Garden City, N.Y. – On Sunday afternoon the Adelphi baseball team wrapped up its road series with Saint Michael's at William J. Bonomo Memorial Field.

Series History:

• Adelphi (11-10, 7-5 NE10) moves into a tie with Saint Anselm for second place in the Northeast 10.

Game One: Adelphi 8, Saint Michael's 5 (F/7)

Highlights:

• Ari Gluck worked into the seventh, pitching six strong innings while allowing three earned runs and striking out three.
• Michael Robinson and Bryan McCleary both homered for the Panthers, with the pair driving in five combined runs.
• Four Panthers (Zach DeMilt, Johnny Catuosco, Robinson, Albert Ramos) recorded multiple hits.
• Ramos, Evan Carway, and Erick Duignan each tallied an RBI.

How It Happened:

• DeMilt and Catuosco got the game started with back-to-back singles. With two outs, Ramos was plunked, loading the bases for Carway. The Panther third baseman worked a four-pitch walk to score the first run of the day.
• Saint Michael's tied the game in the bottom of the second with a solo home run from Jerry Guzman, but Gluck settled down and got out of the inning.
• Adelphi got the long ball going in the third and fifth innings with a Robinson solo shot and a two-run homer from McCleary.
• The Panthers added one more run in the fifth after McCleary's home run, courtesy of a Duignan RBI single after a Saint Michael's error extended the inning.
• Gluck continued to shut down the Purple Knights' offense while Adelphi was able to get to its opponent's bullpen.
• In the top of the sixth, the Panther lead grew to 8-1. L.J. Bohne started the frame with a double and was followed by a DeMilt single. McCleary recorded an RBI groundout for his third RBI of the game, and Robinson stayed hot with an RBI double to right-center. Ramos drove in the team's eighth run with a single to center field.
• With the Panthers up 8-2, Gluck got into a bit of trouble and was unable to finish the complete game. Zach Rovner entered from the bullpen and, although a Panther error caused some chaos, he was able to close out an 8-5 Adelphi win.

Game 2: Saint Michael's 11, Adelphi 10 (F/10)

Highlights:

• Albert Ramos and Michael Robinson each had two hits and three RBIs.
• Zach DeMilt went 3-for-6 as the leadoff man, scoring three runs and driving in two.
• Anthony Rigogliosi went 4-for-5 in the nine hole, scoring three runs.

How It Happened:

• For the first time all weekend, it was the Purple Knights who struck first. After a scoreless first inning, Saint Michael's got on the board in the second thanks to a solo home run. Billy Kind ran into some two-out trouble in the frame but escaped, allowing only one run.
• Adelphi's offense responded in the top of the third, taking a 3-1 lead. Erick Duignan singled before Anthony Rigogliosi laid down a perfect bunt single.
• DeMilt ripped a single past the third baseman to drive in Duignan and tie the game.
• McCleary and Robinson gave the Panthers the lead with an RBI groundout and a sacrifice fly.
• Adelphi was held scoreless in the top of the fourth, and in the bottom half, Saint Michael's tied the game. Three singles, a walk, and a hit by pitch led to two runs and chased Kind from the game. Colin Richardson entered in relief and recorded the final out of the fourth to keep the score at 3-3.
• Saint Michael's held Adelphi scoreless in the fifth and then took the lead after a double and an RBI single.
• After being held scoreless in the fourth and fifth innings, the Panthers' offense got rolling again in the sixth. Singles from Ryan and Rigogliosi set the stage for DeMilt, who drove in the Panther catcher with a line drive to right field. Johnny Catuosco drew a walk, and a McCleary RBI walk gave Adelphi the lead.
• Runs continued to come in, as in the bottom half, the Purple Knights struck for two more and regained the lead.
• The seventh inning was quiet, but the Cats got back on the board in the eighth. Three singles and a walk loaded the bases for Robinson. Down 1-2 in the count, the lefty poked a ball between the left fielder and shortstop for two RBIs and the lead.
• Ramos followed with a clutch at-bat, ripping a single to left-center to extend the Adelphi lead to 8-6.
• Once again, the Purple Knights answered. A two-out rally, sparked by a hit by pitch and an infield single, cut the deficit to 8-7.
• With two runners on, Josh Ayala drove a ball to the left-center field fence. What appeared to be a two-run play resulted in just one run after a Purple Knight missed second base.
• Michael Tufo struck out the next batter to limit the damage.
• Both teams were scoreless in the ninth, sending the game into extra innings.
• Two defensive miscues by Saint Michael's put runners on for the Panthers with no outs in the 10th.
• The Purple Knights' closer, Jerry Guzman, struck out the next two hitters and had Ramos down to two strikes. With the wind playing a factor, Ramos found no man's land with a ball in play, scoring two runs and giving Adelphi a 10-8 lead.
• In the bottom of the 10th, Saint Michael's loaded the bases with no outs after a walk, a single, and defensive miscommunication by the Panthers. The Purple Knights capitalized, winning the game 11-10 on a bases-clearing double by Guzman.
