Freshmen Hurlers Lead Gannon to 6-2 Win over Findlay

WINTER HAVEN, Flor. – Three pitchers combined on a four-hitter as the Gannon baseball team improved to 2-1 with a 6-2 win over Findlay on Monday. It marked the second straight day the Golden Knights defeated the Oilers after outslugging them 11-8 in yesterday's season opener.

Jared Bielanin (Erie, Pa./McDowell) opened the inning with a double and came around to score on Trey Zeroski's (Clinton, Pa./West Allegheny) second double of the game.
