SAINT ROSE BEGINS CONFERENCE SLATE WITH A 7-6 WALK-OFF WIN OVER SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE

ALBANY, N.Y.- The College of Saint Rose scored in the bottom of the tenth inning to open Northeast-10 Conference play with a 7-6 victory over a tough Southern Connecticut State team.

Freshman center fielder Vince Venditti delivered the game-winning knock for the Golden Knights in the extra frame, sending a bases loaded, hard grounder up the middle to bring home sophomore catcher Derek Haughey.

Prior to the walk-off hit, Venditti helped Saint Rose come back from a 6-5 deficit in the bottom of the ninth when he followed a triple by junior third baseman Tyler Osborne with an RBI single to left field.

"Our team showed a lot of resiliency today and we had a bunch of different guys come through in big spots at the plate and on the mound," said Head Coach Wayne Jones. "I'm really proud of how hard we played and the way we battled throughout to get the victory."

The back-and-forth contest was one-sided in the early innings, as the Golden Knights sprinted out to a 4-0 advantage in the first, sparked by a two-run single by sophomore designated hitter Josh Myers.

After Saint Rose added one more in the third, Southern Connecticut State began to chip away in the middle stages, scoring two runs in the fifth and another in the seventh to keep the action close.

The Owls (13-4/0-1 NE10) took their first lead of the afternoon after plating three in the top of the eighth, setting up the late-inning heroics for Saint Rose.

Sophomore right-hander Tyrell Irvis earned the win for the Golden Knights (8-11/1-0 NE10) after pitching out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the tenth.

The patient Saint Rose lineup drew eighth walks in addition to the team's 15 hits. Haughey and Myers led the Golden Knights with three hits apiece; while Osborne, Venditti, and senior right fielder Samuel Brioso each finished with two hits as well.

Fresman right fielder Bill Sullivan led the Owls with three hits.

The second game of the afternoon doubleheader was postponed due to rain. With the inclement weather lingering in the Capital Region, Saint Rose and Southern Connecticut State will continue the weekend series with a pair of seven-inning games tomorrow in New Haven.

Both squads have NE10 Southwest Division series ahead of them next weekend. The Golden Knights travel to Springfield to visit American International, while the Owls host Le Moyne.
Notes: The Owls are receiving votes in both the NCBWA and the Collegiate Baseball Magazine national polls...Junior right-hander Jared Restmeyer has given up a mere three earned runs throughout his last three starts that span 21.2 innings…He has held opposing hitters to a .193 batting average and has fanned 26 while walking only nine this spring…Restmeyer was named to the NE10 weekly honor roll Monday…Graduate student right-hander Greg Allard owns a team-leading 1.80 ERA throughout seven relief appearances…Haughey has a 13 game hitting streak…He leads the team with 15 RBI and a .949 OPS to go along with a .344 batting average…Osborne is hitting .333, while Myers is batting at a .324 clip...Freshman outfielder James Ward and junior first baseman Jack McDonald are also batting .297 and .292 respectively…The latter paces the squad with eight multi-hit performances.
