PATCHOGUE, N.Y. - The Purchase College baseball team earned a pair of Skyline Conference wins Sunday afternoon, topping St. Joseph's College-Brooklyn by the scores of 4-2 and 10-4.

With the wins, the Panthers are now 10-11 overall and 6-4 in the conference. Meanwhile, the Bears fell to 3-17 and 1-9, respectively.

Game 1: Purchase 4, SJC-Brooklyn 2 (7 inn.)

After the two sides started the day with a pair of scoreless innings, the Panthers broke the deadlock with three runs in the third.

Louis Carvell (JR/New York, NY) knocked in the first run off an RBI-single. Two batters later, Mason Compton (FR/Carmel, NY) collected an RBI on a groundout to second base, before Carvell scored the third run following a Bears' throwing error.

One frame later, James May (SR/Floral Park, NY) hit an RBI-single to score Christian Homa (SO/Fairfield, CT) and extend the margin to 4-0.

In the bottom half of the fourth inning, St. Joseph's scored its only two runs of the game, both of which came from wild pitches from Panthers' starter, Myles Scarry (SO/Levittown, NY).

Scarry went four innings in the win, allowing just the two runs on three hits. He was then replaced by Justin Doskoez (SO/Eastport, NY), who closed out the final three innings after allowing just three hits along the way.

Homa finished with a game-high three hits, two runs and a walk.

Game 2: Purchase 10, SJC-Brooklyn 4

While game one's final score ended up being close, the result was never really in doubt. That narrative flipped in game two though, as the Panthers and Bears played a much tighter affair before the guests blew it open late.

To begin, May pushed the Panthers in front with an RBI-double in the first. The score remained 1-0 in favor of Purchase until the bottom of the fourth, when the hosts tied things up via an error.

In the fifth, the hosts plated two runs off an RBI-single and double, gaining their first lead of the afternoon, 3-1.

The Panthers continued to trail until the seventh inning, when their offense finally regained its hitting form.

In the frame, James Shea (SR/Brooklyn, NY) hit a sacrifice bunt to score the second Panther run, before back-to-back RBI-singles from Homa and May handed the guests the lead at 4-3.

One inning later, Purchase busted the game wide-open by doubling its run total.

Compton started the run with an RBI-single to make it 5-3. Homa then drew a bases-loaded walk to push the lead to 6-3, before a St. Joseph's error let two more runs score.

In the bottom of the eight, the hosts tallied one run to cut the margin to 8-4, before the Panthers closed out the game with two more runs in the ninth.

In total, Purchase recorded 13 hits in the victory, as Jason Sebastiano (SO/Brooklyn, NY) finished with three of them. 

On the mound, Ryan Castrataro (JR/Mahopac, NY) did everything asked of him. He went 6.1 innings, allowed three runs (one earned) on seven hits and struckout three.

Up next for the Panthers is more Skyline Conference road action, as the team travels to USMMA on April 16th for a doubleheader. First pitch is set for noon.
