Villanova Drops Home Opener To Saint Peter's 5-2

VILLANOVA, PA– Wildcats bats were not enough in their home opener as Saint Peter's won 5–2.
 
A pitching battle was on display at Villanova Ballpark today.  Through the first four innings, only one run was scored which was from a throwing error that gave Villanova the 1-0 lead in the first.  The Peacocks scored five unanswered runs before Villanova answered with one in the ninth.  Pitching and defense were dominate on a cold, windy day in Plymouth Meeting.

  • Patrick Montfort came into the game in the sixth inning.  Montfort pitched two innings allowing no runs, no hits and striking out four.
