by Tony Viola
Collegian Staff Writer
The Men's Baseball team was
rained out of two doubleheaders
this past weekend, which wasn't a
surprise to anyone since the
weather was gloomy.
Bchrend traveled to Cleveland
to play John Carroll University
before finding out that their game
would be postponed last
Saturday. The games will be
made up April 13 at home
starting at 1 pm.
The Lion's home doubleheader
scheduled against Allegheny
College on Sunday was also
postponed due to poor weather
conditions. The home twinbill
with the Gators has been
rescheduled for April 12 at at 3
pm.
The only games the Lions
played this past week was the
two-game set against Washington
& Jefferson College last
Wednesday.
In the opening game, Darin
Wotus pitched a shutout for the
Lions to pick up his first win of
the year by a score of 1-0. Wotus

seven hits, including three
doubles. Scott Fleshman hit two

run after drawing a walk in the
third inning.
Ray Cerqua cracked two hits,
one a double in the third inning
which knocked in the game

Eight runs were scored for
Washington & Jefferson in the
second inning, while taking an
early 11-1 lead after two innings.
Behrend scored four runs in the
bottom of he third inning to
make it an 11-3 ball game, but it
would never get closer.
Cerqua took the loss, his
second as a starter. Cerqua lasted
for only one inning and was
committing four miscues.
Senior Erika Renwick pitched
a three-hitter and gave up only
one earned run for Behrend. She
yielded only one walk and whiffed
five batters.
At the plate Erica Scribner,
Melanie Dunn, and Michelle
Hoover each collected two hits.
In game two, Behrend canned
a 12-8 victory. Hoover pitched a
complete game in her first
collegiate start, also nabbing her
first collegiate win.
