READING, Pa.—Junior outfielder Mohammed Hussein blasted a three-run home run in the seventh inning and finished with two hits to lead Keystone College to a 9-6 victory over Penn St. Berks Wednesday afternoon.

Junior Dakota McFadden had three hits and junior Chris Panzarella doubled and drove in two runs as the Giants scored five runs in the last three innings to erase a 6-4 deficit to extend their winning streak to eight games. 

Senior reliever Tyler Widitz picked up his team-leading fifth save of the season by holding Penn St. Berks hitless in 2.1 innings and senior Emilio Gonzalez-De Olio picked up his first win of the season by going three innings, striking out three, and allowing only three hits in relief of starter Nathan Hinkley.

Hussein gave the Giants the lift they so sorely needed by blasting an 0-1 pitch over the left center field fence for his first home run of the season.  He is now batting .386 on the season.

Keystone returns to action Thursday afternoon against Drew University at Christy Mathewson Field in La Plume starting at 3:30 p.m.
