BASEBALL TEAM WINS FIVE STRAIGHT IN COCOA BEACH
(March 18) The
Stockton baseball team swept a doubleheader from Medaille (NY) by scores of 8-1
and 14-7 in Cocoa Beach. Matt Allen (Salem/Woodstown) led the Ospreys by
going 4-6 with a double, home run and five RBI in the twinbill. Stockton batters
slugged five home runs in the doubleheader.
In the opener, Scott Fisher
(Toms River/TR East) went 2-3 with a home run and three RBI while
Allen was 2-3 with a double and two RBI. Winning pitcher Joe Mihalyi
(Hamilton/Nottingham) tossed a complete game and allowed one run on eight
hits with four strikeouts. The Ospreys broke the game open with four runs in the
fifth inning on their way to the 8-1 victory.
Stockton plated six runs in the
top of the first inning of the nightcap. After Medaille responded with two runs,
the Ospreys scored three more times in the top of the second for a 9-2 lead on
their way to the 14-7 win. Allen and Jeff Lundell (Henderson,
NV/Kentridge (WA)) each went 2-3 with a home run and three RBI. Craig
Rich (Hamilton/Steinert) and Joe Sacerdote (Deptford/Gloucester
Catholic) also blasted home runs in the game.
(March 20) Stockton scored
five runs in the final three innings and defeated Bridgewater State 6-3 in Cocoa
Beach. Jeff Lundell and Matt Allen each went 2-5 with a double.
Eddie Ortiz (Vineland/Vineland) was 2-4 with two runs scored. Winning
pitcher Scott Fisher fanned 14 batters and scattered eight hits in eight
innings. John O’Hara (Clayton/Gloucester Catholic) pitched a scoreless
ninth frame for the save.
Stockton took a 1-0 lead on an RBI double by
Lundell in the top of the first, but Bridgewater State responded with
three runs in the bottom half for a 3-1 lead. In the seventh inning, the Ospreys
capitalized on three Bridgewater State errors and scored three runs to go ahead
4-3. Joe Sacerdote and Ortiz both singled and scored in the eighth
inning as Stockton added two insurance runs on its way to the 6-3
triumph.
(March 21) Stockton concluded its week-long stay in Cocoa Beach with
a doubleheader sweep of Penn College by scores of 11-1 and 6-3. The victories
extended Stockton’s winning streak to five games and completed the team’s

overall as they return to campus and resume play for the bulk of their schedule.
