SLIPPERY ROCK — The DuBois Beavers offense poured it on early against Moniteau on Thursday at Slippery Rock University, scoring eight first-inning runs before an out was recorded en route to a 14-1, five-inning mercy-rule win.

DuBois hammered out 15 hits, seven of which were of the extra-base variety, highlighted by Madix Clark’s first-inning grand slam that capped the eight-run frame and a two-run shot by Bryson Kail to make it 10-0 early in the second.

Easton Harris also tripled, and four DuBois players — Adam Drahushak, Isaac Dennison, Noah Farrell and Samson Deeb — doubled. Trey Wingard had three hits and three RBIs, and Brody Knouse also went 3-for-3.

Deeb got the ball rolling for DuBois in the first by drawing a walk, and after he stole second, Wingard ripped a single to center to plate him and make it 1-0. Wingard then stole second and scored on a double to center by Farrell, and he came in to score on Mason Dinkfelt’s hard grounder through the right side to make it 3-0.

Kail then walked, and Knouse singled to load the bases, and when Drahushak was hit by a pitch, it forced Dinkfelt home and made it 4-0, setting the stage for Clark who powered one out of the park to left to double the lead and make it 8-0.

DuBois got right back to it in the top of the second, with Dinkfelt leading off with a single to set up Kail’s two-run dinger. Then, Knouse singled and Walker Thomas was hit by a pitch with two outs, setting up an RBI double to center by Deeb and a two-run single up the middle by Wingard to make it 13-0.

Moniteau got one back in the bottom of the third when No. 9 hitter Blaine Jamison singled and leadoff hitter Ian Ross tripled to plate him, making it 13-1 through three.

DuBois got the game’s final run in the top of the fourth courtesy of a one-out triple to right by Harris and a two-out, run-scoring double, also to the right side, by Dennison, making it 14-1.

Grady Galiczynski pitched the first four innings, allowing the one earned run on four hits and striking out three to earn the win, and Jonathan Reed pitched a 1-2-3 fifth to close out the win.

DuBois remained perfect with the win, improving to 5-0 on the season, while fell to 2-3. The Beavers will host Bradford on Monday.
