Mondello's gem helps Fisher go 1-1 on the Day
Junior Rob Mondello pitches 8 strong innings to earn his first win
With two 9 inning games being played, Fisher need a strong pitching performance in atleast one game. That performance came in game two, as junior Rob Mondello (Haverhill, MA) threw 8 innings giving up 1 run, allowing 8 hits and striking out 4 for his first victory of the season. Fisher beat the University of Texas at Brownsville 7-1. Fisher's offense also continued to stay hot as junior catcher Edwin Pena (Union City, NJ) belted two home runs, his first multi-homer game of his career, and finished the day 5-6 with 5 RBIs.
However, Fisher dropped the first 9 inning game of the day to Valley City State University 15-8. The score makes it sound more lopsided than it was. Fisher had a one run deficit going into the bottom of the seventh, as Tom Englehardt (Bradford, MA) hit a three run home run to make it 6-5 VCSU. In the bottom of the 7th, Fisher's bullpen gave up 7 runs and Valley City would add 2 more in the 8th. Fisher tried to come back by scoring 3 in the top of the 8th, but the rally fell short.
Fisher looks to continue this impressive road trip to Texas today, March 19th, when they take on the University of Houston-Victoria in a 7pm est contest. You can follow all the action right here starting at 6:45 pm est.
