DAY TWO OF BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP SLOWED BY RAIN

Pitt-Greensburg eliminated Mount Aloysius from the AMCC baseball tournament, and La Roche manufactured a win over Penn St. Behrend, as two of three contests were completed in a rain delayed day.

The #4 seeded Bobcats defeated #3 Mounties, 8-2, in the first elimination game and will advance to face defending champions Behrend on Sunday at 9am.  The winner of that game will take on top seeded La Roche  in the championship at 12n.  with daylight fading, the Redhawks took a 3-1 decision from Behrend.

Pitt-Greensburg was fuelled by the bat of junior Chad Jacob, who set a new Bobcat single season hits record (57) with a 3-3 day at the plate.  La Roche junior Brian Tougher punched in the winning run for the Redhawks in a two run, seventh inning burst.  For the second day in a row a La Roche pitcher went the distance, this time with Tyler Ferguson getting the win.

The double elimination tournament will conclude on Sunday.  The AMCC champion will advance to the NCAA Division III tournament.
