ALLIANCE, Ohio (March 21, 2010) – Starting pitcher James Teyssier (McKees Rocks, Pa./Montour) won his third game of the spring on Sunday afternoon as the Tomcats downed Mount Union (Ohio) College, 7-3, at 23rd Street Field. The Tomcat victory haulted a three-game win streak by the Purple Raiders and raised Thiel's record to 7-5.

Mount Union fell to 7-3 with the setback.

Thiel held the advantage from start to finish, but put the nail in the Raiders' proverbial coffin with a four-run seventh inning.

Teyssier allowed only three hits in seven innings of work to improve to 3-1 on the young season. The junior struckout four and allowed one run. Senior Dave Diyorio (Youngstown, Ohio/Austintown Fitch) pitched the game's final two innings.

The Tomcat offense pounded out 12 hits on the afternoon, led by sophomore catcher Brock Porter (Duncansville, Pa./Hollidaysburg) who went 3-for-5. Jake Thomas (Canton, Ohio/Massillon Jackson) played a pivitol role in the Thiel offense notching two hits and driving in a game-high five runs.

Senior Luke Johnson (Rochester, Pa./Rochester) and freshman Eric King (Butler, Pa./Butler) each scored a pair of runs for the Tomcats.

Thiel returns to action on Friday when open their PAC schedule at Waynesburg at 3 p.m.
