Baseball Outlasts Knox in 15-Inning Marathon

AUBURNDALE, Fla. – The Albright Lions baseball team (2-6) scored a pair of runs in the top of the 15th and outlasted the Knox Prairie Fire (1-8) 2-1 on Monday afternoon at Lake Myrtle Field in Auburndale.

This marks the longest game for the Lions since a 14-inning affair versus Messiah on April 17, 2003.

The game was scoreless headed into the top of the 15th when the Lions loaded the bases via a pair of walks and a single to set the stage for Kyle Gantert's bases loaded walk and Joe Suppa being hit by a pitch to bring in a second run.

Knox grabbed a run in the bottom of the frame, but freshman Dan Stofko (1-0) was able to get a fly out and a groundout to preserve the win for Albright.

Junior Shaun O'Reilly (8.0 IP, 4 H, BB, 10 K), senior Jeff Yordy (2.0 IP, BB, 3 K), senior Daron Pijanowski (1.0 IP, H, BB, K) and sophomore Nick Cummings (2.0 IP, H, BB, 4 K) combined to toss 14 shutout innings for head coach Jeff Feiler's squad. The eight innings for O'Reilly marks a career-high and he is the first pitcher to fan 10 in a game since Casey Lawrence did so on April 30, 2010 versus Widener. 

Zane Huffman (1-1) was dealt the loss for the Prairie Fire after issuing four walks and being charged with two runs on one hit in 1 1/3 IP. Andrew Ponce made the start for Knox and surrendered three hits while walking two and fanning one over six scoreless innings.

Junior Jimmie Gentry (2-6), junior Logan Pennypacker (2-5, 2 SB, R) and freshman Alex Stump (2-3, R) all recorded multi-hit games for the Lions. Pennypacker has now recorded five multi-hit contests this season.

Albright will battle Keuka College in a doubleheader on Tuesday afternoon in Auburndale. First pitch of game one is set for 11 a.m.
