Millersville’s Gallagher steals all three bases, Marauders steal game one

KUTZTOWN, Pa. — Dom Fantanarosa (sr. Coatesville/Coatesville) hit his first career home run on Senior Day, but the Golden Bears fell 4-3 to the Marauders in game one of their doubleheader Saturday at North Campus Field.

Fantanarosa’s solo homer in the bottom of the second tied the game at 1-1.

His homer equaled the run scored by Mile Gallagher in the top half of the inning, and it came in the most unusual way.

Gallagher walked to lead off the second inning and proceeded to steal second, third and home for the 1-0 lead.

James Quigley (so. Bensalem/Bensalem) also hit a home run for KU, hitting a two-run shot in the fifth inning to knot the game at 3.

Millersville rallied in the top of the seventh, though, to retake the lead. Lance Miller doubled to left field and scored on an RBI single by Adam Boyd. Boyd finished 2-for-4 with two RBIs.

Maini shuts down Millersville, KU win 3-0

KUTZTOWN, Pa. — Adam Maini (jr. Macungie/Emmaus) pitched a complete-game three-hit shutout to lead the Kutztown University baseball team to a 3-0 win and doubleheader split with the Marauders.

Maini limited Millersvilles to only six baserunners the entire game and allowed only one to reach third base. He struck out seven to earn his sixth win of the season.

On the offensive end, KU was led by Mike Kacelowicz (jr. Orwigsburg/Blue Mountain), who finished a perfect 3-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base.

Michael Dugan (so. Ocean City, N.J./Ocean City) was 2-for-3 with an RBI double in the fourth inning to give the Golden Bears a 1-0 lead.

KU tacked on one run each in the fifth and sixth to get their 3-0 lead.

Matt Kulbacki (jr. Hershey/Hershey) had an RBI single in the fifth.

Brett Wigder (so. Trumbull, Conn./Trumbull) had a sacrifice bunt to in the sixth to score Jared Frey (so. Mohrsville/Schuylkill Valley), who doubled to earlier in the inning.
