GREENVILLE, Pa. – Thiel College's Chris Dunham (Conneaut Lake, Pa./Linesville) delivered two homeruns, but it wasn't enough to lead the no. 20 Tomcats past Mount Union in a, 7-5, ballgame at Tomcat Park Friday afternoon.

Dunham's second and third blasts of the season came in the second and eighth innings with no one aboard. Thiel's senior designated hitter finished 3-for-3 with two RBI and three runs scored.

Thiel mustered only three hits through the contest's first four frames, but the Tomcat bats began to come alive with a two-run fifth which tied the game at, 3-3.

Down, 5-3, in the seventh, Tomcat leftfielder Louie Parilla plated Thiel's fourth run of the game when third baseman Jake Thomas (Canton, Ohio/Massillon Jackson) singled him in from second.

Mount Union's Craig Knott, Cory Slaybaugh, and Dan Henderson each homered to pace the Purple Raider offense.

Thiel (13-4) returns to action – and Presidents' Athletics Conference play – Saturday when they visit Westminster for a 1 p.m. doubleheader.
