SAINT ROSE EDGES PAST AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL

ALBANY–The College of Saint Rose turned the tide of close encounters this spring with tonight's 3-2 victory against visiting Northeast-10 Conference rival American International. The Golden Knights (4-18/3-6 NE10) entered the day 0-6 in one-run games, but used some clutch pitching and hitting to chalk up their third straight win.
 
"We got great pitching and a few timely hits to grab the victory. We've been in lot of close games this year and are battle-tested. The guys have stuck together and are not afraid of tight games," said head coach Wayne Jones.
 
Saint Rose pushed across the winning run in the eighth when senior third baseman Alex Chandler drew a one-out walk and junior first baseman Joe Foran slapped a base hit through the right side that put runners at the corners. Foran then moved ahead 90 feet on a wild pitch and senior designated hitter Joe DeLuca was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
 
Senior shortstop Tyler Ungerland then looped a one out base hit to short left field over a drawn-in infield that brought across Chandler with the eventual winning run.
 
Senior right-hander Carmine Vricciariello retired the Yellow Jackets (8-18/4-8 NE10) in order in the ninth to pick up the save.
 
Saint Rose struck early with a pair of runs in the first, before American International broke through with one in the fourth and another in the fifth.
 
In the first, freshman second baseman Andrew Pedone drew a one-out walk, Chandler singled, and then Foran walked to fill the bases. DeLuca took advantage of the moment by roping a two-run base hit to center that staked senior southpaw Joe Pokrentowski to an early lead.
 
Pokrentowski wound up surrendering just two runs, one earned, on seven hits throughout 7.0 innings of work. He also fanned a pair in a no-decision outing and capped his evening in style by registering back-to-back strikeouts after American International had put the potential winning run on third. Junior right-hander Caleb Gregg worked around a base hit in the eighth to pick up the win.

Chandler went 2-for-3 with a pair of runs scored while Foran finished 1-for-3 to extend his hit streak to seven games.
 
For the Yellow Jackets, freshman left fielder Matt Krause went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in the fifth. Freshman righty Ryan Bruning scatted two hits and fanned five in 7.0 innings of work on the bump.
 
Looking ahead, the Golden Knights have a three game NE10 series at Adelphi on Friday and Saturday, while the Yellow Jackets host Bloomfield Thursday in non-conference action.
