PACE USES EARLY LEAD TO EARN NE-10 VICTORY OVER ADELPHI
SUNDBERG ALLOWS ONE RUN OVER NINE INNINGS IN WIN

GARDEN CITY, NY- The Pace University baseball team was victorious over the Panthers of Adelphi University this afternoon by a 3-1 score in Northeast-10 Conference action. The Setters improve to 14-25 overall and 7-16 in the NE-10, while the Panthers fall to 29-13 overall and 15-8 in conference play.

Freshman Brian Sundberg (Westbury, NY/WT Clarke) (Westbury, NY/WT Clarke) (5-1) was stellar against the Panthers, pitching nine innings allowing one earned run on five hits, three walks, and three strikeouts.

The Setters started scoring early when Chris Roemer (Ardsley, NY/Ardsley) (Ardsley, NY/Ardsley) drew a bases loaded, two-out walk to draw in the game's first run to give Pace a 1-0 lead in the top of the first.

A two out single by Chris Spatkowski (Bristol, CT/Bristol Eastern) in the top of the fourth inning, drove home an insurance run for Pace to make the lead 2-0.

Another run was added on to Pace's lead in the top of the fifth when Vinny Dammann (Mullica Hill, NJ/Gloucester Catholic) smacked a home run to right field to give the Setters a 3-0 lead.

Adelphi would put a run on the board in the bottom of the fifth, but the Sundberg's pitching kept the Panthers at bay, helping the Setters hold on to the 3-1 win.

The Setters will resume play tomorrow when they face off against the Adelphi University Panthers in a rematch at Pace's Finnerty Field set for a 3:30 pm start.
