Breckenridge, Fourre Rally Kean Past Widener, 4-2

Union, N.J. (3/10/09) - Freshman Sam Fourre (Scotch Plains, N.J.) earned his first win in his first collegiate appearance as #4 Kean University rallied past Widener University, 4-2, Tuesday afternoon at Jim Hynes Stadium.  

Fourre (1-0) earned the win in relief for the Cougars (8-1) after tossing three and a third innings, allowing no runs and just one hit.  He struck out three and walked one.  For the Pride (4-5), junior Dan Gross (Coatesville, Pa.) suffered the loss.  Gross (0-2) allowed three runs, all earned, on six hits.  He did not walk a batter and fanned two.

Widener jumped on the board in the first inning with two runs.  Sophomore Tom DeAngelis (Pottstown, Pa.) got things going with a leadoff single.  Later with one out and runners on the corners, junior Tom Connelly (Media, Pa.) grounded out for the game's first run.  Junior Colin Keelan (Ellicott City, Md.) followed with an RBI single to left.   With two outs, the Pride proceeded to load the bases, but starter Joe Rizzo (Staten Island, N.Y.) got out of further trouble and forced freshman Dan Sieracki (Cherry Hill, N.J.) to pop up and end the inning.

Kean tacked on a run in the bottom of the third as freshman D.J. Breckenridge (Fair Haven, N.J.) led off the inning with a single.  After advancing to second on a ground-out and swiping third, rookie Dylan Laguna (Edison, N.J.) drove him home with a single up the middle.

The Cougars broke through and took the lead in the bottom of the seventh as Breckenridge lined a shot down the rightfield line to tie the game at two all.  After stealing second, freshman Nick Ramagli (Emerson, N.J.) drove him home with an RBI single.

Kean added an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth as junior Jared Orgel (East Hanover, N.J.) laid down a squeeze bunt with Nick Nolan (Linden, N.J.) on third to drive home the final run of the afternoon.

Closer Brandon Aich (Sayreville, N.J.) recorded the final two outs of the afternoon to record his record-setting fifth save of the season.  With that save, and each save forward, Aich will tack on to his own record, previously of four last season, in the KU single-season record books.

Breckenridge (pictured left) was 2-for-3 with two runs scored, an RBI and two stolen bases while Ramagli was 2-for-3 with an RBI and stolen base.
