Wooster Gives Kean First
Post-Season Loss, 14-1
Grand Chute, Wis. (5/23/09) - The College of
Wooster plated runs in all but one inning as they handed Kean their
first loss in post-season play, 14-1, Saturday afternoon at Fox
Cities Stadium.
With the loss, Kean will square off against Chapman University
at noon local time on Sunday, May 24th. Chapman
fell to the University of St. Thomas on Friday, 9-1, and bounced
back with a win against Farmingdale State, 4-2, Saturday afternoon.
Wooster jumped on board with a run in the first as John
Warren (New Castle, Pa.) reached on a one-out single.
Outfielder Stu Beath (St. Louis, Mo.) followed that with a
double to leftfield to put runners at first and second.
Matt Groezinger (Columbus, Ohio) lofted a sacrifice fly
for the game's first run.
The Fighting Scots added another in the third as Sean Karpen
(Venetia, Pa.) led off the frame with a triple to
left-center. He quickly crossed the plate on another
sacrifice fly, this time from Warren. Wooster tacked on a
single run in the fourth as catcher Shane Swearingen (Hilliard,
Ohio) lined a one-out double down the leftfield line and later
scored on a two-out single from Karpen.
After adding single runs in the fifth and sixth, Wooster put the
game away in the seventh with a two-out, two-run double by Luke
Sutton (Galion, Ohio).
Kean's biggest scoring opportunity came in the bottom of the
seventh, with one out and the bases loaded, but an inning ending
double-play ended the threat to get on the board.
Freshman Lee Cavico (North Brunswick, N.J.) did
finally break up the shutout with his seventh homerun of the
season, a solo shot, in the bottom of the eighth.
Offensively Dave Zavistoski (Edison, N.J.) was
3-for-4 in the loss.
Southpaw Ryan Zamorsky (Branchburg, N.J.)
suffered the loss for Kean. Zamorsky (7-3) allowed four runs
in four plus innings of work.
