SLIPPERY ROCK — Jon Kozorian drew a walk with the bases loaded in the eighth inning late Wednesday night at Critchfield Park, handing the Slippery Rock University baseball team a 13-12 win over Bloomsburg and a split of their doubleheader.

The Huskies (26-10) won the first game, 12-6.

Tyler Merigliano had three hits — including a home run and double — to pace SRU (13-22) in the first game. Joe Campagna hit his team-leading eighth home run of the season and Ray Scala had three hits.

Campagna has reached base in 35 consecutive games.

Merigliano led off the eighth inning of the nightcap with a single and scored the winning run. Abraham Mow had six RBI in the second game.

Freshman Andrew McClymonds came out of the bullpen to pitch a scoreless eighth inning and got the win.

SRU hosts Indiana (Pa.) in a doubleheader at 1 p.m. Friday at Critchfield Park. The two teams complete the four-game series Saturday at IUP.

Softball

Freshman first baseman Adeline Nicholson played a key role in The Rock’s doubleheader sweep of host Mercyhurst on Wednesday.

Nicholson homered in both games, a two-run shot in a 4-1 win in Game 1 before doing the same in The Rock’s 9-4 victory in Game 2. She ended the nightcap going 3-for-5 with three RBI.

Camie Shumaker was the winning pitcher in both contests. Her win in the initial game featured six strikeouts, no walks and just one run allowed on three hits in a complete game.

SRU (18-23, 8-8) visits Gannon for a doubleheader Friday.

Tennis

The Rock women improved to 6-0 in the PSAC, 15-7 overall, with a 7-0 win over California (Pa.).

Lacey Cohen has won five straight matches to reach 97 career wins. She is trying to become the 11th Rock tennis player to reach 100 wins.

SRU earned a bye in the first round of the PSAC Tournament and will meet either Bloomsburg or Millersville in the semifinals May 3.
