On the Road Again
The Quinnipiac baseball team continues its current 15-game road trip with a three-game series in Loudonville, New York where the Bobcats will face the Siena Saints in a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at 1 PM followed by a single game at 2 PM on Sunday.
All-Time Against Siena
Quinnipiac holds a 3-8 record against Siena in their 11 all-time meetings, with the last seven coming in the past two seasons of MAAC play. Last season, the Bobcats won the season series against the Saints which was played in Hartford due to the weather. The Saints; however, got the best of the Bobcats in the MAAC Tournament where they won 6-5 in a 10-inning game.
Scouting the Saints
Siena comes into the weekend with a 7-19 record and 3-3 mark in MAAC play. Siena opened the season with an 11-game losing streak but have played .500 baseball since then. Siena last played a non-conference game with Fairleigh Dickinson on Apr. 6 where they lost, 10-6. Jordan Bishop leads the Saints with a .333 batting average this season and 18 runs scored while his 32 hits are tied for the most on the team. Coming off his rookie of the year award, Joe Drpich is having an incredible season already where he has compiled a .320 batting average on 32 hits, 15 of which have gone for extra bases. Drpich has 10 doubles, one triple, four home runs, 24 RBIs and 14 runs scored. Tommy Miller will start game one for the Saints as he comes into the game with a 1-5 record and a 5.28 ERA. As a staff, the Saints have a 7.82 ERA and opponents are batting .341 against them.
Last Time Out
The Bobcats won a huge mid-week game over the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils, 9-5, in New Britain, Connecticut. Brian Moskey hit his first career home run and drove in five RBIs to lead the Bobcats. Brandon Shileikis pitched beautifully over the first five innings with just four hits allowed.
Career Day
Brian Moskey led the Bobcats offensive attack with a breakout game. Not only did he launch his first career home run but also drove in five RBIs. Moskey's home run was a three-run shot that put the Bobcats up 6-0. He also doubled in the win.
Teeing It Up
Rob Pescitelli's bat came alive in the victory as he tied for the team lead with three hits. Pescitelli hit a first inning home run to set the tone early, and he also scored two runs and drove in two RBIs. Pescitelli continues to be a force at the plate for the Bobcats.
Matty Bats
Matthew Batten recorded his fifth three-hit game of the season as he went 3 for 5 at the dish, ripping his fifth double of the season and scoring a run. Batten has anchored the lead off spot well for the Bobcats this season.
Julius Caesar
Julius Saporito picked up another two hit game for the Bobcats as he pulled a pair of singles. Saporito now has two two-hit games this season for Quinnipiac.
Burnin' Up
Joseph Burns also had a solid day at the plate for the Bobcats as he reached base three times. Burns went 2 for 4 with two stolen bases, a walk and a run scored and a RBI. The Bobcats new third baseman has been enjoying a fairly successful start to his Quinnipiac career.
Wizard of Oz
Matthew Oestreicher also picked up a pair of hits for the Bobcats, including his first triple of the season. Oestreicher now has a triple and a home run on the season, and also came around to score another run.
The Iron Shiek
Brandon Shileikis' start was his first in nearly two years after missing the 2015 season. Shileikis pitched five shutout innings to lead the Bobcats, allowing just four hits and striking out a pair of batters. Shileikis' last start had been on May 4, 2014. Shileikis lowered his season ERA to 0.84 with his first win.
Closing the Door
Robert Hitt has done well for the Bobcats in the closer role this season, already picking up his second save of the season with 1 2/3 innings pitched. Hitt struck out two batters, both in the ninth inning to earn the save.
Strike 'em Out
Thomas Jankins will take the hill for the Bobcats in the opening game of the series on Saturday after pitching just 2/3 of an inning in his last start due to a rain delay. Jankins currently is 2-3 with a 3.75 ERA and one complete game. He leads the team with 37 strikeouts in 35 1/3 innings this season. Prior to his start getting cut short, Jankins has recorded five or more strikeouts in every start, including four straight of seven or more.
Mr. Consistent
Taylor Luciani has been one of the Bobcats best starters as well, going 2-3 with a 3.69 ERA in six starts. Luciani has pitched 39 innings, recording 19 strikeouts. He has pitched at least six innings in every start this season.
Changing Roles
Alex Vargas is slated to make his first start of the season for the Bobcats after making 10 appearances with four saves. He has a 2.31 ERA with just three runs allowed in 11 2/3 innings. Vargas also has struck out 10 batters, good for fifth on the team.
In the Hole
The Bobcats will wrap up their road trip next week when they travel to Hartford on Tuesday, Apr. 12 at 3 PM before shipping up to Boston to take on the Northeastern Huskies on Wednesday, Apr. 13 at 3 PM.
