POMONA, Calif. (March 9, 2018) – The Rutgers University-Newark baseball team suffered a 12-5 defeat at the hands of Pomona-Pitzer to open the Scarlet Raiders' 2018 Spring Break trip.
 
Despite four hits in five trips from veteran Adam Tricarico, the Sage Hens were able to push across seven runs in the first two innings to build a 7-1 lead.

Rutgers-Newark falls to 3-3 on the season, while Pomona-Pitzer moves to 11-4 with the win.
 
The Scarlet Raiders were originally slated to play Cal-Lutheran Saturday, but due to rain, the two sides have moved that game to Monday. R-N will now look ahead to Sunday's matchup at Occidental College.
 
It was Tricarico getting the game's scoring underway, roping a double to plate senior Brian Boulineau with the game's first run in the top half of the first inning.
 
The Sage Hens responded with four runs in the first and three more in the second to open a 7-1 lead and remained in front the rest of the way.
 
Newark sliced two runs off the lead thanks to Tricarico driving in Boulineau, and junior Luke Magliaro plating brother Dominic Magliaro in the third.
 
Despite an eight-run deficit after four, Rutgers-Newark continued to put together solid at-bats and Tricarico drove home single tallies in the fifth and eighth to make it an 11-5 game. The Scarlet Raiders even loaded the bases with one out in the top of the ninth, but Pomona-Pitzer did what it needed to secure the win.
 
Rutgers-Newark totaled 11 hits in the game with Tricarico going 4-for-5 with four RBI. Boulineau scored three times and had a hit and junior Ryan Zucker went 2-for-5. Veteran backstop Justin Marks went 2-for-4 with a walk, and Dominic Magliaro had a hit, a walk and a pair of runs scored. Luke Magliaro walked twice and picked up the other R-N RBI, and senior Anthony Perconte had a hit and a walk.
 
Junior hurler Anthony Rosoline suffered the loss (0-1) in three innings for R-N while Brett Super picked up the win for the Sage Hens. Reliever Luis Rojas was excellent for Rutgers-Newark, striking out five in 3.1 innings. The veteran flamethrower allowed no runs and just two hits.
