HOW IT HAPPENED
The teams traded zeroes in the first and a run each in the second. For the Quakers,
Jarrett Pokrovsky singled with one out, and later advanced to second on a wild pitch. Back-to-back walks to
Wilson and
Seth Werchan loaded the bases, and a second wild pitch in the inning plated Pokrovsky.
The score held until the fourth when a Wilson single and
Cole McGonigal double put two Quakers in scoring position with one out.
Cole Palis drove in Wilson with a groundout and Appel singled home McGonigal, putting the Red and Blue up 3-1.
The Hawks got a run back with a triple in the bottom of the inning, but Delany stranded the tying run with back-to-back strikeouts and a fly out to end the inning.
The one-run lead held up until the eighth when
Davis Baker added some insurance with his second homer of the year to lead off the inning.
In the ninth,
Jackson Appel led off with a single and went all the way to third on a failed pickoff attempt.
Ben Miller drove in Appel then, after stealing second, came in to score on a Pokrovsky double to left.
Ozmer conceded a one-out double in the ninth, but stranded the runner to close out the win for the Quakers.
UP NEXT
Penn welcome Yale to Tommy Lasorda Field at Meiklejohn Stadium this weekend for an Ivy League Series starting with a doubleheader Saturday with an 11:30 first pitch for Game 1.
