Beaver Falls, PA –Geneva baseball scored first in a single nine-inning game Friday, April 15, in a home game with the St. Vincent Bearcats. The early lead didn’t last, though, as the Bearcats defeated Geneva 17-4. The loss lowers the Golden Tornadoes 7-18 overall, 2-13 in the President’s Athletic Conference (PAC).
St. Vincent easily handled Geneva’s pitching as six hitters combined for 16 hits, 14 RBIs and 12 runs scored. Geneva jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third, however, St. Vincent scoed 14 in the top of the fourth and never looked back.
Drew Nichols (New Wilmington, PA/Wilmington) was charged with the loss. He allowed six runs in 3 1/3 innings, walked no one, and struck out one.
Two Golden Tornado runs crossed the plate in the bottom half of the eighth, making the score 17-4. A wild pitch and a groundout provided the runs, but it would not be enough.
