ASTON, Pa. - The Arcadia University baseball team swept a non-conference doubleheader at Immaculata University Saturday in its first two games of the 2016 season. The Knights took game-one 1-0 before taking game-two 10-5.

The Mighty Macs battled back in the bottom of the fifth, scoring five times to tie the score at 5-5. _Dempey scored on a sac fly to get things going in the inning, while Lascomb capped the scoring after going home on Wallace's double to right to knot the score at five all.

Pagan scored on sophomore Drew Coisson's sac-fly, while Zellers later scored on freshman Bryan Gillen's triple to right center. Gillen crossed the plate on Todero's single to left to cap the scoring in the game.

Senior Joseph Warren got the win in game-two after tossing 2.2 scoreless innings of relief, recording a pair of strikeouts while allowing just one hit., Nessel started the game, allowing one run on two hits in four innings and going 2 for 4 with one double, one triple, and three runs scored.
