BERKELEY, Calif. – Freshman right-hander Thomas Ponticelli turned in his best outing of his brief collegiate career by throwing seven innings of one-run ball while striking out a team season-best six hitters en route to his first-career win on Wednesday evening, an 8-1 victory over UMass Lowell at Evans Diamond.
"It felt great," said Ponticelli. "It felt amazing. I was waiting for it. In the beginning, I started out a little rocky, but I settled in around the fourth inning and I started attacking low in the zone and mixing up my pitches well.
