Cougars scratch out split at Indiana Tech
Sat., April 19, 2008

  FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- Berto Nunez only got one hit, but his double spelled trouble for Indiana Tech on Saturday afternoon.

  Nunez knocked in two runs with his two-out double for the University of Saint Francis, then scored what proved to be the winning run in a 6-2 Game 2 win for the Cougars at Warrior Field. The final of four runs for USF (19-23) wiped out a 5-2 deficit after five innings.

  "Great way to finish," USF coach Greg Roberts said about Game 2. "We kept battling and it really means something when you come back and win against Indiana Tech. We never gave up on this game and just didn't get any breaks or a timely hit in the first game."

  USF only managed four hits against three different Tech pitchers losing 5-0 in Game 1.

  Bart Schnur retired all six batters he faced in the sixth and seventh innings in relief of Chase Gaff and Schnur secured the win. Pinch-runner Cam Byrd and Jon Saporsantos scored on Nunez's double in the top of the sixth to tie the game. Nunez scored on Ben Dunlap's grounder that got past the Warrior third baseman.

  USF mounted two threats in Game 1, but Taylor Futterknecht grounded into a questionable double play in the fourth inning. Travis Potchka appeared to beat the throw to second, but the base umpire ruled it in Tech's favor. USF got two runners on in the seventh, but Austin Leisure took a called third strike to end the game.

  The Cougars travel to Wilmington, Ohio for a doubleheader on Sunday against Wilmington College starting at 1 p.m.
