Westminster drops a pair to Chatham

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.--The Westminster College baseball program suffered a pair of Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) losses Tuesday, falling to visiting Chatham University 5-4 in the opener and 10-8 in the nightcap. The second game was called due to darkness after six innings. 

Chatham improved to 14-16 overall and 6-6 in the PAC with the doubleheader sweep. Westminster has dropped four of its last five, falling to 13-15 overall and 8-6 in the league. 

Game 1
Tied 2-2 after five, senior left fielder Derek Beach (Titusville, Pa., Titusville) drew a bases-loaded walk in the seventh before fifth-year right fielder Nico Hall's (Aliquippa, Pa., Central Valley) RBI base hit in the eighth. After Tyler Cote's leadoff walk in the top half of the ninth, Cooper Baxter drilled a two-run home run to left before Peter Tadic followed with a solo shot to left center. 

Senior right-hander Ryan Gibbons (Ellwood City, Pa., Lincoln) went 6.2 innings in the no-decision, allowing 2 runs (2 earned) on three hits with three walks and six strikeouts. Junior right-hander Josh Reed (Beaver Falls, Pa., Blackhawk) took the loss, falling to 1-1 this year. He gave up three runs (3 earned) on two hits with a walk and a strikeout in 1.1 innings. Senior right-hander Wyatt Walker (Venetia, Pa., Peters Township) walked one and struck out one in the ninth. 

Sophomore center fielder Quinn Marquis (Hinckley, Ohio, Highland) went 2-for-5 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored. Sophomore third baseman Parker Lyons (Rochester, Pa., Rochester) 2-for-4 with a walk.

Game 2
Westminster hung five runs on the board in the home half of the first, keyed by freshman designated hitter Ian Temple's (Harrison City, Pa., Penn-Trafford) three-run shot to center. It was his first home run of the year. Chatham countered with five of its own in the second Even at 5-all through three, Westminster posted three in the fifth on Lyons' RBI double, senior shortstop Braeden Campbell's (Glenshaw, Pa., Shaler) run-scoring single and freshman first baseman Jack Strausser's (Greenville, Pa., Greenville) score on an errant throw from the Cougars' shortstop after walking earlier in the inning. 

Chatham cut the lead to one, 8-7, with two runs of its own in the fifth, and went up for good in the sixth, tying the game on Nolan Boehm's RBI single to center and going up 10-8 on Baxter's two-out, two-run double. 

Junior right-hander Tyler Staub (Edinburg, Pa., Union) took the no-decision, giving up five runs (2 earned) on two hits with five walks and a strikeout in 1.2 innings. Sophomore right-hander Jon Albers (Corry, Pa., Corry) was dealt the loss in relief of Staub, giving up five runs (3 earned) on six hits with two walks and five strikeouts in 4.1 innings. 

Lyons finished 2-for-4 with a double, two RBIs and two runs scored. He has 13 multi-hit games this year and has reached base safely in 14-straight games. Campbell went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a run scored. He is riding an eight-game hitting streak.
