CSU Defeats Mount St. Mary’s, Falls to Minnesota at Snowbird Classic

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. – Chicago State baseball split a pair of games here today in the Snowbird Classic at North Charlotte Regional Park with a 7-4 victory over Mount St. Mary's and closed the day with a 16-5 defeat to Minnesota.
 
A two-run double from junior Tyler Lowe (Northville, Mich./Northville) in the first inning of the first game which scored seniors Matt Paciello (Wellington, Fla./Park Vista) and Cody Freund (McHenry, Ill./McHenry) to give the Green and White an early 2-0 lead.
 
CSU added three runs in the third inning with Lowe and senior Jacob Vanitvelt (Grand Blanc, Mich./Grand Blanc) posting RBI singles that increased its leading margin to 5-0 before MSM responded by scoring once in the fourth and twice in the fifth to slice its deficit to 5-3.
 
After Sean Kelly hit an RBI double in the top of the seventh to pull Mount St. Mary's within a run at 5-4, the Cougars closed the scoring in the bottom half of the inning thanks to a two-RBI single to right field that plated senior Zach Thomas (Joliet, Ill./Joliet West) and junior Matt Cox (Bettendorf, Iowa/Bettendorf).
 
CSU was led by Lowe's 3-for-4 effort at the plate with five RBIs and a stolen base, while Paciello batted 2-for-3 and scored three runs. Freshman Dylan Cumming (Grand Blanc, Mich./Grand Blanc) captured his first collegiate win by striking out two batters and walking two through 6.1 innings throw. Junior Joe Fitka (Anchorage, Alaska/Diamond) recorded his third save on the young season by striking out three in 2.2 relief innings.
 
Paciello started the Minnesota contest with an RBI single to bring home Thomas for an early 1-0 lead in the first inning. The Green and White increased their lead to 4-0 in the third inning which was highlighted by a two-RBI double from Cox.
 
The Golden Gophers then outscored CSU by a 16-1 margin between the third and eighth inning to gain the win, including a six-run rally in the seventh inning.
 
The Cougars received 3-for-4 offensive outputs from Thomas, Freund and Paciello in the contest. Junior reliever Dean Youngblood (Melissa, Texas/Melissa) took the loss on the mound after allowing eight runs (four earned) on seven hits through four innings of work.
 
CSU closes the Snowbird Classic against another Big Ten Conference opponent Indiana tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m.
