Esposito registers his first career home run on Saturday
Freshman Zane Probst (Mill Hall, Pa.) and sophomore Aaron Groller (Harleysville, Pa.), who fanned two batters, tossed two innings of scoreless relief for the Pirates. At the plate, sophomore Staus Pokrovsky ( Pittsgrove, N.J.) went 3-for-4 with a run scored.
Grober's solo home run was the fourth of his career and it put The Hall on the scoreboard in the top of the sixth. Esposito came on as a pinch hitter in the top of the ninth and rocketed his three-run blast to left field.
The Pirates will look to salvage the final game of the series on Sunday at 1 p.m. Stream and live stats information can be found on the baseball schedule page on SHUPirates.com.
