Baseball Falls to Altoona, But Are Still Alive

ALFRED, N.Y.  – Hilbert College suffered a 12-3 defeat to Penn State Altoona in the  2023 AMCC Baseball Tournament winner's bracket 4pm game today.   

The Lions kept the Hawks' bats in check and out-distanced Hilbert on the scoreboard propelling them to the Championship game tomorrow.

Hilbert now turns around and faces Alfred State College in a 5pm game tonight as they battle out of the losers bracket.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Altoona pushed the first run on the board at the top of the 1st and stretched their lead to 3-0 at the top of the 5th
  • After allowing three hits in the first inning, Michael Contini limited the Lions to just two hits in the next three scoreless innings
  • Ronald Mort covered the next 2.1 innings, allowed six hits and four runs before Josh McTigue took the mound with one out in the 7th
  • Hilbert evened the score at 3-3 in the bottom of the 5th and stayed with the Lions until they poked a two-run homer in the 7th
  • Patrick Whelan doubled down the left field line and scored Thomas Evans and Jairo Santos before Griffin McAndrews' hit to center plated Whelan, knotting the game at 3-3.
  • Altoona manufactured another six runs by the time the Hawks picked up their bats in the bottom of the 8th.  After Jack Duffek's single and Alex Ellison's walk, Hilbert suffered back-to-back swinging K's stranding two on the bags.
  • The Lions added three more runs off three hits in the 9th and kept the Hawks in check the rest of the way.
Griffin McAndrews and Jack Duffek earned two hits and Patrick Whelan led with a 2RBI double.

Contini made his 13th start this year and slipped to 3-4 on the mound.

Up Next:

Hilbert (25-17) now moves to the loser's bracket for a rematch of yesterday's game against Alfred State.  Earlier this morning, the Pioneers knocked Penn State Behrend out of the tournament after they earned a 7-4 victory over the Lions. 
 
Penn State Altoona advances to the championship game tomorrow and will face the winner of Hilbert / Alfred State College who are working their way out of the loser's bracket.
