Fordham Takes Two from Baseball in Saturday Doubleheader

BRONX, N.Y. – The La Salle University baseball team dropped a pair of Atlantic 10 Conference contests to the Fordham Rams in a doubleheader on Saturday, 5-0 and 7-2.
 
Game 1: Fordham 5, La Salle 0
  • Sophomore Colin Kennedy put forth his best start of the season on the mound in the opening game and kept the Explorers in it until the end.
  • Kennedy left a runner stranded on third in both the second and third innings and allowed just two hits over the first six innings to keep the Rams scoreless.
  • The right-hander got into a jam with one out in the seventh as Fordham finally broke the scoreless tie on a bases-loaded walk. But Niko Jenkins entered in relief and retired the final two batters to keep the Explorers within a run, 1-0.
  • However, La Salle couldn't get anything going against Fordham starter John Stankiewicz (7-3), who fired eight shutout innings.
  • Fordham pulled away in the eighth with four more runs sparked by an Alvin Melendez home run. 
Game 2: Fordham 7, La Salle 2
  • In the second game, Fordham jumped in front on a two-run single in the second inning to take a 2-0 lead.
  • The Explorers got on the board in the fourth inning as junior Ryan Guckin doubled and the came in to score on a double to left center by sophomore Jack Cucinotta, cutting the deficit to 2-1.
  • La Salle then tied the game at two all in the fifth as senior Peyton Sorrels scored on a sacrifice fly by freshman Tatem Levins.
  • But Fordham immediately answered in the bottom half of the fifth to jump back on top, 3-2. The Rams later extended the lead to 6-2 after a three-run seventh and then added another in the eighth to make it 7-2.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
  • Kennedy threw a career-high 6.1 innings in the first game, allowing only one run on four hits while striking out six. Senior Peyton Sorrels went 2-for-4 in the game.
