Another masterful pitching performance by junior Matthew D'Ambrosia lifted the Muhlenberg baseball team to a 6-1 win in the second game and a split of its doubleheader at Penn State Berks.

The Mules (7-4) dropped the first game, 6-3, in their first action since returning from Florida a week ago.

D'Ambrosia allowed only four hits and struck out eight in his second consecutive complete-game win. The Nittany Lions (6-5) scored their lone run in the first inning on a single, groundout, wild pitch and passed ball. D'Ambrosia, who has not allowed an earned run in 19 innings this season, retired nine straight batters in one stretch and ended the game with a strikeout.

Muhlenberg manufactured the only two runs it would need in the top of the first when junior John Serruto led off with a walk and senior Seth Wasserman reached on a bunt single. After a sacrifice bunt by senior Chris Grillo, Serruto scored on a wild pitch and Wasserman came home on a single by junior Jack Avallone (pictured above).

The Mules took advantage of another leadoff walk in the second, plating three more runs with the help of a bases-loaded walk, infield error and hits by Serruto and junior Sam Arnold.

Junior Michael Martinez doubled - one of his two hits in the game - and scored on a single by junior Billy Brittingham for the final run in the fifth.

Muhlenberg also scored in the top of the first of the opening game, but Penn State Berks came back to take a 5-1 lead after four and held on for the win. Senior Matt Riebesell hit a pair of run-scoring singles, and among Grillo's two hits was a double that moved him into a tie for fifth place on the program's all-time list with 32 career two-baggers.
