Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 ALBANY – The College of Saint Rose took advantage of an outstanding pitching performance to rally from a 2-0 deficit on the way to a 4-2 victory in the opener of a Northeast-10 Conference divisional doubleheader this afternoon versus Adelphi at Bob Bellizzi Field at the Plumeri Sports Complex. The Panthers then put together an 11-hit attack to take the finale 5-0.

Senior right-hander Kris Barone settled in after surrendering a two-run homer in the first and was spectacular the rest of the way for the Golden Knights (13-26/6-18 NE-10) in game one. Barone gave up just a pair of runs on seven hits and fanned nine without issuing a walk over the distance to pick up the win.

Saint Rose went ahead 3-2 in the fifth on a sacrifice by freshman second baseman Ryan Hooker, an error and a wild pitch. A leadoff triple by sophomore third baseman Jevonte Osterhout in the sixth followed by a sacrifice fly from senior first baseman Nick Polsinelli closed out the scoring.

In the top of the sixth, Barone stranded what represented the tying the run at third and then faced just one batter above the minimum the rest of the way.

Seven different players had one hit a piece for the Golden Knights. Junior first baseman Anthony Zarrella homered in the first, while senior center fielder Justin Farnum and senior left fielder Jamie Liebowitz had two hits each for the Panthers (21-19/10-14 NE-10).

In the second game, Liebowitz set the tone with a three-run homer over the left field fence in the third. The Panthers then added a run in the fifth and tacked on one more in the eighth. Sophomore right fielder Justin Lewis finished 2-for-4 with a stolen base to lead the Saint Rose offense, which stranded three runners in both the fifth and seventh innings.

Looking ahead, the two teams are scheduled to conclude their three-game weekend series with a 12:00 pm start tomorrow at Bellizzi Field. Eight Saint Rose student-athletes will be honored during a brief pregame ceremony as part of “Senior Day” festivities.
