ERIE, Pa.–Four earned runs in the seventh and eighth innings were the difference as the Jamestown Community College baseball team fell to Gannon University junior varsity, 4-1, in their first game of the season.

“Even though it was a loss, it was a clean game,” Jayhawks head coach Jordan Basile said. “Considering we were playing a Division II school, I thought we played pretty well for our first time out.”

Evan Harrison pitched six innings of one-hit, shutout ball on 72 pitches, striking out eight and waking one. Shaun Holyfield, who recorded the loss, allowed one hit and two earned runs, striking out two.

Center-fielder Paul Tripi went 3-for-4, while right-fielder Cole Tippens went 2-for-3 with a triple. Billy Harmon recorded the lone RBI for the Jayhawks.

The Jayhawks will be back in action on March 21 with a doubleheader at the CC of Allegheny County.
