Box Score

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – The Fairfield University baseball team pulled out a 6-5 victory over Saint Peter's College this afternoon in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) action at Jaroshack Field.
 
Junior Mark Bordonaro got the win going 7.0 innings and scattering three runs on five hits while fanning eight batters.
 
Senior Tyler Wosleger went 3-for-5 with two RBI while Ryan Plourde went 2-for-4 with a run scored.
 
Senior Larry Cornelia led the game off with a walk. Wosleger then found the gap in right center and legged out a triple to plate Cornelia and give the Stags a 1-0 lead. Saint Peter's tied it up in the bottom of the inning on a sacrifice fly by Brian Koster. The Peacocks took a 2-1 lead in the third inning on an RBI double to right center by William Rawson.
 
Both teams went scoreless until the sixth inning when the Stags broke the game open. Plourde led off with a double down the left field line and then advanced to third on a wild pitch. Sebastian Salvo sliced a ball through the right side to score Plourde and tie the game 2-2. After Jack Giannini walked, Billy Zolga bunted for a base hit to load them up with no outs. Mark Skrapits walked to force in a Salvo and give Fairfield the 3-2 advantage. Sal Ciccone  made it 4-2 after executing a perfect squeeze play. Saint Peter's got the Stags to ground into a double play but Fairfield still scored to push the lead to three runs. Wosleger then beat out a ground ball to short to prolong the inning and give Fairfield the 6-2 advantage.
 
Saint Peter's (8-18; 0-1 MAAC) got one of the runs back in the seventh inning on a solo home run by Chris Grimes. The Peacocks loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth with no outs. Saint Peter's scored two runs on consecutive ground ball outs to pull within 6-5. That's as close as the Peacocks would get as Andrew Gallagher shut the door for his first collegiate save.
 
Fairfield (10-15; 2-2 MAAC) finishes the series at Saint Peter's on April 1 with a doubleheader beginning at 12pm. The Stags return home on April 3 to host Fordham University.
