Last Time Out: The College of Saint Rose opened up an early 2-0 lead in the opener and pounded out a season-high 14 hits in the nightcap to complete a doubleheader sweep versus Bryant and Stratton Sunday afternoon at the Schenectady Central Park "A" Diamond. The Golden Knights, who had their originally scheduled weekend series at Northeast-10 Conference rival Southern Connecticut State postponed due to established institutional and conference health protocols, scored a run in both the first and second innings to take the matinee 3-1. They then rallied from a 6-4, fifth inning deficit to capture the finale 9-7.
