MOUNT UNION -- Mount Union baseball drubbed Penns Valley, 9-0, on Friday.
The Trojans scored five times in the first inning and three times in the fifth frame.
"I thought we played a great game. We got back to playing Mount Union baseball," Trojans coach Tim Hicks said. "Our pitchers threw strikes. The defense made every play in the field and our offense got the hits when we needed them."
Bryce Danish nearly went the distance for the Trojans and pitched six innings and had seven strikeouts. Ryan Scott finished the game off in the seventh and collected two strikeouts.
"I thought Bryce (Danish) had great control," Hicks said. "Our catcher Braylan Knable did a great job throwing guys out which definitely helps the pitcher out and Ryan Scott came in and did a great job finishing the game."
Scott along with Ryan Plank each went 2-for-3 at the plate and both also drove in two runs each. Ja'Saun Robinson had a hit which was for a double.
Mount Union (11-0) will travel to do battle with Claysburg-Kimmel on Monday at 4 p.m.
