ALBANY – The College of Saint Rose got the tying run in scoring position in the bottom of the ninth, but the visiting Owls held on for a 2-1 victory in
Northeast-10 Conference action today at
Bob Bellizzi Field at the Plumeri Sports Complex. Junior catcher
Lukas Nethaway doubled to left center field with one out in the ninth to bring the winning run to the plate. He advanced to third on a groundout by junior second baseman

The Owls (19-13-1/13-7 NE-10) scored the first run of today's contest in the second thanks to an RBI double off the bat of junior left fielder Brandon Docimo. Saint Rose responded a half inning later with an RBI single from Hooker that scored freshman third baseman
Tyler Ungerland.
Southern Connecticut regained the lead in the ninth on a base-hit by senior right fielder Kyle Holland, scoring Docimo from second base. Holland went 2-for-4 with an RBI to lead the Owls.
