Concordia College completed the sweep of this weekend's four game series with a pair of wins over the University of the Sciences baseball team, 6-0 and 11-5 at Richie Ashburn Field in Philadelphia Sunday afternoon.

In the opener Jarrad Gustin (Central Dauphin HS/Harrisburg, Pa.) limited the Clippers to just one hit over the first five innings before tiring in the sixth, allowing four Clipper runs on five hits. The Devils could muster no offense against Concordia starter Keith Malanga, who held USP to just three hits, two of which came in their final at-bat. Gustin took the loss, going 5 1/3 innings and allowing four runs on six hits while striking out two. Kyle Davis (Garnet Valley HS/Garnet Valley, Pa.), Pete LaRocco (Gloucester Catholic HS/Sewell, N.J.) and Mark Perry (Toms River South/Toms River, N.J.) accounted for the Devils three hits.

In the second game, Concordia scored three times in the opening frame off starter and losing pitcher Michael Croft (Franklin Towne Charter/Philadelphia, Pa.) and opened up a 5-1 lead before the Devils pulled within one with a three-run third. Catcher Mark Forbes (Salesianum HS/Hockessin, Del.) delivered the big blow, a two run double with the bases-loaded, scoring Nick Szalejko (Archbishop Carroll HS/Norristown, Pa.) (hit by pitch) and Davis (walk). Luke Peyton (Haddonfield HS/Haddonfield, N.J.), seeing a rare spot start at the designated hitter position, drove in the Devils third run of the inning with an infield groundout.

The Clippers blew the game open with four runs in the fourth to take a 9-4 lead. LaRocco tripled with one out in the fifth and came around on Peyton's single to pull the Devils closer at 9-5 but the Clippers added two more in their final at-bat to close out the weekend with an 11-5 win and a four-game sweep of the Devils. LaRocco had three hits in the game. Forbes and Peyton had two RBI apiece while Davis had one. USP starter Croft faced just nine batters, giving up four runs on four hits.

The Devils return to action on Wednesday, March 24, 2010 when they face perennial CACC powerhouse Wilmington University in New Castle, Delaware. The doubleheader is set to start at 1:00 p.m.
