Freshman Chris Zampogna, making the first start of his career, pitched well early, shutting out Illinois until the fifth.  He then began to feel the effects of fatigue in the hot sun, and gave way to junior Christian Necheff after 4 1/3, giving up four runs and five hits.  Necheff gave up one run in the fifth, but shut down Illionis the rest of the way to earn the win.

In the bottom half of the first, Illinois came back to score three runs, and the Bearcat offense went stagnant until the fourth, when Consuegra took another offering over the left center wall for his second homer of the day.  It was the first hit recorded by Saint Vincent in the night cap, and they were only able to record two more for the afternoon.

Patula started on the hill and took the loss.  Dave Russell and Schock joined Consuegra as the only two other Bearcats to record hits.

The Bearcats were overwhelemed by visiting Seton Hill on Friday, dropping a 15-8 decision. 

The Griffin bats were alive from the start, tagging Bearcat starter Christian Necheff for seven runs on nine hits in the first two innings. The bullpen didn't fare much better, as the Griffins scored four more times in the third. 

The big blow for Seton Hill was a bases loaded double from left fielder Eric Nese.  He was able to score on the play thanks to a Bearcat throwing error, and Seton Hill took the 12-1 lead.

Down by 11, the Bearcats refused to give up.  Rightfielder Cy Haponski started things with a ground rule double, and was driven in on the next pitch when Russ Daniels homered to dead center.  The 400+ foot shot was his fourth of the season and the 16th of his career, tying former Bearcat Joe Pichler for the all-time career mark.

The Bearcats were able to push six more runs across the plate in the long third inning, with T.J. Conroy recording an RBI double, Dan Consuegra scoring two on a single, and Haposnki and Daniels each recording two more RBI singles.

The six run deficit was too much to overcome for the Bearcats, however, and Seton Hill scored three more insurance runs to put the game away.

Consuegra went 3-4 on the afternoon with two RBIs, while Haponski and Daniels were both 2-3.  Righty Anthony Fuhrer came on in the fifth and pitched well in relief, going two and a third, surrendering one hit and one unearned run while striking out three.

TJ Conroy provided all of the runs that SVC would need with a 2-run blast to left center in the top of the first.  The towering home run was estimated at 450 feet.

Colin Nickerson added a 2-run single later in the inning to make it 4-0, then Fuhrer took to the hill and kept the Griffins off the board for the full 7 innings.

Because Fuhrer's pitch count in game one was low, he started game two as well, but was tagged for six hits in 1.1 innings, giving up two runs. 

Mike Schock was 3-4 with three singles, while Colin Nickerson was 2-3.  Mike Adams was 1-2 with a double and a run batted in.

Despite being down by three runs on two seperate occasions, the Bearcats were able to come from behind and defeat visiting Seton Hill, 7-6.

Down 6-5 heading into the bottom of the seventh, Colin Nickerson singled to lead things off for the Bearcats.  Two batters later, pinch hitter Wes Hughes beat out an infield single, advancing Josh Abati, who was pinch running for Nickerson, to second. 

Griffin closer Dan Burkintas induced a Bearcat pop up for the second out, but Mike Schock then singled in Abati to tie things up at six.  Mike Adams then hit what appeared to be a routine chopper to third base, but the ensuing throw sailed over the head of Seton Hill first baseman Steve Gumpf and Hughes was able to cross the plate with the winning run.

The Bearcats found themselves down early, as Seton Hill jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first.  The Griffins added a third run in the next frame when Gumpf was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.

The Bearcats tied the game up at three in the fourth, with Nickerson and Ryan Joseph recording RBI singles, but the Griffins scored two more times in the fourth to go up 5-3.

The Bearcats went to work in the bottom of the sixth, scoring twice.  Stanziano, Schock led the inning off with consecutive singles, and third one base hit by Adams plated Stanziano.  Schock then scored on a wild pitch to bring the hosts to within one, setting up the seventh inning drama.

Russ Daniels started on the hill for the victors, going three and a third and giving up five runs and five hits. Necheff (4-4) pitched the final three and two thirds, surrendering just two hits and one run while striking out three.

Waynesburg got three in the third, highlighted by a Brian Gerginski home run, but the Bearcats stormed back in the bottom half of the inning.

Seven consecutive Saint Vincent  batters reached base to start the inning, as Mike Adams and T.J. Conroy led off with singles and were followed by a walk to Danny Consuegra.  Adams scored on an error and Conroy was driven in by a Nickerson single.

Daniels then entered the Saint Vincent College record books in grand style, driving the first pitch he saw from Yellow Jacket starter Landon Sinclair over the fence in left center for a grand slam.  It was his fifth homer of the season, and the 17th of his career, passing up Joe Pichler's all-time school mark for long balls. 

After all was said and done, the Bearcats crossed the plate seven times in the third to take an 8-4 lead. 

The Bearcats scored their final run on the afternoon with another home run, as rightfielder Cy Haponski took a 3-2 offering from Justin Schrader over the left field wall to make the score 9-5.

In the opener, senior righty Anthony Fuhrer threw a complete game masterpiece, recording a career-high 10 strikeouts while surrendering eight hits and two unearned runs. He walked two and faced just three batters over the minimum, inducing a pair of ground ball double plays.

In the day's first game, Bearcat starter Christian Necheff was effective, allowing only five hits, but struggled with control, issuing six walks.  He picked up the complete game, but was tagged with the loss.

Malone loaded the bases in the top half of the third with no outs, but Necheff induced clean up hitter Bob Dubovec into a 6-4-3 double play.  One run scored on the twin killing, but the next man flied out to end the inning.

Saint Vincent cut the lead in half in the bottom of the third, as centerfielder Mike Schock hit a blooper into shallow right field with one out, and hustled into second for a stand up double.  He was followed by short stop Mike Adams, who laced a line drive into centerfield for the RBI single. 

Things looked promising for the Bearcats in the fourth, as Danny Consuegra led off with a single.  Following two quick outs, Cy Haponski laced a line drive into right, executing a perfect hit and run, and giving the Bearcats runners at the corners.  However, they were unable to push either run across, and the game remained 2-1.

After Necheff retired eight straight Malone hitters, the Pioneers were able to push across two more runs in the sixth.

Consuegra once again led off the bottom  half of the inning with a single, and Matt Stanziano, who served as the courtesy runner for the senior catcher, advanced to third on an errant pick off attempt from Boudler.  He later scored on a Colin Nickerson sacrifice fly to make the Bearcat deficit 4-2.

Malone plated one more in the seventh, however, and closer Anthony Barton picked up his seventh save of the season, as the Bearcats went down in order in the home half.

Adams and Consuegra each went 2-3 in the opener, while Schock went 1-3 with a run scored.

In the second end of the doubleheader, Bearcat starter Nate DeSantis struggled early, and the Bearcats found themselves down 8-0 in the fourth inning.

Senior third baseman T.J. Conroy put the Bearcats on the board in the fourth, sending a shot onto the road beyond the left centerfield fence for his seventh long ball of the season.  He now leads the team and is tied for third in the AMC.

The Bearcats scored their last run of the day in the sixth.  With two outs, Consuegra hit a double deep to the left field corner, and was driven in by Dave Russell.  Russell went 2-3 on the day, while Consuegra, Conroy, and Russ Daniels each were 1-3 in the last game of their career in front of the home crowd.

Another senior, lefty Craig Conforti, was effective in relief, throwing a perfect inning and a third while striking out two.

The Bearcats finished the regular season on a high note, sweeping first place Malone College in a doubleheader.  Final scores were 5-2 and 10-3.

Anthony Fuhrer equalled school records for complete games in a season (7) and conference victories in a year (7), scattering 6 hits and giving up just one earned run on the day.  He walked one and struck out one.

Dave Russell provided the big hit, a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning.  He was 1-for-3 on the afternoon.

Mike Adams went 2-4 with an RBI, while TJ Conroy homered and hit a sacrifice fly, driving in two runs on the day.  Danny Consuegra was 2-2 with a walk, while Matt Stanziano was 2-3.

In game two, Ryan Joseph earned the victory, tossing 5 innings, giving up 7 hits and 3 runs.  He walked two and struck out four.

Wes Hughes provided the power off the bench, with a pinch-hit, 3-run homer in the top of the fifth, an inning which saw Saint Vincent score 9 times.

Consuegra went 1-3 with a 2-run double in the fifth.  He was also hit by a pitch.  Russell was 1-2 with an RBI double and a walk.
