Baseball splits doubleheader with Abington

READING, PA - The Penn State Berks baseball team split with Penn State Abington in an United East doubleheader on Saturday afternoon at Hintz Athletic Field. Berks won rallied late for a 5-4 victory in game one, but Abington salvaged the split on the day by taking game two by a 16-8 margin.

Berks, who took two of three games in the series, is now 8-12 overall and 7-5 in the United East, while Abington goes to 12-13 on the year and 7-5 in the conference.

In the opener, Abington scored a run in the top of the first, but Berks bounced back with a pair of runs in the bottom half when David Rudisill drove in Colin Templin and Nick Bergeman with a single to center field. The visitors scored twice in the second to take a 3-2 lead and extended it with a run in the top of the fifth. Berks tied it up in the bottom of the fifth when Jonathan Myers scored from the third on a wild pitch and Bergeman scored from second base on an Abington error.

Ryan Spatz worked out of an one-out, bases loaded jam in the top of the sixth with back-to-back strikeouts to end threat. Berks carried that momentum into the bottom half of the inning. Logan Ewert doubled down the left field line and came around to score on a two-out single to left field by Templin.

Tommy Peifley came on in the top of the seventh and issued a walk to the leadoff batter. The sophomore right-hander got a fly out to center and then a pop-up to Bergeman at first, who then tug the baserunner for a game-ending double play.

Josh Miiller allowed eight hits and four runs (three earned), while striking out two in 5.0 innings of work. Spatz (1-0) earned the win with his scoreless inning of relief and Peifley picked up his second save of the season.

Rudisill finished 1-for-3 with two RBI, while Bergeman was 1-for-3 with two runs scored. Templin (RBI), Ewert, and Myers (two stolen bases) all had a hit and scored a run.

In the second game, Abington scored one in the second and three times in the third to jump out to a 4-0 lead. They tacked on on more in the fifth, three in the in the seventh and broke it open with eight in the eighth.
