History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Jake Sparks<\/a> broke a ninth-inning tie with the go-ahead two-run single \u2013 and punctuated the massively decisive 11-run frame with a two-run double \u2013 as Siena Baseball evened the series with a 20-11 triumph at Sacred Heart in a four-hour, rain-soaked slugfest.
\n\u00a0
\nSparks finished with a career-high six RBI for Siena (14-24, 7-13) which matched a season-high with 20 runs scored on a season-best 21 hits. The Saints offense has come alive down the stretch, eclipsing double digit runs in five of their past six games.
\n\u00a0
\nSiena opened an 8-2 lead with a three-run sixth before Sacred Heart (13-24, 10-9) rallied back. The Pioneers scored in each of the final five innings, including scoring five unanswered to draw even at 9-9 in the eighth.
\n\u00a0
\nBut badly needing a conference victory, the Saints weren’t about to let this important game slip away. Siena sent a whopping 16 batters to the plate during their 11-run ninth. The Saints registered six hits and worked six walks \u2013 including three straight with the bases loaded \u2013 against a quartet of Pioneers relievers in the frame. Not only did Siena bat around in the inning, but 10 straight hitters reached base safely at one juncture in a wild frame.
\n\u00a0
\nAll 10 Siena hitters who saw action on the afternoon reached base safely, with nine recording hits. Seven Saints recorded multi-hit performances, and seven scored multiple runs.
\n\u00a0
\nSparks led all players with four hits, while also scoring three times. Matt Thorsen<\/a> added three hits, three runs scored, and four RBI, while Vincent Venditti<\/a> was on base five times highlighted by three hits while scoring a game-high four runs.
\n\u00a0
\nSiena will look to secure a crucial series victory in the rubber game Sunday at noon.
