GARDEN CITY, NY - The Pace University baseball team dropped a

The Panthers struck first in the bottom of the first inning
without even getting a hit as they played small ball, and also
benefited from a key Setter miscue, to take an early 1-0 lead.
Pace bounced back in the top of the third inning using a couple
extra base hits to tie the game. Andre Liscinsky (Trumbull,
CT/Trumbull) started the inning off with a one out double
to left field. Joe Cotone (Yorktown Hts., NY/Lakeland) (Yorktown Heights.
NY/Lakeland) followed that up with a RBI double of his own
to right field to tie the game at 1-1.
The tie would be short lived as Adelphi got to Pace starter
Michael Mastrogiovanni (Glen Rock, NJ/Glen Rock) (Glen Rock, NJ/ Glen Rock)
for a run in the bottom of the third inning to take a 2-1 lead. The
Panthers weren't done as they widened their lead in the bottom of
the fourth getting three runs on four hits off Mastrogiovanni to
take a 5-1lead after four.
Mastrogiovanni went three and a third innings on the day giving
up five runs on seven hits. He struck out none, and walked one in
the outing.
Patrick Chaputian (Sea Cliff, NY/North Shore) (Sea Cliff, NY/North Shore)
had two of the six Setter hits on the day as Pace had no answers
for Adelphi starter Jason Intelisano.

to start at 3:30 p.m.
