Greater Allegheny set the tone immediately in the 1st, using a run-scoring single and a sacrifice fly, then capitalizing on two wild pitches to plate two more and take a 4–0 lead. The middle innings (2nd through 5th) were scoreless as Beaver's pitching settled in and the defense held, but Beaver's offense couldn't break through against strong work on the mound. In the 6th, Greater Allegheny added three more one run came home on a ball put in play, and the big blow was a two-run homer that stretched the margin to 7–0; the 7th closed without further scoring.

Game 2: The game's tone was set quickly as Beaver's offense struggled to string together baserunners, while Greater Allegheny capitalized on its chances in the middle innings to build separation. Beaver managed only a handful of hits and couldn't push a run across, while Greater Allegheny paired timely hitting with steady pitching to control the afternoon from start to finish.
Innings 1–3: The first inning passed scoreless, but the second inning swung the game decisively. Greater Allegheny opened the scoring with an RBI single, then followed with a two-run single and another RBI single to make it 4–0 by the end of the frame. Beaver settled things down in the third, keeping the score where it was, but the early four-run burst left Beaver playing from behind without much room for error.
Innings 4–7: The fourth inning stayed quiet, but Greater Allegheny added on in the fifth with a solo home run to extend the lead. In the sixth, a two-run triple pushed the margin to seven, effectively putting the game out of reach. Beaver couldn't mount a late rally in the seventh, and Greater Allegheny closed out the shutout to finish the day with a 7–0 win. Beaver's record moved to 1–13 (0–2), and the takeaway was clear: the early damage in the second inning and the inability to generate sustained offense defined the result.
Beaver moves to 1-13 and looking forward to a revenge game against Greater Allegheny. Tomorrow at the Beaver Fieldhouse at 1pm and 3pm. Where to stay up to date going to www.psubeaverathletics.com/sports/bsb/2025-2026/schedule
