@WidenerBaseball Wins Slugfest Against Muhlenberg

AUBURNDALE, Fla. - Daren Wood drove in five runs as the Widener University baseball team won a slugfest from the Muhlenberg Mules 15-11 on Wednesday afternoon.  
 
BY THE NUMBERS 
  • Wood posted two hits in the game including a homer and a double. 
  • Stephen Posner recorded two hits and drove in three.  
  • Also recording multi-hit games were Kyle Brex, Justin Costanzo, and Brandon Reis. Reis had two RBI and Costanzo scored three times.  
  • Dylan Peiffer came on in relief and tossed 2.2 scoreless innings, striking out five to pick up the win.  
 
HOW IT HAPPENED 
The Pride came out of the gate swinging, posting four runs in the bottom of the first inning. After Matt Samson walked and Brex singled, Wood cracked a double to center, scoring both runners, a groundout moved Wood to third in front of a Costanzo walk. Widener executed a double steal with Wood coming across the plate, making it 3-0. The scoring in the frame closed on a Reis single, scoring Costanzo. 
 
Wasting no time, Muhlenberg got all the runs back in the top of the second. The game remained that way until the fourth inning when Wood struck again, hitting a three-run homer, part of a five-run inning for the Blue and Gold, going up 9-4.  
 
Once again, the seemingly comfortable lead was short-lived as the Mules posted four in the top of the fifth, slicing the lead to a single run. Widener scratched across an unearned run in the bottom of the frame on a groundout by Reis. Undaunted, Muhlenbeg took its first lead of the game in the top of the seventh, scoring three times to forge ahead 11-10.  
 
This time it was the Pride who battled back. Singles by Costanzo and Reis sandwiched a walk to Tommy McParland, loading the bases with nobody out. Sam Lesher promptly doubled to left, scoring Costanzo and McParland, pushing WU on top 12-11. Coming up next, Stephen Posner hit a double of his own, bringing home two runs. Posner advanced to third on the play on an error by the leftfielder and came in to score on a passed ball to make it 15-11. 
 
From there, it was Peiffer (2-1) who took care of the rest. Coming on in the seventh, he recorded the final two outs there before striking out the side in the eighth. He allowed a two-out walk in the ninth before securing the final out of the game on a fly out.
