Farmingdale, N.Y. (5/14/10) – The Kean
University baseball team concluded regular season play with a
doubleheader blanking of Farmingdale State College by the finals of
5-0 and 12-0, Friday evening.
Game One
The Cougars (34-10) scored single runs in five different innings in
the nine inning affair. What would turn out to be the winning
run came in the second as catcher Eddie Jennings
recorded a two-out, RBI single. Junior Ken
Gregory hit his seventh homerun of the season with a solo
shot in the fourth. In the seventh Steve
Giambrone hit a two-out RBI single.
In a predetermined rotation senior Nick Cesare
(pictured right) picked up the win. Cesare (7-1) tossed three
innings allowing just three hits. Freshman Greg
Baruka, Billy Dumchus and Brandon
Bujnowski along with senior Joseph
Tarallo finished out the game allowing just three more
combined hits.
Game Two
The Cougars put runs on the board in the fourth inning taking a 4-0
lead. Giambrone got things going with a leadoff walk.
After swiping second, he was sacrificed to third. Gregory was
given an intentional pass and Kyle Walker took
advantage of that opportunity with a three run blast.
Nick Nolan then singled himself aboard and would
go on to steal second and third before scoring on an RBI double by
Lee Cavico. After scoring two more in the
fifth, Kean put the game out of reach with five in the sixth.
In the five run frame senior Mike Moceri had a two
RBI double while sophomore Dylan Laguna had a two
RBI triple. Walker picked up another RBI with a groundout.
Offensively Walker (pictured left) was 1-for-4 with five RBI
while Moceri was 2-for-3 with three RBI.
The staff of Kevin Herget, Julian
Diaz and Steve Montalbano combined for 11
strikeouts and just one walk with just four hits in the second
shutout of the day. Herget (7-0) earned the win in the
predetermined rotation.
