POMONA, N.J. (April 30, 2018) – The Rutgers University-Newark baseball team earned a 14-8 New Jersey Athletic Conference win at Stockton University Monday afternoon to close the 2018 season on a four-game winning streak.

Holding a 2-1 lead after four, Rutgers-Newark broke the game open with seven runs in the fifth. Senior Danny Iannaccone walked to lead things off, and after stealing second, he came in to score on a hit off the bat of sophomore Christian Diaz. Sophomore John Klimowich walked and stole second, and senior Justin Marks came up next, delivering a run-scoring single. Senior Brian Boulineau followed, roping a two-run double, with Dominic Magliaro blasting a three-run homer to put an exclamation mark on the frame. The homer was first of the year for Magliaro who ends 2018 with 30 hits and 20 RBI.
 
Newark tacked on five markers in the seventh to all-but lock up the win. Freshman Chris Suleski started the stanza with a hit, and Christian Shelley pocketed a base knock next. Dominic Magliaro cracked an RBI single for the first tally, Luke Magliaro singled to load the bases, and Iannaccone cleared the sacks with a double to right-center. Klimowich put a bow on the inning, driving in the final run with a double to left field.
 
The Ospreys would make things interesting late with five runs in the ninth, but it was not nearly enough as the Scarlet Raiders closed it out for the victory.

Dominic Magliaro went 2-for-4 (HR) with two runs scored and four RBI, Luke Magliaro was 2-for-5 with an RBI and run scored, and Iannaccone went 2-for-3 with three runs and two RBI.
