Fisher Baseball season ends in disapointment

Greensburg, PA - The Fisher Baseball team squandered a golden opportunity to advance to the NAIA Regionals by dropping two straight to the KIAC Champion Brescia University today at Seton Hill University. Brescia jumped out early in the first game by scoring 4 runs off of Fisher starter Jarlin Gomez (Lawrence, MA). That was all Brescia needed as they added 4 more runs en route to an 8-1 win. Senior Tom Englehardt (Bradford, MA) was 1-3 with a run scored. Junior Juan Eusebio (Union City, NJ) continued his recent hitting by going 2-4 and freshman Gary Lunetta (North Andover, MA) collected 3 hits in 5 at bats in the loss.

Game two was a back and forth battle. Each team traded runs in the first and fifth, and Fisher had a slim 3-2 lead going into the 6th. Fisher starter Samuel Luciano (Union City, NJ) pitched 5 strong innings allowing just 2 runs on 5 hits. Sophomore Kevin Ryan (Cheshire, CT) took the mound and immediately gave up 3 runs, including a 2 run Home Run. Ryan would also give up two more runs in the 9th off another 2 run Home Run by Brescia. Fisher would score two runs in the bottom of the 9th. With runners on first and second and two outs, junior Edwin Pena (Union City, NJ) hit a deep fly ball to the warning track for the final out.

Fisher finishes the season with an overall record of 28-20-1. There will be more on this tremendous season in the weeks to come. Here are the box scores from today's games.
