Leopards Defeat St. Peter's, 22-11, in Mid-Week Slugfest

Lafayette drives in its most runs since 2005

EASTON, Pa. – Senior Michael Zarrillo had five RBIs, and juniors Ethan Swidler and Bode Grieve both collected three hits, as Lafayette baseball defeated St. Peter's, 22-11, on Wednesday at Kamine Stadium. This is the highest run total for the Leopards in a single game since Lafayette defeated Penn, 23-7, in 2005, and the first time that Lafayette has scored more than 20 runs since the Maroon and White defeated Bucknell, 20-9, in 2009.

The Peacocks started the scoring in the top of the first, driving in three runs in the frame and making the score 3-0. Lafayette responded with nine runs in the bottom of the inning on three consecutive bases-loaded walks to tie the game. Grieve then laced an RBI-single to right field to give the Leopards the 4-3 lead. Lafayette scored five more runs on two two-run singles by freshman Alex Barrist and senior Kaleb Willis along with an RBI-bunt single by senior Easton Brenner. Lafayette led 9-3.

In the second, St. Peter's cut into the Leopards' lead, bringing the score to 9-4 on a sacrifice fly by Ashby Vining. Lafayette quickly responded in the bottom of the frame. Ethan Swidler blasted a grand slam to left field to extend the Lafayette lead to 13-4.

The Leopards stretched their margin to 15-6 on a two-run single by Zarrillo.

The Peacocks scored three runs in the fifth, cutting into the Lafayette lead, 15-9. In the bottom of the inning, Grieve gave Lafayette a 16-9 lead on an RBI-single to left field.

St. Peter's countered with another solo run in the sixth, bringing the tally to 16-10. The Maroon and White scored six more runs in the bottom of the inning, coming on a Barrist RBI-double, a two-run single by Zarrillo, an error, a wild pitch and RBI-single by freshman Liam Ebbs, making the score 22-10.

The Peacocks brought the score to 22-11 in the top of the seventh, and at that point, with runners on first and second and a 2-0 count on pinch hitter Brendon Wilson, the game was called after discussion between the umpiring crew and St. Peter's head coach. 

Freshman Trey Zaffiro collected his second win of the season, working one inning, giving up three runs and four hits, while striking out two. Charlie Berryman took the loss, allowing five runs and a hit without recording an out.

The Lafayette Nine are next in action when they host Navy on Saturday for a doubleheader at 12 p.m.
