Baseball Drops Doubleheader to
Rutgers-Newark
Newark, N.J. (4/10/10) – The Kean
University baseball team dropped both games of a doubleheader to
Rutgers-Newark by the finals of 5-4 and 11-6, Saturday afternoon in
NJAC action from Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium.
Game One
The Cougars took an early 1-0 lead on an RBI groundout before
the Scarlet Raiders struck back with five runs on four hits in the
fifth inning. After KU chipped away with a single run in the
seventh, they tried to rally in the ninth, but could only push
across two runs, falling short by the final of 5-4. In the
ninth inning, junior Nick Nolan (Linden, N.J.)
provided a two-out, two RBI single but that would be as close as
Kean (16-9, 3-4 NJAC) would get.
Senior Nick Cesare (South Plainfield, N.J.)
suffered his first loss of the season. Cesare (4-1) allowed
five runs in six innings of work, he walked four and fanned nine.
Game Two
Rutgers-Newark (10-14, 3-3 NJAC) got on the board with four runs
in the bottom of the first and the Cougars were unable to claw back
as the two continued to score throughout the contest.
Sophomore Ryan Zamorsky (Branchburg, N.J.)
suffered his first loss in his first start of the year.
Zamorsky allowed six runs, five earned, in two and two thirds
innings of work.
Offensively sophomore Lee Cavico (North Brunswick,
N.J.) was 2-for-4 with two homeruns while sophomore
D.J. Breckenridge (Fair Haven, N.J.) was 3-for-5
with two RBI.
