Potomac State takes twinbill

Catamounts sweep Wesleyan, improve to 17-1 in last 18 games

KEYSER - Potomac State rolled past visiting West Virginia Wesleyan in game one and dodged the rain drops long enough in game two to sweep Thursday's doubleheader at Golden Park.

The Catamounts won the opener 16-0 and took the second game, which was shortened to six innings because of rain, 7-2.

In the opener, Cody Dalton doubled, singled twice and knocked in four runs to lead a 17-hit Potomac State attack. Mike Smith added a two-run single and Kyle Orensky singled and doubled to drive in two runs.

Alex Hart hit his first home run of the season in the fourth inning for the Catamounts (17-4). Gary Williams and Peter Savage added three hits each.

Andy Berry, Jonathan Hash and Matt Moceri combined for a one-hit shutout and five strikeouts.

In the second game, Ryan Venderlic's fourth-inning RBI single tied the game, and a pair of unearned runs gave Potomac State the lead for good at 3-1.

Orensky added an RBI double and Jacke Healey had an RBI single for the Catamounts, who trailed 1-0 through three innings.

Matt Fryer pitched 2 1-3 innings for the win.

Potomac State, 17-1 in its last 18 games, wraps up its current homestand on Saturday with a 2 p.m. game against Chesapeake.
