Mike Vukovcan The Pitt baseball team continued their 3-game series in the state of Texas and put on their most dominant performance of the young season.
On Friday, the Panthers started the weekend with a 6-2 win over Long Beach State and followed that up on Saturday with a 14-0 shutout over Cal State Bakersfield. It’s Pitt’s first shoutout win since April 30, 2025, when they blanked Akron 11-0.
When your team scores 14 runs, the offense normally would be the headline but that wasn’t the case as left-hander Vincent Spizzoucco was what everyone was talking about.
In his second start of the season, Spizzoucco pitched 7 scoreless innings, allowed just 1 hit and struck out six batters.
When you put up 14 runs, many players contribute offensively and that was the case in this game, including former Hopewell standout Anthony LaSala.
LaSala entered the game late and logged his first hit and RBI of the season in the top of the 9th inning.
Taking a look at the Pitt Box Score:
*Lorenzo Carrier clubbed an opposite field homerun and drove in 4 runs in the game, including a 2-run RBI single in the 1st inning.
*OF Julian Irizarry went 2-2, with 2 walks and 2 RBIs (hitting .500 on the season).
*SS Caden Dulin went 2-2, with 2 walks, 2 RBIs and 3 runs scored.
*3B Kai Wagner with 2 RBI
*DH Sebastian Pisacreta went 2-3, 2 runs scored.
With the win, Pitt improves their record to 4-1 and will finish the weekend this afternoon taking on the host school Texas A&M Corpus Christi. RHP Drew Lafferty will get the start for Mike Bell’s team.
