Palisades Park, NJ (March 29, 2016) – The Purchase College baseball team opened up Skyline Conference action with a 26-1 victory over Yeshiva University at the Palisades Park Baseball Field on Tuesday evening.  The second game of the doubleheader was declared a "no contest".

Purchase scored in all but two innings, including 10 runs in the top of the seventh to secure the win. The game ended in seven innings because of the 10-run conference rule.

Newcomer Nick Tuozzola (FR/Milford, CT) added another two hits, including a triple in the first inning, and three RBI in three appearances at the plate.    William Kaul (SR/Eastchester, NY) batted 2-for-6 with a game-high four RBI.

Purchase starting pitcher Lukas Chin (SO/Spring Valley, NY) did not allow a run or walk over three innings of action on the mound.  Dominic Micara (FR/Massapequa, NY), Andrew Fingerhut (JR/Smithtown, NY) and Joshua Frank (FR/Dix Hills, NY) closed out the game in relief.
