Garden City, N.Y. - As it tipped its caps to six graduating seniors Saturday, the Adelphi University baseball team took the first two contests of a four-game series against Le Moyne College at William J. Bonomo Memorial Field in Garden City,

Fourteen of Adelphi's fifteen runs on the day came with two outs. The Panthers (24-9-1, 13-4 NE10) batted an astonishing .500 (13-for-26) with two outs in the two games.

Game 1: Adelphi 11, Le Moyne 3
The two-out rallies began in the bottom of the third, when RBI singles from Michael Draskin and Alec Maag propelled Adelphi to a 2-1 lead.

Entering today's action with two hits in his last 13 at-bats, Anthony Cipri stepped in with the bases loaded and two outs in the third. On a 1-0 count, Cipri started to open the floodgates with a bases-clearing RBI triple, making it a 6-1 game at the time.

Maag knocked in his second RBI of the contest in the sixth, and Kyle Olson followed with a statement three-run homer in the seventh that put the game out of reach.

John Rizzo, who made the start for the Panthers, now has a win in each of his last four appearances. He let up just two runs and one walk with two strikeouts in 5.2 innings of work.

Out of the pen, Steven Murphy and Kevin Glasser struck out five batters in a combined 3.1 innings of relief.

Game 2: Adelphi 4, Le Moyne 3
In his first start since Apr. 2, Michael Storms took the ball for four innings in the seven-inning contest and surrendered a pair of runs.

The Panthers got to Le Moyne starter Jacob Marshall early, by way of some key baserunning. A perfectly-executed double steal scored Alifano in the first, and Jose Matos broke for home and crossed safely in the second on a wild pitch.

Although the two runs off Storms was a game-tying homer in the fourth, the trend of Adelphi driving in two-out runs came back in its half of the fourth inning.

With runners on first and second and two away, Jack Wishner and Alifano each went to the opposite field for RBI singles. Wishner's approach behind 0-2 in the count resulted in a go-ahead single that traveled through the right side.

Nicolas Luc made another relief appearance at home and converted his second save opportunity. Le Moyne closed within 4-3 in its final turn at-bat, but Luc froze Drew Carroll with the tying run aboard to end the game.

The Panthers and Dolphins will round out their four-game series with another doubleheader on Sunday (May 1) at noon at William J. Bonomo Memorial Field in Garden City.
