Game 2 Box Score

DOVER, Del. – In their first double-header of the 2011 season, the Lions (0-2) faced off against a tough Wesley College (2-0) squad Sunday afternoon at Bob Reed Field. The host Cougars defeated the Lions by the final score of 4-0 in game one and 6-0 in game two.

Despite the back-to-back shutouts, the Lions did make solid contact at the plate. Junior Tom Canuso picked up right where he left off a season ago as he went 2-for-5 on the day. Last season, Canuso led the Lions with the team's only .300+ batting average.

Also picking up their first hits of the year were seniors Justin Danser, Rob Mancinelli, and Shawn Walbert. Sophomore Tyler Meckley also notched his first hit of the year in game two, while newcomers Ryan Schwager, Nate Peiffer, and Jared Ruppert each made contact for the first time in the Albright uniform.

On the hill junior Matt Rehrig was handed his first loss of the year in game one after giving up two runs on four hits in five innings of work. Rehrig also went on to record four strikeouts, and did not surrender a walk.

In game two senior Kevin Thomas had a tough debut after going just 1 2/3 innings in which he gave up four runs on six hits. Only two of those runs were earned, as the Lions were charged with three errors in game two.

Having a solid debut for the Lions pitching staff was Paul Labe, who despite giving up just two runs on four hits, managed to fan a total of three batters.

For Wesley, Sunday's doubleheader consisted of four runs on eight hits in game one, and six runs on 10 hits in the nightcap.

Baseball is scheduled to make their 2011 home debut on March 1 when they host local rival Penn State Berks at Kelchner Field. Game time is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
