Amherst graduate Kyle Hagerich, a freshman, had the biggest pinch-hit of his career when he blasted his second home run of the season, a three-run blast to left field as Mercyhurst exploded for double-digit run totals in each game of Friday afternoon’s doubleheader at Slippery Rock, winning by scores of 10-0 and 19-6. 

Hagerich's homer was off fellow Amherst graduate Tony Naso. 

Mercyhurst improved to 28-9 overall and 10-4 in PSAC West action.
