Garcia and Seitter Shine in Starts Can't Capitalize Friday
LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. – The Quinnipiac baseball team dropped a doubleheader Friday afternoon at Rider as the Broncs took game one, 2-1, and game two, 8-5, in MAAC Baseball action.
Evan Vulgamore (Bow, New Hampshire) extended his hitting streak to 10 games with an RBI single in game one and RBI double in game two to lead the Bobcats.
Colton Bender (Lebanon, Connecticut) had a two-hit game in game one while Dylan Lutz (Denver, Colorado) and Michael Kohn (Rockville, Maryland) each had two-hit games in game two.
Brandyn Garcia (Granby, Connecticut) took a hard-luck loss in game one as he allowed just two runs on two hits with four strikeouts over the six inning, complete game effort.
The Bobcats trailed 2-0 in that game heading into the top of the seventh inning before Vulgamore drove home Bender with an RBI single but the Bobcats couldn't get any more across as one runner was thrown out at home trying to tie the game later in the inning.
Kevin Seitter (Ridgewood, New Jersey) was masterful in four innings of work in the start, striking out six batters over four scoreless innings as the Bobcats staked him out to a 5-0 lead.
Quinnipiac couldn't hold on to the lead as Rider scored eight runs in the sixth inning before Colin Donnelly (Flemington, New Jersey settled down the arms and struck out three batters in 2.1 scoreless innings as he kept the Broncs off the board and the Bobcats in reach.
