Garden City, N.Y. – The Adelphi University baseball team snapped its four-game losing streak with a Northeast-10 Conference Southwest Division doubleheader split against The College of Saint Rose on Saturday at William J. Bonomo Memorial Field. The Panthers won the opener 3-2 and fell in game two 11-6 to move to 19-22-1 overall and 8-8 in division play. The Golden Knights now stand at 10-34 on the season and 6-10 in the Southwest.
 
John Campbell powered the Adelphi lineup with four hits, two doubles and four RBI on the day. Anthony Zarrella led all batters with six hits, including a 4-5 performance in the nightcap, while Richard Mejia batted 2-5 with a double and an RBI in game two.
 
On the mound, Chris Pabisch threw seven innings to earn the win in game one and allowed just one run on six hits with five strikeouts. Dillon McNamara tossed two scoreless, hitless frames to pick up his league-leading 12^th save of the year. Vincent Caputo suffered the loss in relief in game two, while Joe Pokrentowski threw five shutout frames to grab the win for Saint Rose.
 
Game One
 
Adelphi plated two runs in the top of the first before a sixth-inning run-scoring double play snapped a 2-2 tie and gave the Panthers a 3-2 lead to which they would hold the rest of the game.
 
A leadoff error and a base hit by Kevin Hutzel put two runners on, allowing Nick Zito to chop a grounder to the right side and score Brandon Stahl for the game's first run. Mejia then followed with a base hit to left to put the hosts up 2-0 in the early going.
 
The Golden Knights struck for a run in both the fourth and fifth to tie the game. Zac Bellinger doubled home an unearned run after Scott Hladik reached on an error, and Caleb Gleason delivered an RBI double as well the following frame.
 
Zito would generate the go-ahead run in the sixth however, after hitting into a 4-6-3 double play that allowed Hutzel to cross the plate from third.
 
Game Two
 
The Panthers marched out to a 6-1 lead after three innings, but Saint Rose posted four-run efforts in the sixth and ninth innings to run away with an 11-6 victory.
 
Campbell's RBI single in the second put Adelphi up 1-0, but Gleason answered with a one-run base hit in the top of the third to knot the score. Zito put Adelphi back in front with an RBI double, Mejia made it 3-1 with an RBI fielder's choice, and Campbell capped a five-run frame with a three-run bases clearing double down the left field line.
 
The Golden Knights continued to chip away and halved the deficit with a run in the fourth and fifth. The sixth inning shifted the momentum firmly in favor of Saint Rose as the visitors cranked five hits to go up 7-6. Four more runs on three hits and a defensive miscue in the ninth left the Panthers facing a five-run margin while down to their final three outs, but Saint Rose closer Adam DeFruscio worked around a Zarrella single and infield error to seal the win without allowing a run.
 
The two squads face off in the series finale tomorrow with the first pitch scheduled for 12 p.m.
