WILMINGTON, DE – The D'Youville University baseball team fell to Goldey-Beacom College on Friday by a score of 15-6.
 
Goldey-Beacom scored one in the bottom of the first and four in the third off LHP Chris Auclair (Baldwinsville, N.Y.) to jump out to a 5-0 lead.
 
DYU saw an opportunity to score in the top of the third after DH Alex Dzimian (Lakeview, N.Y.) singled and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt from CF Dillon Crook (Liverpool, N.Y.). RF Jake Hollins (Orchard Park, N.Y.) then reached on a fielding error by the second baseman, but Dzimian was thrown out at home trying to score, ending the inning.
 
The Saints were able to cut into the deficit in the top of the fourth with two runs thanks to a bases-loaded walk drawn by LF Caden Strobel (Pittstown, Pa.) and an RBI single from Dzimian to make it 5-2.
 
However, Goldey-Beacom would get those runs right back in the bottom half of the inning to extend their lead to 7-2. The Lightning tacked on three more in the sixth to make it 10-2.
 
SS Billy Morris (Lancaster, N.Y.) led off the top of the eighth with a single and then advanced to second on a wild pitch. A double from 1B Jon Simpson (Grand Island, N.Y.) brought Morris home and made it 10-3. LF Nick DiCarlo (Lewiston, N.Y.) then brought Simpson around to score with an RBI single to make it 10-4. Dzimian followed with a single for his third hit of the game, but the Saints would not score any more runs in the inning.
 
In the top of the ninth, after Chris Neino singled and Chris Stefan (Oakville, Ontario) was hit by a pitch, Derek Onevelo brought them home with a two-run double to make it 15-6.
 
D'Youville will look to bounce back tomorrow as they play a doubleheader against Goldey-Beacom starting at 12:00 p.m.
