Baseball Ends Spring Trip on High Note with First Win in Program History Over Lynn University, 5-4

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Sometimes all it takes is one, and one is all it took for Post University Baseball to snap its three-game losing streak on Sunday morning against Lynn University in the final game of the Boca Raton, Florida, trip this weekend. Junior first baseman Evan Urglavitch hit his first home run as an Eagle, a grand slam, during a five-run fourth inning for Post to help them beat the Fighting Knights for the first time in program history, 5-4. 

THE BASICS

Post University 5, Lynn University 4

Post University (6-10)

Lynn University (8-11)

HOW IT HAPPENED
For Lynn, they would be the first to score against freshman right-hander Hector Cuevas, who made his first collegiate start for the Eagles on Sunday, as junior infielder Justin Lopez's RBI single in the second inning, along with an RBI double in the third inning from junior infielder Joel Tapia-Melo, made it a 2-0 lead with Cuevas on the mound. The freshman would end up picking up his first collegiate win, going five innings in which he allowed three runs on six hits with four strikeouts and four walks, along with one hit batter. But a five-run fourth would be all Post needed to come away with the victory and snap that three-game skid.

Sophomore pitcher Justyn Hart would be charged with the first three runs while junior right-hander Landon Petrisko was charged with the other two, as the inning started with a single by graduate outfielder Andrew Hartman, followed by Hart hitting senior catcher Manny Contreras to put runners on first and second with nobody out. Now with the bases loaded, sophomore outfielder Jayren Foster would get Post on the board with his RBI groundout as Petrisko took the mound following a walk to load the bases by Hart. Once again loaded with one out, Urglavitch came to the dish and took the first pitch out of the park, giving the Eagles their first lead of the day, 5-2.

That would be all they needed as Lynn would get one back in the fifth on an RBI single from senior infielder Amaris Harrison and a throwing error by junior infielder Jesse Alfalla in the eighth inning. However, the Eagle bullpen led by freshman right-handers JJ Roberts and Andrew Hardin. The duo combined to allow one unearned run on five hits with three strikeouts and a walk to hold down the 5-4 victory. Lynn's bullpen after Petrisko held the Eagle bats in check with five scoreless innings allowed only two hits while striking out four and walking one.

BY THE NUMBERS
  • Evan Urglavitch hit his first home run for Post University, a grand slam, to finish the game 1-for-4 with four RBIs in the victory
  • Andrew Hardin earned his third save of the season on the mound for Post University, throwing a scoreless ninth inning -- Hardin has now had three consecutive scoreless appearances for the Eagles
  • This is the first time in program history that Post University has defeated Lynn University after they dropped their first four matchups against the Fighting Knights since the 2008 season
  • Evan Cornwell did not play in today's game, as his career hit total remains at 156 hits, Cornwell is 37 hits away from tying Dan Luisi for the most hits in program history at Post University
 
WHO'S NEXT
Post University opens conference play in tandem with its first home game of the season at Municipal Stadium against Caldwell University on Wednesday at 12:00 PM in a doubleheader. The Eagles have won 13 consecutive games against the Cougars since the beginning of the 2022 season.
