Griffins Show Grit, But Golden Rams Are Last to Score in 16-14 Slugfest

Norristown, Pa. – (4/18/2019) – With 30 runs in all, today's contest with West Chester University was anything but a pitchers' duel. The Golden Rams delivered the winning runs in the top of the ninth inning, plating four runs in the frame out top the Griffins by a 16-14 margin. Sophomore left fielder Michael Perugini (Tamarac, Fla.) was the Scarlet and Gold's top performer with a 3-for-5 effort that included a run-scoring single in the first inning and a run-scoring double in the fifth inning. Four other Griffins recorded multiple hits, including senior catcher Eric Gilham (Deptford, N.J.), who singled in a pair of runs in the fifth inning and homered in the sixth inning.
 
West Chester University (20-10) scored two runs in each of their first four at-bats to outscore Chestnut Hill College (22-19) 8-3 in the early going. After the Golden Rams added a ninth run in the top of fifth inning, 9-3, the Griffins turned the tide with six runs in the bottom of the frame; 9-9. West Chester University reestablished an 11-9 lead with a pair of runs in the sixth inning, but four Scarlet and Gold runs gave the Griffins a 13-11 edge heading to the seventh inning. There each side scored a run to leave the spread at 14-12 for the final two frames. Unfortunately, the Golden Rams' four-run ninth inning did the trick, propelling the visitors to a 16-14 victory.
 
Freshman second baseman Luke LeBeau (Pittsfield, Mass.) led off the Griffins' six-run fifth inning with a double to left center. Junior catcher Thomas Spratt (Doylestown, Pa.), Gilham, and senior designated hitter Franklin Ramirez (Reading, Pa.) all added singles, before Perugini knocked in Chestnut Hill College's last two runs of the at-bat. Gilham was 2-for-3 with three runs and three runs-batted-in (RBI). Sophomore right fielder Sam Barletta (Royersford, Pa.) (1-for-3, 2BB, 1RBI) and sophomore centerfielder John Contoudis (Jenkintown, Pa.) (2-for-3, 2RBI) scored three times apiece.   
 
Chestnut Hill College resumes their Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) schedule on Tuesday, April 23, when they visit Goldey-Beacom College for a 12:00 p.m. doubleheader.
