Carpenter Drives in Winning Run as Baseball Earns 2-1 Victory Over LIU Post

DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. (Apr. 22, 2018) – Powered by senior Shaine Carpenter (Florham Park, N.J./Saint Anselm College) driving in the winning run in the sixth inning, the Mercy College baseball team earned a 2-1 victory over ECC foe LIU Post on Sunday afternoon at Mercy Field.

The Mavericks (19-21, 8-8 ECC) improve to .500 in ECC play and have their most wins in a season since 2010, while the Pioneers (24-14, 12-4 ECC) have dropped two games in a row. With their next victory the Mavericks will have their most wins in a season since 1990 when Mercy won 26 games.

Carpenter went 1-for-1 with an RBI and junior Anthony Murphy (Peekskill, N.Y./Peekskill) batted 2-for-4. Junior Joseph Sadallah (Staten Island, N.Y./Tottenville) batted 2-for-4 and sophomore John Mooradian (Marlboro, N.Y./Marlboro) went 1-for-4 with an RBI. Junior Fernando Figueroa (Bayamon, P.R./Monroe College) went 4.2 innings with one earned run allowed to take the no-decision. Junior Oscar Marcial (New York, N.Y./A. Philip Randolph) pitched 0.2 innings of relief to pick up his fourth win of the season. Senior Juan Perez (Bronx, N.Y./Iowa Lakes CC) pitched a scoreless ninth inning to record his second save.

LIU Post was led by Ramger Iglesias who went 1-for-3 with a run scored and Julien Arcos went the distance with one earned run allowed to take the loss.

A low-scoring affair broke out in the series finale with LIU Post taking a 1-0 lead in the top of the third on a sacrifice fly from Joe Spitaleri.

It remained 1-0 until the bottom of the fifth when Mooradian doubled home freshman Zak Kain to tie the game up at 1-1. The Mavericks took the lead for good in the bottom of the sixth when Carpenter hit a sacrifice fly to right field that scored junior Miguel Ortiz Sanchez (Bronx, N.Y./Monroe College) who walked to lead off the inning and advanced to third on an error prior to scoring.

Mercy would hold the Pioneers without a run for the remainder of the game to secure the win.

Head Coach Chris Schoen and the Mavericks resume action on Tuesday, April 24th when they host New Haven at 3 p.m.
