Late Offense Carries Baseball Past Endicott, 4-2

AUBURNDALE, FL – The Rowan University baseball team held on for a 4-2 victory over Endicott College at the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational on Thursday.
 
With the win, the Profs are now 5-3 on the season while the Gulls are 4-5.
 
Designated hitter Anthony Harrold (sr. Woodbury, NJ/Gloucester Catholic) and catcher Steven Hewa (sr. Galloway, NJ/Absegami) led Rowan with two hits apiece. Center fielder Matt Woods (sr. Berlin, NJ/Eastern Reg.) and first baseman Eric DiDomenico (fr. Blackwood, NJ/Paul IV) each produced one hit and a run batted in (RBI).
 
Right-hander Andrew DiPiazza (sr. Bayville, NJ/Central Reg.) recorded the win (2-0), pitching eight innings, striking out nine and allowing four hits. Righty Andrew Cartier (sr. Estell Manor, NJ/Buena Reg.) earned his third save on the year, tossing the final inning and giving up no hits.
 
For Endicott, designated hitter Nickolas Perkins (so. Nashua, NH/Cushing Academy) had three hits and one RBI. Right fielder John Duffy (jr. Stratford, CT/Stratford) and second baseman Christian Allaire (fr. Sandown, NH/Timberlane Reg.) each chipped in one hit. Right-hander Victor Molle (gr. Peabody, MA/Peabody) suffered the loss, pitching one inning and allowing two hits and three runs.
 
It was a back and forth battle over the first three innings, as neither side could find a way to plate a run. The Gulls opened the scoring in the fourth inning on a Perkins RBI single to right center. The Brown and Gold fought back and evened the game at one in the sixth. Second baseman Alex Kokos (jr. Wayne, NJ/Wayne Valley) reached second after slamming a double down the left field line. At the next at-bat, Woods singled up the middle and Kokos scored.
 
Rowan pulled ahead, 4-1 in the top of the eighth. Woods got things started when he reached first on an error and then advanced to second on a single from Harrold. DiDomenico blasted a doubled to right center and brought in Woods. The next two runs were scored on a Gulls' error.
 
Endicott put the pressure on in the bottom of the ninth, cutting the gap to two (4-2). With runners on first and second, the Rowan defense recorded back-to-back outs to hold on for the win.
 
The Profs have two games on Friday, March 22 at the Chain of Lakes Stadium in Winter Haven, FL. The baseball team plays New York University at 12:30 p.m., followed by a contest against Springfield College at 3:30 p.m.
