Box Score
Pomona, N.Y. - The Adelphi University baseball team scored seven times in the final three innings to beat Dominican College 7-6 in non-league action at Provident Bank Park on Thursday evening. The Panthers improve to 22-22-1 overall while the Chargers, ranked 10th in the most recent National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Regional Poll, move to 27-19 on the season.

The Panthers sent 15 different position players to the plate and six pitchers to the mound in the last non-league game of the regular season. Seven Adelphi hitters recorded two hits, led by Kyle Ambury's two doubles and three RBI. Chad Houghton went 2-4 with a double, run and RBI, while Matt Wasserman finished 2-5 with a two-bagger. Richard Mejia, Brandon Stahl, Rob Burns and Anthony Vazzana each singled twice for the Panthers, who ripped 17 hits total to mark the third straight game with at least 14 hits as a team.

Mike Cranston and Vinny Caputo each threw two shutout innings of relief, with Caputo picked up the winning after rendering Dominican hitless in the sixth and seventh with two strikeouts. Ryan Corry tossed a perfect eighth, while James McCormack earned the save.

For the Chargers, Andrew Camardella and Kenny Harrell each ripped two base hits, while Tyler Clark cracked a solo home run in the bottom of the second. Jordan Paszek battled through seven innings on the hill, allowing five runs on 12 hits while striking out eight batters. Tom Liang was saddled with the loss after surrendering the lead in the eighth.

Dominican took an early 3-0 lead after two frames, but neither team would threaten again until the hosts tacked on two more runs in the sixth. The Chargers used a single, wild pitch and three walks to go up 3-0 before Caputo got the call from the bullpen. A sacrifice fly made it 4-0, but a strikeout and fly out stranded two runners and set the Panthers up for a five run rally in the top of the seventh.

Vazzana led off with a single to center and a hit-by-pitch put runners on first and second. Stahl poked a base hit to load the bases, and Houghton and Anthony Infante smacked back-to-back RBI singles to bring the score to 5-2. Vinny Gaetano then lofted a sacrifice fly to score Stahl, and burns picked up an RBI single through the left side to suddenly make it a two-run game. With two outs, Ambury roped a two-run double down the right field line to tie things up after six and a half frames.

Caputo retired the side in order in the seventh to quickly bring Adelphi back up to bat, and the Panthers seized the lead after Vazzana, Stahl and Nick Zito ripped three straight singles. Corry kep the momentum going by firing a scoreless eighth, and Ambury's second double of the game tacked on an insurance run to make it 7-5 as the Chargers faced their final three outs. 

Dominican refused to go quietly and two singles and a walk set up a sacrifice fly that made it a one-run affair with two down, but McCormack recorded the final out on a fly ball to right. 

The Panthers head to the University of New Haven on Friday for the first of a three-game Northeast-10 Conference Southwest Division series to wrap up the regular season. First pitch is scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
