QUAKER NOTEMEAL
*
Wyatt Henseler hit his 26th career home run, tying Tom Olszak's program record.
*
Brian Zeldin tossed a season-high three innings, retiring all nine batters he faced, striking out three.

Ben Miller who had three each. Palis fell a home run shy of Penn's first cycle in four years. Miller also had three RBI, one of four players who had multi-RBI days.
HOW IT HAPPENED
After totaling eight hits and one run in Saturday's doubleheader, Penn's bats awoke in grand fashion in the first on Sunday.
Palis led off with a single, and a walk to
Wyatt Henseler and a
Davis Baker hit-by-pitch loaded the bases with one out.
Miller stepped in and drove home Palis and Henseler with a line drive back up the middle.
After a two-out walk to
Calvin Brown re-loaded the bases,
Seth Werchan doubled down the right field line, scoring Miller and Baker.
Jarrett Pokrovsky followed Werchan with a Texas leaguer just inside the right field foul line, plating Werchan and Brown. With the Quakers having batted around, Palis lined a double to dead center, scoring Pokrovsky.
Dromboski faced the minimum through three and did not allow a hit until the fourth when Yale put a run on the board.
After the seven-run first, the Penn bats cooled until the sixth, when Palis led off with a triple down the right field line and Appel followed with a double. Henseler followed Appel with his record-tying shot to center.
Miller added an Appel-scoring single in the eighth and
Carson Ozmer struck out three batters in the ninth to close out the series.
Up Next
Penn hits the road Wednesday for a 3:00 p.m. first pitch at Rider.
