BASEBALL FALLS TO SCARLET RAIDERS 16-9 AT BEARS & EAGLES RIVERFRONT STADIUM

Box Score

The Lehman College baseball team (3-15 Overall, 1-5 CUNYAC) dropped a non-conference game Wednesday afternoon, falling to the Rutgers-Newark Scarlet Raiders (15-8 Overall, 5-3 NJAC) by a score of 16-9 at Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium.

 

For the Scarlet Raiders in the victory, sophomore middle infielders Matt Connors and Patrick Reitemeyer each had two hits with a home run, scored twice, and drove in three runs. Rutgers-Newark also got two hits apiece from senior catcher Gerard Russomanno, senior leftfielder Brian Gill and junior first baseman Matt Lingo in the slugfest. Ricky Tier picked up the victory, striking out three and allowing only a one-out single in the third while working two full innings. The Scarlet Raiders used six pitchers with no one going more than two full innings. 

Reitemeyer's home run, a two-run shot over the left centerfield wall, put the Raiders up for good at 3-2. Connors capped a seven-run eighth inning with a two-run inside-the-park home run on a tailing line drive to center that got past Lehman centerfielder Bobby Villante. 

A lead-off home run in the second inning by sophomore first baseman Amadoernesto Guzman ignited a two run Lightning rally which put Lehman College in the lead early. The Raiders, however, would come back with a run in the bottom of the second, then tacked on two in the third, and three runs each in the fifth and fifth to balloon the lead to 9-5. 

An RBI double by designated hitter Leonardo Hernandez trimmed the Raider lead to 9-6 in the sixth, setting the stage for Rutgers-Newark's eighth-inning explosion. 

Sophomore leftfielder Raul Cordero had a two-run single to cap a three-run outburst by Lehman in the top of the ninth. 

Despite the loss for Lehman College, senior shortstop Andrew Rosario paced the Lightning with three hits, including a double, in five at-bats. 

 

The Lightning return to action on Friday afternoon as the team travels to Bronx Community College for a non-conference game with the City College of New York Beavers, with game-time scheduled for noon.
