Baseball Overcomes Early Deficit to Defeat Regionally-Ranked Goldey-Beacom in Game One

PHILADELPHIA – The Holy Family University baseball team overcame a three-run Goldey-Beacom first inning to defeat the Lightning, a team receiving votes in the national poll, 5-3 in game one of a doubleheader at FDR Park on Saturday.
 
Goldey-Beacom scored 11 runs in its first two at-bats en route to winning the nightcap 6-31. 
 
Individual Highlights
  • Zach Morales (Barrington, N.J./Triton Regional (PSU-Abington)) had his second three-hit game of the year in the opener, finishing 3-for-4 with two doubles, a run and RBI
  • Nick Lombardo (Willow Grove, Pa./Upper Dublin (Bucks County CC)) hit his first home run as a Tiger as part of a 2-for-4 performance that featured two runs and two RBI
  • Brian Williams (Glenside, Pa./Roman Catholic (Bucks County CC)) improved to 2-0 with 5.2 innings of scoreless relief in game one, in which he allowed just three hits
  • Nathan Kuhta (Highlands Ranch, Colo./Highlands Ranch (Ottawa University)) and Casey Murphy (Merion Station, Pa./Lower Merion (Ursinus College)) worked hitless relief frames, with the latter earning his first save of the season
  • Dylan Mercedes (Washington Heights, N.Y./St. Raymonds (Mansfield University)) went a perfect 2-for-2 with a double in game two, with Dalton Turner (Langorne, Pa./Neshaminy (Bucks County CC)) adding two hits and a double as well
  • Emidio Bucci (Gambrills, Md./Loyola Blakefield (York College)) joined Lombardo in hitting his first home run as a Tiger on the day
 
How it Happened
First Game
  • Goldey-Beacom took advantage of an error to plate one unearned run in the three-run first, but HFU had an immediate response in the form of Lombardo's homer, which came after Morales' two-out double
  • Williams entered with one out in the second and stranded two, with Bucci throwing out a base-stealer
  • Holy Family loaded the bases in the bottom-half on a Matt Azzarano (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan) single, Aidan Crean (Philadelphia, Pa./Abraham Lincoln (Camden CC)) walk and Gino Serechia (Hammonton, N.J./Hammonton (Shepherd University)) hit-by-pitch, eventually tying the score on Morales' infield single
  • The Tigers then scored the eventual game-winning in the fourth, after Williams picked off two to escape trouble in the third  
    • Crean singled with one out and stole two bases, coming in on an errant throw on the second
  • Holy Family added insurance in the fifth thanks to singles by Lombardo, Turner and Alex Camilo (Cambridge, Ontario/Monsignor Doyle (Alliance University))
  • Williams continued to escape pressure, leaving runners in scoring position in the fifth, sixth and seventh
  • Kuhta and Murphy worked hitless eighth and ninths
