WORCESTER, MA. – In an uncharacteristic performance, the Pace University baseball team fell in both games of Sunday's doubleheader to Assumption University. The Setters dropped game one, 1-6, and game two, 2-3. The Blue and Gold now sit at 20-12 overall, and 10-7 in the Northeast-10.  

Game One 

A three-run inning in the second was enough for Assumption to hold the lead in game one. Pace tallied one run in the sixth inning off a Mason Baronian RBI which would be all the Setter offense could manage in the game.  

The top of the order for the Greyhounds was productive in the contest combining five hits and five runs batted in. Evan Remington pitched seven innings allowing three hits and no runs.  

For Pace, Dylan Koch went 2-for-2 with a walk while Baronian drove in an RBI in a 1-for-4 performance.  

Game Two (7 innings) 

In the second game of the doubleheader, Sean Costello took the mound for Pace tossing 5.1 innings allowing one run off three hits with five strikeouts. After the first three innings remained scoreless, Assumption tallied the first run of the game with a sacrifice fly. Heading into the sixth, the score favored Assumption, 1-0.  

Following a run scored on a wild pitch the Blue and Gold swiped the lead from Assumption after a George Provel single up the middle. After six innings, Pace held a 2-1 advantage. The lead did not hold for long as the Greyhounds rallied to bring two runs across in the final innings, walking off the Setters.  

Griffin O'Connor tossed a complete game for Assumption allowing two runs with five strikeouts. The top of the lineup produced efficiently again for the Greyhounds combining for six hits and three RBIs.  

Up Next 

Wednesday at 3:00 p.m., the Setters travel to Sparkill, N.Y. for a match-up against Saint Thomas Aquinas College.
