Rain Keeps Boxers From Finishing Season Opener
CLAREMONT, Calif. – Pacific's 2012 baseball season opener will be a two-day affair after rain caused their game against Pomona-Pitzer to be suspended in the bottom of the seventh inning on Friday afternoon at Alumni Field.
Action was called off with one out in bottom of the seventh inning, with Pomona-Pitzer leading 2-1. The Sagehens will have one man on first base against reliever
Tyler Kotchik (So., Beaverton, Ore.) when play resumes tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.
Pomona-Pitzer pushed the game's first run across in the bottom of the first. Erik Munzer was hit by a pitch to lead off the frame and scored when the No. 2 hitter, Mike Moyer, doubled. Moyer made it a 2-0 lead in the third when he reached second on an error and scored on a sacrifice fly.
Pacific picked up their only run thus far and their first two hits of the season in the top of the seventh inning.
Logan Moen (Sr., Brier, Wash.) singled with one out and then advanced to third on
Michael Arakaki's (Sr., Mililani, Hawaii) double down the left field line. Newcomer
Charlie Gaff (Fr., Stockton, Calif.) picked up Moen with a sacrifice fly to right.
Kyle Treadway (So., Phoenix, Ore.) threw six innings of solid baseball in the initial start of the season before giving way to Kotchik in the seventh. Treadway allowed two runs, one earned, in five hits with a walk and two strikeouts. Pomona-Pitzer starter Jake Bruml went 6.2 innings, allowing the one run on two hits with seven strikeouts.
Pacific will complete their suspended game tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. The two teams will then play their scheduled doubleheader (two nine-inning games) following.
