BASEBALL FALLS TO SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT IN REMATCH

PLEASANTVILLE, NY- Pace University's baseball team lost in Northeast-10 Conference action this afternoon to the Owls of Southern Connecticut State University 5-0. The Setters fall to 3-8 overall and 0-2 in conference play this season, while the Owls improve to 8-4-1 overall and 2-0 in conference play. 

The game was a pitcher's duel until the top of the sixth inning when the Owls sparked a three-run rally to break the offensive silence.

Unfortunately the bats were silent for the most part for the Setters on the afternoon. The Setters had bases loaded with two out in the seventh, but Mike Torello (Cheshire, CT/Cheshire) (Cheshire, CT/Cheshire) would fly out deep to centerfield to end the inning.

The Owls would tag on two more runs in the eighth inning to put the game away.

MacKenzie King (Blairstown, NJ/North Warren Regional) (Blairstown, NJ/North Warren Regional) got the start for Pace, pitching six innings and giving up three runs on five hits, four walks, and five strikeouts.

The Setters will return to action on Saturday, March 20 when the team takes on NE-10 opponent Stonehill College at 12 p.m. in a double header at Pace's Finnerty Field.
