Philadelphia, PA- The Philadelphia University baseball team (8-16, 6-8 CACC) lost both doubleheader games vs. Post University (16-18, 7-7 CACC) on a windy Saturday (4/17) afternoon.  Post took the first game 6-2 and the second 3-1 in their conference match up.

The Rams junior pitcher Kevin McGovern (Philadelphia, PA/Archbishop Ryan) started the first game off at the mound getting five strike-outs.  Senior pitcher Eric Miele (East Brunswick, NJ/East Brunswick) stepped in, in the ninth inning to finish the game.

Going into the sixth inning, the Eagles were winning 3-0.  The Rams came up in the bottom scoring two runs.  Freshman utility player Jeffery Bohus (Cherry Hill, NJ/Cherry Hill East) hit a double to right field, bringing in freshman catcher Kevin Gibbs (Pitman, NJ/Pitman).  Gibbs also scored on a hit from senior first baseman Rob Fisher (Langhorne, PA/Archbishop Ryan), making it 3-2.

The Eagles came back in the seventh answering with their own two runs and scoring one more in the ninth to make it 6-2.

In the second game, senior pitcher Brian Rousseau (Wantagh, NY/Wantagh) started the game on the mound, with junior pitcher Jared Farbman (Philadelphia, PA/Central) relieving him in the fifth inning.

Post scored all three of their runs in the fourth inning, but PhilaU was not able to react.  The Rams lone run came in the ninth inning from senior short-stop Tyler Mentzer (Gettysburg, PA/Delone Catholic).

The Rams will host the University of the Sciences tomorrow (4/18) for a non-conference match-up starting at 12:00 p.m.  The winner of game one will play in the Bill Giles Tournament at Citizens Bank Park later this week.
