PITTSBURGH, Pa. – La Roche baseball took on Penn State New Kensington on Tuesday afternoon and in the frigid temperatures, iced the Lions, 13-0.

La Roche wasted no time hitting the scoreboard, bringing 10 to the plate in the bottom of the first inning, taking a 4-0 lead.

Andy Sopata, Caden Maffitt and Larry Bielawski all delivered RBI singles in the frame, while Christian Melendez came through with an RBI double.

The Redhawks tacked on a pair of runs in the bottom of the second, as Maffitt brought in a run with an RBI double and Melendez then made it 6-0 with an RBI double.

Three more runs scored for La Roche in the bottom of the third, beginning with an Alex Perez solo homer, Ricky Heyz scoring on a double steal and an RBI ground out by Brandon Snyder.

Sopata delivered his second RBI of the game in the bottom of the fifth on a fielder's choice, then the final three runs came in the bottom of the seventh, first by Heyz scoring on a wild pitch, then a two RBI single by Melendez, giving him four RBI on the day.

Bryson Bubb shined on the mound, tossing a complete game, allowing just two hits, two walks and struck out three.

Offensively, the Redhawks collected 17 hits off Lion pitching, with Dreyer and Melendez both having three hits, while Sopata, Maffitt, Bielawski and Heyz all had two each.
