ALBANY–The College of Saint Rose jumped out to a 3-0 first inning lead and then added a run in the second and four more in the third on the way to today's 9-0
Northeast-10 Conference victory against visiting New Haven.
Â
Senior southpaw
Joe Pokrentowski allowed just four hits and fanned seven over the distance to pick up the win.
Â
Freshman second baseman
Andrew Pedone went 3-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs while senior catcher
Joe DeLuca and junior first baseman
Joe Foran each belted two run singles to propel the Golden Knights (5-24/4-12 NE10) offense.
Â
"Joe Pokrentowski had a great outing and it was nice to have a game where we hit, pitched, and played great defensively," said head coach
Wayne Jones.
Â
Foran provided most of the damage in the first, Pedone drove home junior center fielder
Matt McKinnon in the second, and DeLuca came through in the fourth. Senior third baseman
Alex Chandler was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the eighth to account for the final run.
Â
Senior third baseman Jack Zagaja finished 2-for-4 with a double for the Chargers (18-9/9-7 NE10).
Â
Looking ahead, Saint Rose has games at Southern Connecticut State and Le Moyne on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. They return home next weekend to host Pace for a three-game set. Meanwhile, New Haven has a non-league date at Post University on Tuesday.
