The Stockton baseball team opened up a 10-2 lead and held on to upset seventh-ranked College of New Jersey 10-9 in an NJAC game at Bernie Robbins Stadium. Jeff Lundell (Henderson, NV/Kentridge (WA)) went 3-4 with a double and two RBI while Scott Fisher (Toms River/TR East) was 3-4 with two runs and two RBI for the Ospreys. Stockton completed a sweep of the two-game season series that also included a 6-3 win on April 7.
Winning pitcher Joe Mihalyi (Hamilton/Nottingham) improved to 5-0 on the season, allowing six runs (three unearned) on eight hits with three strikeouts in 6.1 innings pitched. Stockton scored three runs in the first inning, including a two-run double by Lundell, and the Ospreys added a two-run single by Fisher in the second frame for a 5-0 lead. TCNJ got on the board with a two-run homer to left field in the top of the third for a 5-2 score.
Joe Sacerdote (Deptford/Gloucester Catholic) ripped a three-RBI double to cap a five-run outburst in the fourth inning that increased Stockton’s lead to 10-2. TCNJ roared back with seven runs, five unearned due to two Stockton errors, in the seventh frame to pull within 10-9. Closer John O’Hara (Clayton/Gloucester Catholic) then pitched 2.1 scoreless innings and allowed just one hit to preserve the one-run lead and collect his school-record fifth save of the season in the 10-9 Stockton triumph. |
