Pleasantville, N.Y. – The Adelphi baseball team took a quick trip up to Westchester on Tuesday afternoon for its fourth and final game with Pace in 2026.

Series History:

• Adelphi (20-17, 16-12 NE10) is now 34-25 against Pace since March 2005.
• The last matchup was a 9-8 Panther win in Garden City last Wednesday after a clutch Zach DeMilt two-run home run.

Highlights:

• Bryan McCleary was 2-for-4 with four RBIs as the Panthers' three-hitter.
• Anthony Rigogliosi drove in the other Panther run on an RBI single.
• Eric Ressegger made the first start of his career, going 4.1 innings, allowing four earned runs and striking out two.

How It Happened:

• Pace got on the board first in the bottom of the first after a two-out RBI single.
• With the Adelphi bats quiet early on, the Setters extended their lead to 4-0 in the fifth inning.
• Three singles in a row pushed across the second Pace run of the afternoon, and a fourth single scored two more to make it 4-0. Billy Kind entered with one out in the inning and was excellent, escaping any further damage.
• The Panthers got on the board in the top of the sixth on a McCleary sacrifice fly.
• Adelphi cut the deficit to two in the seventh after Rigogliosi drove in Erick Duignan with an RBI single.
• The Panthers tied the game in the eighth after Johnny Catuosco drew a leadoff walk and McCleary hit a two-run home run.
• Kind ran into trouble in the eighth after a walk and two bunt singles. Pace capitalized with a bases-loaded, no one-out situation, scoring two to retake the lead and adding another on a bases-loaded walk to go up 7-4.
• In the ninth, Adelphi had the tying run at the plate after a DeMilt hit-by-pitch and a Catuosco double. McCleary drove in DeMilt with a sacrifice fly, but the Panthers fell, 7-5.

Up Next:

• Head coach Mike Gaffney and the Adelphi baseball team return to William J. Bonomo Field on Saturday afternoon for a doubleheader with AIC on Senior Day.
