The Muhlenberg baseball team had a rough offensive day to open its Spring Break trip to Myrtle Beach, getting shut out twice by Fredonia, 1-0 and 9-0.

The Mules (2-2) got a strong performance in the opener from junior Timmy Pilrun (pictured above), who scattered four hits and struck out two in four scoreless innings. The Blue Devils (2-1) scratched out the lone run of the game in the bottom of the fifth.

Senior Thomas Yohe and junior Eric Reitmeyer accounted for the only two Muhlenberg hits off the hard-throwing Fredonia pitcher.

The second game was 2-0 before the Blue Devils broke it open with seven runs in the top of the sixth.

Sophomore Chris Grillo had two singles for the Mules, who left the bases loaded in the first in their best chance to score. Freshman John Serruto recorded his first career hit in the fourth, and freshman Max Krinsky pitched a scoreless inning with two strikeouts in his collegiate debut.
