DOBBS FAIRY, N.Y. - Despite scoring nine runs in Friday's defeat at Mercy, the D'Youville bats struggled to get going Saturday afternoon as the Saint dropped a pair of East Coast Conference tilts to Mercy, 9-1 and 3-1. The Saints fall to 13-20 overall and 6-11 in the ECC.

NOTABLES

Sophomore Jeremy Glinksi drove in both D'Youville runs in the twin bill. Glinski's first-inning single back up the middle drove in junior Ethan Hammond to give the Saints a 1-0 advantage in game one. Hammond reached on D'Youville's previous at-bat with a double to right-center. Hammond's double was his team-leading 13th of the season. The Oakville, Ontario native is also tied for sixth in doubles in the ECC after play on Saturday.

Glinski provided D'Youville's biggest highlight of the day with an inside-the-park home run in the top of the fourth inning. Glinski laced a deep fly ball over the center fielder's head that rolled all the way to the centerfield field wall, allowing him to round the bases for his second home run of the season and fourth of his career. 

Freshman Harrison Lough got the starting nod in game two and tossed 5.1 innings for the Saints. Lough fanned three and surrendered three earned runs on five hits. Freshman Samuel Worthen got the final two outs for the Saints in relief.

UP NEXT

The Saints conclude a three-game series with the College of Staten Island from earlier in April tomorrow afternoon. Sunday's rubber match, which will be played as a home game for the Saints, is scheduled for noon from Staten Island.
