Bucknell Baseball Claims Series Finale over Holy Cross, 8-0
4/17/2022 5:24:00 PM | Baseball
WORCESTER, Mass. -- The Bucknell University baseball team rebounded from two walk-off defeats to Holy Cross on Saturday to take the series finale on Sunday by a score of 8-0. Bucknell used eight shutout innings from senior Austin Odell (5-2) while mustering 12 hits to improve to 15-19 overall, and 11-7 in Patriot League play after the weekend.
Bucknell opened the scoring in the second inning when Logan Kellerman, who recorded a career-best four RBIs on the day, used a sac fly on a full count to score Jacob Corson and give Bucknell a 1-0 lead.    Â
Kellerman was involved once more in the fourth inning as Bucknell added two more runs in the frame. The Bison capitalized on an error in the inning by the Crusaders in the infield, loading the bases with one out after a leadoff double by Jacob Corson. Brendan Lowery reached on the aforementioned error, before senior Kendall Pierson walked to load the bases.Â
Kellerman brought home Corson on a fielder's choice, before Lyons continued his excellent stretch over the weekend with an RBI single to score Lowery and give Bucknell a three-run cushion.
The Bison tacked on three more insurance runs in the fifth and two in the seventh to give ample support to Odell, who threw a career-high eight innings on Sunday.  Â
Another error by the Crusaders hurt the home team in the frame, as Grant Voytovich singled, before Tyler Dunn reached on the misplay. Dunn then stole second, before a walk by Lowery loaded the bases Â
That set up Pierson, who knocked a big RBI single to center field to add two more unearned runs for the Bison in the inning. Kellerman then picked up his third RBI of the day one pitch later on a single to right field to allow Lowery to touch home.Â
The Bison capped off their scoring for the day in the seventh when Kellerman brought home Dunn on another sac fly, before another fielding error allowed Kyle Lyons to touch home on a ball put in play by Lowery and give Bucknell an 8-0 victory.Â
Odell didn't allow a hit through his final four innings on the mound in the win, and ended his day by only allowing one baserunner from the fifth inning on due to an error. Nikhil Patel finished the job for the Bison in the ninth, recording two strikeouts to end the game and secure a 1-2 weekend against the Crusaders. Â
Voytovich and Dunn each recorded three-hit days, while Kellerman's four RBIs were the most of his career. Lyons added an RBI after his career-best three in game two against Holy Cross yesterday, while Corson added two hits and two runs scored.Â
Bucknell will continue with conference play on Wednesday when it travels to Annapolis to complete its season series against Navy. Bucknell went 3-1 against the Mids at Depew Field earlier this season. First pitch is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Â
