Game Coverage: Live Stats | Northeast-10 Conference Standings
ALBANY - The College of Saint Rose is set to welcome Southern Connecticut State University to Albany for a
Northeast-10 Conference doubleheader this afternoon. Game one is set for noon from Bob Bellizzi Field at the Plumeri Sports Complex.
Last Time Out
Host Le Moyne College got a timely base hit in the third, although the hurlers from both squads were virtually untouchable all afternoon as the Dolphins walked away with a 1-0 NE-10 victory over Saint Rose on Thursday. Senior southpaw
Justin Brooks recorded six strikeouts and walked only one in 8.0 innings of action for the Golden Knights. Brooks scattered seven hits along the way, only one for extra bases. Le Moyne, which is ranked #14 in the latest
Collegiate Baseball Newspaper NCAA Division II Poll, received 8.1 strong innings from junior right-hander Casey Cannon. Cannon yielded only three hits and registered four strikeouts. Sophomore right fielder
Brian Maynard worked a walk to lead off the sixth and stole second following a pair of flyball outs. He was stranded in scoring position after junior catcher #A.J. Capone# flied out. In the ninth, Capone smacked a leadoff single but was later caught stealing. Junior shortstop
Kyle Charron was then issued a walk to chase Cannon from the mound. However, junior right-hander Kevin Carroll came out of the pen and retired the final two Saint Rose batters in order.
