Union, N.J. (2/26/18) – SUNY Old Westbury used two runs in the fourth inning to stand up as they defeated Kean University by the final of 2-1 on Monday afternoon in a rescheduled contest.

In the deciding frame John Fogerty lined a one-out double to get into scoring position.  John Condon followed with an RBI single up the middle for a quick 1-0 lead.  After the Cougars issued a walk to put runners on first and second, Michael Manetta singled to right for the 2-0 advantage.

Kean (4-2) responded in the same inning cutting the deficit in half.  John Carello led off frame with a double and traded places two batters later with Nick Polizzano with his first of two hits on the day.

The Cougars next best opportunity came in their last at-bat with runners on the corners and one out, but Old Westbury's (1-0) Matt Bohenek got a double-play to end the threat and earned a save in the process.  The submariner tossed two innings allowing one walk and one hit. 

Starter Adam Heidenfelder (1-0) earned the win.  He allowed five hits in five innings with one run.  He fanned six.

Kean returns to action on Wednesday when they host Moravian College.
