SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Two Le Moyne pitchers combined to limit The College of Saint Rose to a pair of hits and thus hand the Golden Knights a 3-0 setback in today's
Northeast-10 Conference Southwest Division encounter on the Onondaga Community College campus.
Â
In the process, the 22nd-ranked Dolphins (20-6/6-0 NE10) thwarted a solid outing by Saint Rose (9-10/2-2 NE10) junior left-hander
Greg Musk to win their sixth straight. Musk allowed just a pair of earned runs and fanned six, with only one walk, in 7.0 innings of action.
Â
Freshman center fielder
Connor Farrington and junior right fielder
Alexander Koshgarian accounted for the two Golden Knights base hits.
Â
Sophomore left fielder Justin Tuey and senior center fielder Brian Cox both finished 2-for-3, while sophomore third baseman Nicholas Jacques belted a lead-off home run in the eighth to propel the Le Moyne offense. On the bump, freshman southpaw Joe Vail hurled 5.0 innings of one-hit ball and freshman right-hander Sam Byrnes matched the effort throughout the final 4.0 frames.
Â
Looking ahead, Saint Rose is scheduled to play its home opener Wednesday with a 3:00 pm non-league doubleheader versus Saint Joseph's (Vt.). Meanwhile, Le Moyne is off until next Saturday when it travels to Worcester to take on league rival Assumption for a noon twin-bill.
Notes: Senior third baseman
Joe Foran has now reached base in 18 consecutive games after being hit by a pitch and drawing a walk today. Musk has now allowed only two earned runs throughout his last three appearances that encompass 21.0 innings of work.
