Geneseo has enjoyed a three-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will take on the Livonia Bulldogs at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Both teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Last Friday, it was close, but Geneseo sidestepped Haverling for a 3-2 win.
Phillip Dotterweich spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on two hits and racked up 12 Ks. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in three consecutive pitching appearances.
On the hitting side, Geneseo saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Sam Chanler, who went 1-for-2 with an RBI.
Meanwhile, Livonia had already won six in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.8 runs), and they went ahead and made it seven on Friday. They were the clear victor by a 12-1 margin over the Braves.
Geneseo is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last nine games, which provided a nice bump to their 12-5 record this season. As for Livonia, their victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 10-7.
Geneseo couldn't quite finish off Livonia in their previous meeting back in May of 2023 and fell 4-2. Thankfully for Geneseo, Matt Bean (who struck out nine batters over 6.2 innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
