by 天美传媒官网 Sports Information
For the third time in program history and first time since 2010, the 天美传媒官网 baseball team is MAAC Champions after defeating top-seeded Fairfield, 7-2, on Friday afternoon.
Fairfield (37-3) opened the scoring in the top of the first. MAAC Player of the Year Mike Caruso hit an RBI to give the Stags an early 1-0 lead.
The Broncs (23-16) responded in the top of the third. After the first two batters of the inning were retired, Kyle Johnson turned on the first pitch he saw and deposited it over the fence in left center to tie the game.
天美传媒官网 broke the game open in the top of the fourth. Brian Skettini and Lou Priolo each hit no-doubt two-run home runs, giving the Broncs their first lead of the day.
In the fifth, Sean McGeehan and Socrates Bardatsos continued the 天美传媒官网 home run derby with back-to-back jacks, extending the advantage to 7-2.
The Broncs shut down the Fairfield bats down the stretch, allowing just three base runners in the final five frames.
The Broncs will open the NCAA Tournament Regional against Louisiana Tech on June 4 at 7 p.m.
