SAVANNAH, Ga. (March 10) – Despite collecting 15 hits on Wednesday, the Vulcans suffered a 14-5 loss to Concord (W.Va.), a NCAA Tournament qualifier last year, at the Savannah Invitational.

With its second loss to the Lions in the last three days, the California University of Pennsylvania baseball teams falls to 5-5 this season.

Junior Sean Welsh (Doylestown, Pa./Central Bucks East) led the Vulcans with three hits, while classmate Adam Links (New Hope, Pa./Central Bucks East) and sophomore Anthony Lamont (Clinton, Pa./South Side Beaver) each added two hits in the loss.

The game featured a stark contrast of experience on the hill with All-American hurler Donovan Huffer starting for Concord, while redshirt freshman Mark Zelena (Munhall, Pa./Steel Valley) making his first career start for the Vulcans .

Zelena suffered the loss for Cal U and was unable to get out of the first inning after being roughed up for six runs on two hits and four walks. Sophomore August Kerr (Houston, Pa./Chartiers-Houston) helped ease the short outing by tossing six innings of relief.

The Vulcans are idle for a day before opening Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West play with a four-game series against Slippery Rock at the Savannah Invitational, beginning with a doubleheader on Friday, March 12, 12 p.m.
