GOLDEN KNIGHTS COME UP SHORT IN NINTH-INNING COMEBACK ATTEMPT AGAINST SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE

ALBANY, N.Y.- The College of Saint Rose came up short in a ninth-inning comeback attempt against Southern Connecticut State, with the visiting Owls holding on to secure the 7-6 Northeast-10 Conference victory today at Bob Bellizzi Field.

Graduate center fielder Andrew Eng finished 3-for-3 with two home runs and four RBI to lead Southern Connecticut State (17-6/4-3 NE10) in a match-up that served as a make-up for the postponed meeting on March 26 between these two squads.

Saint Rose opened the scoring in the bottom of the second when sophomore designated hitter Nathan Toms touched home following a single up the middle by junior center fielder Zephaniah Vaughn, one of three hits tallied by Vaughn in the setback.

The Owls scratched across a run in the third to draw even before Eng hit the first of his two long balls in the sixth, a solo shot to left field.

Trailing 2-1, the Golden Knights plated a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth on run-scoring singles by junior first baseman Jack McDonald and sophomore catcher Derek Haughey. A sacrifice fly by junior third baseman Tyler Osborne scored Vaughn in the next frame to push the Saint Rose advantage to 4-2.

The lead held until the top of the eighth when Eng sent a three-run blast out to right field to put the Owls back ahead. Southern Connecticut State manufactured two more runs in the top half of the ninth to extend the cushion to 7-4.

Sophomore pinch hitter Jelani Hamer and freshman left fielder James Ward each knocked in runs to cut the margin to 7-6 in the Golden Knights last turn to the plate. However, the final rally culminated with a pop out by Vaughn with the bases loaded.

Sophomore right-hander Randall Alejo struck out seven and scattered just four hits in 6.0 innings for Saint Rose (11-15/4-4 NE10).

Looking ahead, the Golden Knights head to Rindge, N.H. for a doubleheader Saturday at Franklin Pierce while Southern Connecticut State hosts Adelphi for a four-game, NE10 series this weekend.
