Baseball Falls at Lafayette in Liberty Bell Classic

EASTON, Pa. – The Saint Joseph's baseball team dropped its Liberty Bell quarterfinal matchup on Tuesday, falling to Lafayette by a 13-7 score at Kamine Stadium.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
• Lafayette (6-18) took the lead in the bottom of the first, scoring a run on an RBI double by Blaze Fadio.
 
• Saint Joseph's (9-13) equalized in the second after Colin Myers drew a two-out walk, stole second, and scored on a single by Jakob Reed, but the Leopards would regain the lead in the bottom of the frame on a throwing error.
 
• The Hawks would go ahead in the third.  Ryan Cesarini led off the inning with a single and scored on a double by Ryan Weingartner; two batters later, Ryan Picollo hit a sacrifice fly to bring home Weingartner and give the Hawks the lead.
 
• The hosts went back in front in the bottom of the frame on a two-run home run by Fadio.  His single in the fourth pushed the lead to 5-3.
 
• An error in the top of the fifth allowed Owen Petrich to score and get the Hawks back within a run, but single runs in the fifth, sixth, and seventh extended the Hawks' deficit to 8-4.
 
• A bases-loaded walk to Petrich in the eighth made it an 8-5 game, but the Leopards blew the game open with a five-spot in the bottom of the inning.
 
• Conlan Wall added a two-run single in the ninth to close out the scoring.
 
BEHIND THE BOX SCORE
• Jacob Maurer was the winning pitcher for Lafayette, allowing an unearned run in two and a third innings, while Colin Yablonski got the start for the Hawks and was charged with five runs in three and two-thirds to take the loss.
 
• Cesarini made his season debut on Tuesday after returning from a preseason injury and rapped out a pair of hits while scoring a run and stealing a base.
 
• Wall had three hits on the day for SJU, while Myers walked, was hit by a pitch, stole two bases, and scored three runs.  Fadio drove in five runs for Lafayette to lead all hitters.
