Baseball Strikes Early in Doubleheader Sweep at Lincoln

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. – The Holy Family University baseball team scored in each of its first four at-bats in both games of a doubleheader sweep, 27-6 and 10-4, at Lincoln on Saturday, highlighted by a 13-run second in the opener.  
 
Individual Highlights
  • Zach Morales (Barrington, N.J./Triton Regional (PSU-Abington)) reached base in eight of his nine at-bats, finishing the doubleheader 5-for-6 with a home run, two hit-by-pitches, a walk, four RBI and three runs
  • Dylan Mercedes (Washington Heights, N.Y./St. Raymonds (Mansfield University)) had three hits and a home run in both contests, going 6-for-9 with a hit-by-pitch, nine RBI and six runs
  • Game two starter Casey Murphy (Merion Station, Pa./Lower Merion (Ursinus College)) picked up his second consecutive complete game win, striking out eight as he surrendered three earned
  • Christian Culver (Croydon, Pa./Harry S. Truman (Bucks County CC)) picked up his first win as a Tiger in the opener with 2.2 perfect innings of relief in which he struck out four 
 
How it Happened
First Game
  • The first 14 reached in the 13-run second, with Nick Lombardo (Willow Grove, Pa./Upper Dublin (Bucks County CC)), Brian Comer (Charlotte, N.C./Independence (Bucks County CC)), Isaac Criss (Grove City, Pa./Grove City (Bucks County CC)), Jon Martinez (Camden, N.J./Timber Creek Regional (Camden CC)) and Mercedes all doing so twice
    • Lombardo led off with a hit-by-pitch and later drew a bases loaded walk
    • Comer followed with a single and also drew a bases loaded walk
    • Criss doubled home those two and later was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded
    • Martinez was a hit by a pitch and later drew a bases loaded walk
    • Mercedes had four RBI, first being hit by a pitch with the bases loaded before capping the frame with a bases-clearing double
Second Game
  • Holy Family plated three in the first as it never trailed
  • Comer led off the game with a walk and later came around on a single by Mercedes, who then trotted home on Morales' homer
  • Comer, Mercedes and Morales were involved in the next three runs as well, with Comer driving in Lombardo on a two-out single in the second and Mercedes leading off the third with his homer
    • Morales followed that with a single, which eventually led to him coming home on an Alex Camilo (Cambridge, Ontario/Monsignor Doyle (Alliance University)) sacrifice fly after Dalton Turner (Langorne, Pa./Neshaminy (Bucks County CC)) had doubled
  • The Tigers responded to a three-run Lincoln third with three of their own in the fourth, beginning with a Lombardo base on balls
  • Devon de Vera (Goodyear, Ariz./Broomfield (Chandler-Gilbert CC)) doubled him home before coming around on a Mercedes single and after a Morales hit-by pitch, an error re-established the six-run cushion
