Baseball Drops Season Finale
The Muhlenberg baseball team wrapped up its 2024 season with a 13-5 loss at DeSales.

Among the seniors who played in their final game, Ryan Riccio went 2-for-4 and scored two runs, Nick Whelan (pictured above) was 2-for-4 with an RBI single, Jake Braet singled and drove in a run, Nick Belli reached base in three plate appearances and scored twice, Jonathan Toth turned an unassisted double play at third base, and Andrew DeLucia tossed a scoreless inning.
Another senior, pitcher Sam Kelstein, made his batting debut and drove in a run with a groundout.
Riccio finished the season with 55 hits - the ninth most in a season in program history - and a .357 batting average.
