Baseball Dominates Wagner in Midweek Contest
Mar 07 | Baseball
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.Ā āĀ Rutgers baseball put together a complete team effort to cruise to an 18-3 victory over Wagner on Tuesday afternoon in Staten Island.Ā
Ā
Ryan LaskoĀ set the tone early, blasting a home run off the batter's eye in center field on the very first pitch of the game.
Ā
Getting the ball as the starting pitcher, Justin SinibaldiĀ controlled the game on theĀ mound in a career effort. He threw 5.0 innings, allowed just 1 unearned run, yielded three hits, walked one and struck out a career high seven batters to earn the win.Ā
He was relieved by Andrew Goldan, who tossed 2.0 innings and allowed 2 runs. Matt Rowe saw his first action of the season, finishing the game with 2.0 scoreless innings and a strikeout.Ā
Offensively, the Scarlet Knights were firing on all cylinders, highlighted by a 9-run top of the fourth inning. Evan Sleight had the first RBI of the inning with an infield single to score Josh Kuroda-GrauerĀ and make it 3-1. Sleight would add another run-scoring hit in the same inning, driving in Kuroda-Grauer once again with an RBI double to make it 11-1.Ā
In between Sleight's two RBI hits, Lasko, Trevor Cohen and Kuroda-Grauer all drove in runs of their own to help the cause.Ā
Pablo Santos drove in the first run of his career in the fifth, lifting a sac fly to center to score Cohen. Jordan Sweeney cleared the bases with a 3-run double in the seventh and Andy Axelson had the exclamation point with a 3-run home run in the eighth, the first of his career.Ā
Rutgers is back in action this weekend when it travels down to Statesboro to take on Georgia Southern in a three-game series.Ā
