4/20/2007 4:00:00 AM | Baseball
HARRISONBURG, Va., April 20, 2007 ? James Madison University broke open a close game with seven runs in the third and five in the fourth en route to a 21-8 win over Hofstra University in game one of a Colonial Athletic Association series on Friday at Long Field/Mauck Stadium.
JMU improved to 14-24 overall and 6-11 in the CAA. The Dukes won their third in a row, tying a season high, and scored 19 unanswered runs after trailing 5-2 early. JMU batted around three times in the game. HU fell to 13-26 overall and 6-12 in conference play.
Redshirt sophomore Kurt Houck (Gilbertsville, Pa./Boyertown) settled down after a rocky start to earn his third straight victory. He worked four scoreless frames after allowing five runs in the first three innings. Overall he allowed five runs on nine hits in seven innings.
Senior Ryan Dunn (East Islip, N.Y./St. Anthony's) took the loss for Hofstra, allowing nine runs, five earned, on six hits in 2 1/3 innings. He combined with three relievers to issue 10 walks and hit five JMU batters for 15 free bases. Six Hofstra errors also contributed to the free trips on the base paths.
Redshirt sophomore Lee Bujakowski (Hopewell, Va./Hopewell) continued his hot play, going 3-for-5 with two runs and three RBIs. Junior Kellen Kulbacki (Palmyra, Pa./Hershey) scored three times while breaking the JMU record for walks in a game with five. Nine players had previously walked four times. He was the only starter who did not record a hit, snapping a seven-game hitting streak.
Sophomore Brett Garner (Burke, Va./Lake Braddock) had two hits, two runs, and three RBIs. Senior Davis Stoneburner (Richmond, Va./Mills Godwin), redshirt senior Mitchell Moses (Richmond, Va./Mills Godwin), and redshirt junior Joe Lake (Elkridge, Md./Long Reach) each had two hits.
Senior Andrew Campana (Piscataway, N.J./Piscataway) had two hits and three RBIs for Hofstra. Junior Matt Kougasian (Rochelle Park, N.J./St. Joseph Regional) had two hits and scored twice while sophomore Nick Panzarella (Three Bridges, N.J./Immaculata) also added two hits.
The Dukes scored first in the first inning after an infield single by Stoneburner and a walk by Kulbacki. Stoneburner was retired as the lead runner of a double steal attempt. Kulbacki moved to third on a groundout and came in to score on a single by Garner just over the head of Chris Mentrasti (Harstdale, N.Y./Archbishop Stephinae) at second. Redshirt freshman Steven Caseres (New City, N.Y./St. Joseph Regional) appeared to pop up to end the inning, but Dunn was called for a balk on the pitch, moving Garner to second and continuing the inning. Caseres walked and Moses followed with an infield single that got away from the short stop, allowing Garner to score.
Hofstra had back-to-back singles to lead off the second. Panzarella was retired at third on the front end of a double steal attempt. After Patrick Rogers (Centereach, N.Y./Centereach) was hit by a pitch, George Carroll (Bayside, N.Y./Holy Cross) doubled just past the diving Lake at third into left field for an RBI. Two more runs came in on a double to the gap in right center by Campana.
A single by Kougasian and a single by freshman Matt Prokopowicz (Massapequa, N.Y./Massapequa) where he advanced to second on the throw set up second and third with nobody out for Hofstra. Panzarella singled to bring in one run. Mentrasti then walked on four pitches to load the bases. Lake made a diving stop to retire the first runner at home, and fielded another fielder's choice for the second out at home. Campana reached on an infield single to score another Hofstra run, but Stoneburner caught Rogers off the base at third for a rundown to end the inning.
