Summary
Magnus Krieger lit up the scoreboard with two homers, including a three-run blast in Game 2, as the Pirates split a doubleheader against Villanova and walked away with the series win. Game 1 was a nail-biter, won 3-2 on John Higgins’ eighth save, fueled by Krieger’s early homer and clutch small-ball plays. Game 2 saw Villanova rally late to win 11-6, but the Pirates showed grit with Mason Christopher’s solid six-inning start and relentless offense. Up next: a home non-conference showdown with Lehigh.
