PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. – In the finale of a three-game series at Saint Rose, the Pace University baseball team was defeated by the Golden Knights, 9-3, on Sunday. The Setters, who swept the doubleheader yesterday, move to 21-11 this season (10-7 in the NE10).

After taking a 4-1 lead in the fifth inning, Saint Rose broke the game open with a five-run seventh.
