Mercy Baseball Rallies to Earn Split at Dowling
Game 1 Linescore
Game 2 Linescore
The Mercy College baseball team rallied to earn a split of a
doubleheader at Dowling College today, winning the nightcap 5-2
after losing the opener 2-0.
In the first game of the day, Mercy (7-12, 3-5 East Coast
Conference) managed only two baserunners, one in the second, and
one in the fourth. Neither runner advanced past first base.
Dowling (12-12, 7-6 ECC) scored a pair of earned runs in the
first inning, and held on for the win. Sophomore Charles Dehart (Staten Island,
N.Y./St. Peter's Boys) pitched well for Mercy, throwing five
innings, allowing just three hits while striking out two.
In game two, Mercy jumped out quickly, plating three runs in
the
first. Mercy combined a pair of hits and a fortuitous Dowling
error for the runs. Senior Vinny Tesoriero (Glen Head, N.Y./North
Shore) had a key hit, a two-run double.
The Mavs then pushed the lead to 5-0 in the fourth inning, on a
Matt Buesser (Hillsdale, N.J./Pascack
Valley) two-run single.
Junior Keith Kreig (City Island, N.Y./Mt. St.
Michael's) pitched well for Mercy, scattering five hits in
six innings. He allowed a pair of unearned runs in the bottom of
the sixth. Billy Dring (Mahopac, N.Y./Lakeland)
earned his second save of the series, striking out two batters in
the bottom of the seventh.
The teams have now split the first four games of the season
series, with the fifth and final game to be played on Monday, April
5, at 3:00 p.m. in Dobbs Ferry.
