Vulgamore, Kohn Homer and Bobcats' Pitching Quiets Paladins

By: QU Athletic Communications

GREENVILLE, S.C. – Evan Vulgamore (Bow, New Hampshire) drove in three RBIs with a double and a two-run home run Tuesday night as the Quinnipiac baseball team dominated the Furman Paladins, 8-2, at Latham Stadium.

The Bobcats scored five runs in the first three innings to jump out to an early 5-1 lead and the Quinnipiac pitching staff shut down the Furman hitters, allowing just three hits, in solid team victory over the Paladins.

Vulgamore launched a two-run home run just two batters into Tuesday's game to take a 2-0 lead and the Bobcats never looked back en route to the win. Dylan Lutz (Denver, Colorado) scored on a wild pitch in the second inning and Andre Marrero (West Springfield, Massachusetts) scored on a throwing error as he stole third to double the early lead.

Michael Kohn (Rockville, Maryland) continued his early tear as he lifted a home run to left centerfield for his third of the season in the third inning before the Bobcats added three runs in the sixth and ninth innings with two outs in each inning.

Arthur Correira (Rehoboth, Massachusetts) was solid in his fourth start of the season as he allowed just one unearned run on two hits with two strikeouts in five innings before giving way to Nick Paasch (Tolland, Connecticut) and Robert Lewis (Seaford, New York) who combined to strike out eight batters in four innings.

Lewis had one of the most impressive innings of the night as he struck out the side in the bottom of the eighth inning on just 11 pitches against the Paladins.
