Cats Top Lions In Opening Day Double Header
The fresh faced B&SC Bobcats opened their fall season Saturday the 19th and they came out roaring as they topped PSU Beaver in both ends of the double header by scores of 17-4 and 14-4. Leading the way offensively for the Cats was Sophomore standout Dom Prevesk as he finished the day 3 for 5 with two home runs and a triple, 5 RBI, 4 runs scored, and 2 stolen bases to go along with superb defense at shortstop. Prevesk led the OCCAC in nearly every offensive category last season and looks to be a figurehead in the middle of another formidable Bobcat lineup. Prevesk wasn't the only Bobcat to have a memorable day on the diamond as many Bobcats made their debut on the sunny and warm afternoon, and what debuts they were. Freshmen Jackson Micheels, Ryker Beaty, and Seth Lahocki all deposited balls over the left field wall for their first hits, and homeruns, as Bobcats as the B&SC offense produced 31 runs on 27 hits against PSU Beaver pitching on the day. Lahocki finished with 4 hits on the day including his first career home run, while Jon Kaney joined Prevesk with 3 hits. Marcus Aulizia showed off his power in game 2 as he hit his first Bobcat home run over the trees in left field. Aulizia would finish the day 2 for 5 with 2 runs scored and 2 RBI. On the mound Evan Morris and Nick Blasczak would earn their first wins as Bobcats. Morris got the ball in game 1 and proceeded to strike out two Lion hitters in two clean frames to begin his Bobcat career and earn the win. Blasczak opened up game 2 by striking out the side in the first inning of his Bobcat career. While there are many new faces in the Bobcat dugout, the atmosphere, energy, and self expectations remain the same. This team is here to compete every pitch, of every at bat, in an attempt to try to win every game. After a 31-18 season this past Spring, they seem to be picking up right where they left off as Summer turns to Fall. The Bobcats will be back on the field Monday at 5:00pm as they take on the Malone University Pioneers at Thurman-Munson Stadium in Canton, OH.
