Nick Guachione<\/a> gave the Red and Blue a 2-0 lead with a sac fly to left field.<\/p>\nPenn tacked on two more runs in the second inning. Secretarski’s double to left field with one out scored Powell and Collins after the pair walked and tallied a single. Columbia starter Will Harrigan escaped the frame with a groundout and a strikeout.<\/p>\n
The Quakers put together a four-run third inning to take an 8-0 advantage. The bases were loaded after a pair of walks and a hit by pitch when Collins stepped to the plate. The Bristol, Ind. native proceeded to reach on an infield single and Taylor scored another run in the next at-bat on a fielder’s choice. Penn’s lead extended to eight runs when Secretarski ripped his second double of the afternoon to left-center field, which drove in Collins and Taylor.<\/p>\n
Through three innings, Moss allowed only two hits to keep the hosts off the board.<\/p>\n
Penn’s ninth run of the day crossed home plate in the fourth inning courtesy of an RBI single by Echevarria, which scored Degnan after he led off with a single through the left side. Moss retired Columbia in 1-2-3 fashion to conclude the frame.<\/p>\n
The hosts battled back with a five-run fifth inning on five hits and an error. Ben Fishel, Jack Kail, Anthony Temesvary and Owen Estabrook were all credited with RBIs as the Lions made it a 9-5 ballgame.<\/p>\n
The Quakers secured some breathing room in the sixth inning thanks to Spaventa’s solo home run. The junior was facing a 1-1 count prior to sending a deep fly ball over the left-field wall to grant the visitors a 10-5 lead.<\/p>\n
Moulin took over on the hill for Moss in the bottom of the sixth frame and sent Columbia back to the dugout in order.<\/p>\n
The contest’s momentum completely shifted in the seventh inning, as the Lions tallied nine runs on five hits and an error to claim a 14-10 lead. The frame was highlighted by a bases-clearing double from Kail.<\/p>\n
Columbia continued to have its way as the eighth inning got underway. The hosts added seven more runs on six hits to boost them to a season-high 21 runs. The final four runs were driven in by Cole Fellows’ grand slam.<\/p>\n
Penn tallied an 11th run in the ninth inning, but reliever Evan Kleinhans allowed only two hits in the frame and secured the final out with a strikeout on Secretarski. With the loss, the Quakers fell to 8-15 on the year and the Lions advanced to 6-16.<\/p>\n
