Boca Raton, Fla. -- The Adelphi University baseball team was shut out in its second of two games against 15th-ranked Lynn University on Saturday, as the Panthers closed out their spring Florida trip with a 5-0 setback to the Fighting Knights.
Adelphi (8-6), which went 6-4 over 10-games in Florida, was unable to get a run across the plate in Saturday's contest, despite out-hitting the home team by a 9-8 margin.
TJ Santiago lost the head-to-head matchup with Frank Grandinette, as Lynn's right-hander threw eight shutout innings and scattered seven hits and three strikeouts across his afternoon. Santiago matched zeros with Grandinette over the first three innings before allowing a pair of solo home runs to Miguel Ceballos and Jarren Pinkney in the fourth back-to-back, which gave the Fighting Knights (20-7) a lead they never relinquished.
Ceballos and Pinkney combined for all five RBIs for Lynn on the afternoon, as the two struck again to chase Santiago in the seventh. A single and an error put two on with one out, and after Ceballos singled in Lynn's third run, Pinkney stroked a two-run single to left off
Michael Tarpey in relief to cap Lynn's scoring.Â
The Panthers put two on in the second, as
Michael Stack and
Lawrence Cicileo singled with two outs, but were unable to score, and stranded another two in the ninth after
Eric Hassell and
Brandon Morse each stroked base hits with two down to end the game.Â
