PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania - April 15, 2026 - Hiram took care of business yet again on Wednesday evening, as the team won a home game despite playing on the road in a 5-1 victory over Chatham.
The win gives the Terriers a 7-7 record in conference play, which ranks sixth in the Presidents' Athletic Conference. The top-six teams at the end of the season will advance to the PAC Tournament, with a conference championship and automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament at stake.
It was a strange sequence of events for Hiram over the last two days, as the team won Game 1 of the doubleheader against the Cougars at home on Tuesday, 12-9. With that game being completed after a two-hour rain delay, the two teams decided to postpone Game 2 of the doubleheader and reschedule for Wednesday; due to conference rules, the two teams played that rescheduled game at Chatham, although Hiram was still the home team in the game.
As for the contest itself, Shea Sievers had the best start of his young collegiate career; the Willoughby, OH native took a no-hitter into the fifth inning before surrendering a triple. That runner was stranded on base and marked the only sign of adversity for the freshman, who finished with a final line of 7 IP, 5 H, 0 R/ER, 1 BB, 6 K.
Hiram did the majority of its damage in the sixth inning, when Luke Snider (triple), Matthew Trimble (double) and Brady Trem (single) knocked in one run apiece to extend the Terriers lead to 4-0. Ethan Ryan also chipped in an RBI single earlier in the game, giving Sievers all the run support he needed to earn his first collegiate win.
The bullpen picked up right where Sievers left off, as Caleb Shreve worked out of a jam in the eighth inning and Cody Horvath worked a scoreless outing for the second time in as many days in the ninth. Amid those quality relief appearances was an RBI single for Trimble, capping off a three-hit day for the senior corner infielder.
The Terriers will look to earn a winning record in conference play on Saturday, when they travel to Waynesburg, PA to take on the Yellow Jackets for a pair of games beginning at 1 p.m.
