Marywood University blanked Immaculata University, 2-0, in an Atlantic East Conference baseball game Thursday at Pacer Park to set a school record for wins in a season.<\/p>\n
It was the Pacers\u2019 23rd victory, surpassing the mark of 22 set in 2012 and matched in 2022 and 2024. It also was their school-record fifth shutout, breaking the previous mark of four in 2012 and 2015.<\/p>\n
Scoreless into the bottom of the seventh, Marywood (23-12 overall, 8-5 league) broke through with two outs when Nick Ruiz scored on an error of a ball hit by Joel Ayers. Mike Biskup\u2019s two-out RBI single in the bottom of the eighth provided an insurance run.<\/p>\n
Four pitchers combined on the shutout. Noah Trager allowed four hits in six innings with one walk and three strikeouts. Brett Kugler (2-0) got the win after one scoreless inning with two hits. Aidan Dolan and\u00a0Isaac Galarza each threw a perfect inning of relief with Galarza notching his second save.<\/p>\n
