Bobcats Senior Pitcher Records Most Strikeouts Since 2014 in Win Over Top 20 Opponent
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – After battling the weather all afternoon, the Quinnipiac baseball team finally took the field and played one of its best games in recent memory as the Bobcats defeated the No. 20 Wake Forest Demon Deacons, 8-6.
The Bobcats victory over the Demon Deacons was its first over a nationally ranked opponent since defeating Virginia, 13-11, on March 8, 2004.
Tyler Poulin (Randolph, New Jersey) was stellar on the mound as he struck out 12 batters the 6.1 innings to earn his first victory of the 2019 season. Poulin's 12 strikeouts are the most by a MAAC pitcher so far this season.
The Bobcats scored early and often against the Demon Deacons as seven runs crossed the plate through the first three innings as Quinnipiac took a 7-3 lead. Quinnipiac chased Wake Forest starting pitcher Morgan McSweeney after just .2 innings as he allowed four runs on six hits.
Five different Bobcats recorded two-hit games while Kevin Huscher (Middleboro, Massachusetts) and Kyle Maves (Burlington, Ontario) led the team with two RBIs in the win. Liam Scafariello (Southington, Connecticut) scored two runs in the winning effort.
