Game 2: St. Joseph's 11, Purchase 1 (7 inn)
The second contest of the day didn't fix the offensive woes for the guests, as they managed just the one run on four hits in the loss.
The run came in the sixth inning, after
Tyler Della Mura (SO/Rye Brook, NY) drove in
Luke DiLorenzo (New York, NY)Â with an RBI-groundout.Â
Besides that, game two was all Golden Eagles as they scored five runs in the first, three in the third, and then one apiece in the fourth, fifth and six innings.
