 All Siena needed was some reinforcements.

Entering Friday's doubleheader vs. St. Peter's, Tony Rossi's Saints got some much needed help when redshirt sophomore Brett Young (Albany Academy) was finally granted a waiver from the NCAA. Young started all four games over the two days vs. the Peacocks in the outfield, just as he was at Virginia Commonwealth last year in a shortened season.

All Young did was go 10-15 in the series (.667 batting average) with a home run and 6 RBI. Siena swept all four games in convincing fashion as they're making a late run toward the MAAC tournament next month.

Saturday's doubleheader was a showcase for two pitchers who've mostly worked out of the bullpen this season.

In the opener, Arlo Marynczak (Bethlehem) hurled the 3rd no-hitter in school history, giving up only an unearned run as the result of two walks and an error in the 6th inning, as Siena blew out St. Peter's, 14-1. Another Albany Academy alum, Brooks Knapek, a graduate transfer from VCU, pitched a complete game shutout in the nightcap, with Siena completing the sweep, 7-0.

Rossi has already said that Marynczak, and, presumably, Knapek as well, will return to the bullpen. Marynczak, a junior, may have auditioned for a spot in the rotation next season.
