Baseball wraps up week in Florida

Waynesburg splits seven-inning DH with Mount Union

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (March 6) – The Waynesburg University baseball team ended its week-long stay at the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational on Friday by playing two against the University Mount Union. The Yellow Jackets came back to win game one 6-3, but were defeated 18-5 in the late contest.
 
Senior Mason Miller (Bethel Park, Pa. / Bethel Park) improved to 2-0 on the season after pitching the Jackets (2-8) to the win. He racked up 13 strikeouts over a seven-inning complete game effort. He allowed just four hits and walked five while giving up a pair of earned runs.
 
Mount Union (2-2) opened up the scoring with a run in the top of the first inning, but the lead was short lived, as Waynesburg fired back with a run in the bottom of the frame. The Purple Raiders regained the lead in the top of the third with a pair of scores. The Jackets knotted the score back up at 3-3 with tallies in the fourth and fifth innings.
 
The game was decided in the sixth, when the Orange and Black posted a three spot, giving Miller the support he needed on the mound.
 
Senior Justin Buberl (Westminster, Md. / Westminster) went two-for-three with a triple and a game-high three RBI in the win. Senior Vinny Monico (Girard, Pa. / Girard) posted a two-for-four effort with three runs scored.
 
The Jackets scored first in the late contest with a run in the top of the first. Unfortunately, Mount Union's bats exploded for nine runs in the bottom of the first, giving it a lead it wouldn't relinquish for the remainder of the last contest.
 
Waynesburg tried to mount a miraculous comeback in the top of the seventh. Trailing 18-1, the Jackets put up four runs in the top of the frame. That was as far as the rally made it, before the Raiders put away their most recent triumph.
 
Buberl put up his second two-hit game of the twin-bill, going two-for-four with an RBI and a run scored.
 
Sophomore Seth McCroskey (Morgantown, W.Va. / Trinity Christian) started and took the loss on the mound after working two-thirds of an inning. Freshman Trevor Hayes (Dawson, Pa. / Frazier) provided some positive results on the hill by not allowing a run over the final two innings of the contest. He yielded two hits and didn't walk a batter, while striking out two.
 
The Jackets are off until Monday, March 16, when they host Franciscan at 4 p.m.
