In a hastily arranged matchup between the streaking Penn baseball team and Keystone, the Quakers emerged with an 8-7 victory Wednesday afternoon at Meiklejohn Stadium.
As is typical in a non-Ivy midweek matchup, coach John Cole elected to pitch by committee, with six Quakers seeing time on the mound. Freshman Cody Thomson picked up his fourth win of the season, pitching the final two shutout innings, striking out two.
After allowing the Giants (11-8) back into the game with a five-run fifth inning, Penn (13-10) took the lead in the bottom of the eighth as shortstop Derek Vigoa beat out an infield single, advanced on a wild pitch and scored on a single from freshman second baseman Brandon Engelhardt.
