single. 

Stevenson tacked on another in the top of the eighth, but the Dutchmen got this run back in the bottom half to advance the score to 18-16. O'Loughlin led off the frame with a single through the right side and later moved to second base on a wild pitch. With one out in the inning, pinch-hitter Eric Sees lined an RBI single into right field to drive in O'Loughlin. This would stand as the final score, as the game was called at the end of the eighth due to darkness.
