Baseball Drops Season Opener at Kean, 8-5

When and Where:

February 10, 2024 - Union, NJ

Records:

St. Joseph's (L.I.), 0-1; Kean University, 1-0

Results:

The St. Joseph's University (L.I.) baseball team opened the 2024 season with an 8-5 loss at Kean University on Saturday afternoon.

Key Players:

  • Sophomore Joe Hackal was 2-for-4 with a triple, a pair of RBIs, and a run scored

  • Freshman Rob Page went 1-for-2 with two RBIs and a run scored

  • Junior Chris Lettiere finished 1-for-3 with a walk and a run

  • Kean's Kyle Adorno was 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored

How it happened:

  • Kean plated a couple of runs in the bottom of the second when a one-out walk came around to score back-to-back singles from Brett Hilsheimer and Steve Petrosh. A strikeout followed, but an SJLI defensive miscue led the Cougars' second run of the inning

  • After the Golden Eagles stranded a pair of runners in the top half of the third, the hosts had runners on second and third with no outs setting up a sac fly to right. A pair of singles followed extending Kean's lead to 4-0

  • The Cougars added a run in bottom of the fourth and fifth innings pushing the score to 6-0

  • An RBI single to right by Hilsheimer in the bottom of the seventh put the Cougars ahead 7-0 

  • Back-to-back doubles with one out in the bottom of the eighth put Kean ahead 8-0 

  • SJLI had some life in the bottom of the ninth when John Lynch and Joe Sanguedolce singled with two outs before Lettiere drew a walk to load the bases. Page followed up single down the right field line pushing two runs across

  • A batter later, Hackal blasted a triple in the right-center gap bringing in another two runs. A couple of pitches later the outfielder came into score on a passed ball before Kean's reliever Nolan Rowan got Jodan Ramlogan to ground out for the final out of the game

Notes:

  • Kean's Jason Gilman went six innings allowing just four hits while fanning 14 and picked up his first win of the season

  • SJLI starter Jack Kelly surrendered two runs on two hits with a pair of strikeouts and took the loss

Next up, the Golden Eagles open up at home when they host SUNY Cobleskill on Saturday, February 17th. First pitch is set for 2:00 pm.
