Last Time Out
Adelphi University scored five consecutive runs to hand Saint Rose a 5-3 setback in a Northeast-10 Conference divisional game Sunday afternoon at Bob Bellizzi Field. In the process, the Panthers took two-of-three in the weekend series. Junior catcher #A.J. Capone#, junior designated hitter
Caleb Gleason, and senior shortstop
Alex Ferenti had two hits each for the Golden Knights.
An RBI double by Ferenti put Saint Rose up 1-0 in the second, before Adelphi junior first baseman Anthony Zarella tied it an inning later with a shot over the right field fence. A walk, two hit batters and a sacrifice fly by sophomore catcher Kevin Hutzel made it 2-1 Panthers heading into the fifth when they added three more.
Saint Rose hung tough and cut its deficit in half in the seventh. Gleason bounced a single to the hole between first and second with the bases loaded. Sophomore left fielder
Scott Hladik then drew a walk to bring across the third run. However, the Golden Knights could not take further advantage as the Panthers staff retired seven of the final eight batters it faced.
