William Paterson Defeats Baseball, 6-0

WAYNE, N.J. (April 17, 2015) – The Rutgers-Newark baseball team was shutout by William Paterson University in the second installment of a home-and-home New Jersey Athletic Conference series Friday afternoon.
 
The Scarlet Raiders earned a 4-0 shutout win behind senior starter Jonathan Dominguez on Thursday in the opener at Riverfront Stadium, but WPU was able to bounce back Friday on its home field.
 
Rutgers-Newark falls to 10-20 overall and 1-11 in conference, while William Paterson moves to 18-9 overall and 5-7 in the NJAC.
 
R-N was limited to just five hits in the game, getting two from junior center fielder Ryan MacFarlane and one apiece from junior shortstop Gerry Patrizio, sophomore left fielder Josh Cote and sophomore first baseman Chas Bohannon. Patrizio also worked out one of two walks, recording the Scarlet Raiders' only extra-base hit of the game as well with a double in the first.
 
William Paterson posted 13 hits in the game. Catcher Mike Knauf went 3-for-3 with two RBI's and right fielder Jimmy Kenny was 2-for-4 with two RBI's. Pioneer starter Tom Gaccione improved to 4-1 on the season with a complete-game five-hitter.
 
Rutgers-Newark starter Andrew Nasti suffered the loss (0-5), going 4.1 innings and giving up five runs on 11 hits. Freshman reliever Dominick Fazio was solid for the Raiders, throwing 2.2 innings of scoreless relief, allowing just one baserunner on a walk.
 
William Paterson jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning on four hits, getting one tally on a wild pitch and another on a two-out single from Kenny. The Pioneers scored three more in the fifth and one in the eighth for the final margin. Kenny, designated hitter Jordan Aughey and Knauf drove in the runs in the fifth, and a Knauf single plated shortstop Victor Sanchez in the eighth.
 
The Scarlet Raiders left nine men on base, stranding two in the first after Cote was hit by a pitch and another in the second when Bohannon singled with two outs. Patrizio walked and stole a base in the third, but the best R-N chance of the day came in the fourth when the bases were loaded with one out. MacFarlane singled and stole second, junior Cameron Dias walked and Bohannon was hit by a pitch, but Giaccione was able to get a strikeout and groundout to keep Newark off the scoreboard.
 
Rutgers-Newark put a single runner on in the sixth, eighth and ninth but could not string together enough hits to put a scare into the Pioneers.
 
The Scarlet Raiders will return to action Saturday at Riverfront Stadium when they host Montclair State University in an NJAC doubleheader. Game one is set for an 11:30 a.m. start.
