Garden City, N.Y. — Head coach Bill Ianniciello and the Adelphi baseball team played their final game of a seven game homestand on Tuesday afternoon when they hosted Dominican (N.Y.)

Bobby Molinaro earned the start for the Panthers in a bullpen game and turned in a fine performance. The senior pitched four innings, allowing four walks, one hit, no runs and striking out three. 

Adelphi got on the board first in the bottom of the second when Jack Wishner drove in Joe Pellegrino, who started the frame off with a bloop double to left field.  

The 'Cats struck again in the next inning after singles from Jack Tate and L.J. Bohne. A wild pitch advanced the pair before they were both driven in on sacrifice flies from Greyson Pizzonia and James Eden to give the home team a 3-0 lead. 

After Molinaro exited, the Panther pen ran into some trouble in the fifth and conceded the lead as Dominican scored four after five hits and an Adelphi error. Michael Tufo would strand two to keep the Brown and Gold in the game. 

In the bottom half, Tate smoked his second career home run to tie the game but the Chargers retook the lead in the sixth after a defensive miscue from the Panthers moved runners over before an RBI groundout. The 'Cats continued to fight and after an Eden leadoff triple, tied the game with a sacrifice fly from Alex Rende. 

With the game tied at five, Tate once again homered to give Adelphi its first lead since the fourth inning. In the top of the eighth, Dominican threatened with runners on first and second with nobody out before C.J. Forman entered the ballgame. 

The first batter the freshman faced bunted the ball to the third base side and Forman made a heads up play, throwing to Giancarlo Rengifo to nail the lead runner and get the first out. The right-hander then got the next two Chargers to fly out and all of the momentum had swung in the Panthers' favor. 

Adelphi scored five runs in the bottom of the eighth on four hits and RBI from Wishner, Tate, C.J. Picone and Eden.

Forman had a one-two-three ninth and earned his first collegiate save. 

Tate finished the game 4-4 with three RBI as six different 'Cats drove in runs. 

Jacob Lee earned his first win of the season. 

The Panthers return to the field on Friday at 3:30 p.m. when they travel up to Springfield, Mass. for the first game of a four game set against AIC.
