Villanova hands Bonnies convincing defeat

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — After producing double figure hits in each of its last four games, St. Bonaventure hit a bit of a snag at plate on Saturday morning en roué to a 14-1 loss to Big East foe Villanova at the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational.

The win improves the Wildcats to an impressive 10-1 on the season, while the Brown and White had their two-game win streak snapped. The Bonnies now stand at 2-5 with two games remaining on the trip.

Villanova sophomore Kyle McMyne tossed six strong innings to pick up his second win of the season. McMyne struck out six and gave up just three hits.

Two of St. Bonaventure four hits came off the bats of freshman Billy Urban and Jesse Bosnik who extended their hit streaks to six and five games, respectively. Urban also drove in the only run of the game with a groundout to short in the third inning.

The Wildcats plated four run in the bottom of the second inning off of starter Dennis Sherba to take the early lead. Villanova then followed with runs in the third, fifth and sixth innings before a seven-run seventh blew the game wide open.

Sherba lasted 5.2 innings before being relieved by sophomore Jordan Crane. Crane finished off the final 2.1 innings despite getting touched up during the seven-run seventh.

With just two games remaining, St. Bonaventure will look to rebound against Sacred Heart on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. The Bonnies will send junior Cael Johnson to the mound. Johnson's first start of the season against Northeastern was cut short due to a rain delay.
