The Penn State Baseball team travelled to PSU Mont Alto today for their second series of the 2021 campaign for an afternoon double header that proved to be an exciting outing for everyone in attendance.
Game one saw a battle between two of the best pitchers in the PSUAC that did not disappoint. DuBois would start senior Brandon Orsich while Mont Alto would counter with their ace, Matt Huston. Both would last 6 innings, and share a similar stat line, but Orsich would have help from his lineup as hot hitter Zane Morgan would keep up from where he left off at the end of last game when he sent a grand slam over the right field wall at Showers Field.
Morgan would go 2 for 3, have 2 RBI's, and score a run. It was third baseman Talon Falls that drove in the first run for DuBois though with an RBI double in the first to score Brandon Beith.
Brandon Sicheri would also add 2 RBI's for DuBois, and closer Dan Stauffer would come in for the 7th inning to secure the win in game 1, 8-4.
Game 2 would stay so close that they would need extra innings to finalize it. Braiden Blair, Morgan Bell, and Jacob Allen would all see action on the mound for DuBois. Tied at 2, each team would then score 1 run in the 8th to force the game to the 9th inning. Mont Alto would score on a walk from DuBois to win the game in 9.
Toner Corl scored 2 runs, and Cory Lehman went 2 for 3 with an RBI.
DuBois will be back in action at home when they host PSU Beaver on Wednesday at Showers Field at 6:00pm.
