Pios Split with Penn Tech

The Alfred State College baseball team split a non-league doubleheader at Penn Tech in Williamsport on Sunday afternoon.  The Blue and Gold fell 3-2 in the opener and won the nightcap 3-1.  ASC is now 3-1 on the year.

Penn Tech plated three runs in the 1^st inning and held the Pioneers off the scoreboard until the 6^th inning.  ASC cut it to 3-1 on a RBI single by Kevin Underhill (Somers) that scored Derek Speaker (Starpoint).  Adalberto Vargas (Norman Thomas) connected on a solo homer in the 7^th inning but the Pioneers couldn't draw any closer.  Vargas finished 2 for 3 on the day.

Aarol Elliott (Whitesville) allowed just three hits and two earned runs in six innings of work but took the loss.

Andrew Foster (Clarkson, ONT.) tossed a complete game four-hitter to win his collegiate pitching debut.  He walked just two while striking out seven.

Speaker drove home runs in the 3^rd and 7^th innings to pace the offense.  Ruben Angeles (George Washington) drove home the first run of the game in the 2^nd inning.

The Pioneers return to action on Saturday when they travel to Niagara CCC for a 1 p.m. WNYAC doubleheader with the Trailblazers.
