HOFSTRA PULLS OUT 10-9 BASEBALL WIN OVER JMU
4/21/2007 4:00:00 AM | Baseball
HARRISONBURG, Va., April 21, 2007 ? Sophomore Chris Mentrasti's (Harstdale, N.Y./Archbishop Stephinae) fielder's choice groundout in the top of the ninth proved to be the game winner as Hofstra University defeated James Madison University 10-9 in a Colonial Athletic Association baseball game Saturday afternoon at Long Field/Mauck Stadium.
HU improved to 14-26 overall and 7-12 in the CAA. The Pride snapped a five-game losing streak and won for the fifth time in the last five meetings against the Dukes. JMU dropped to 14-25 overall and 6-12 in conference.
The Hofstra win came after JMU scored four runs in the bottom of the eighth to tie the game, capped by a two-run double by senior Davis Stoneburner (Richmond, Va./Mills Godwin).
The Pride started the ninth inning with consecutive runners reaching base on errors by JMU freshman third baseman Matt Browning (Mystic, Conn./Fitch), the first on a ground ball and the second on a sacrifice bunt attempt. That set the table with first and third and nobody out for Mentrasti's RBI.
JMU got a leadoff hit from redshirt sophomore Lee Bujakowski (Hopewell, Va./Hopewell) in the bottom of the frame. Pinch runner Bryan Lescanec (Charlottesville, Va./Western Albemarle) reached second on a sacrifice bunt by sophomore Brett Garner (Burke, Va./Lake Braddock) and third on an errant throw on a failed pickoff attempt. However, redshirt freshman Chris Johnson (Shrewsbury, N.J./Red Bank Catholic) struck out and redshirt senior Mitchell Moses (Richmond, Va./Mills Godwin) flew out to deep centerfield to end the game.
Senior Will DeVito (Hicksville, N.Y./Chaminade) picked up the win in relief for Hofstra, working the final 1 1/3 innings. Senior Charlie Frago (Cromwell, Conn./Cromwell) started and allowed nine runs, eight earned, on nine hits.
Senior Jacob Cook (Mechanicsville, Va./Lee-Davis) was the hard-luck loser, with his run allowed in the ninth being unearned. He allowed two hits and struck out two in two innings. Sophomore Justin Wood (Dayton, Va./Turner Ashby) started and had a no-hitter through the first four innings before the Pride bats caught up. He allowed seven runs on eight hits in six innings.
Offensively for Hofstra, Mentrasti drove in three runs and scored twice with a pair of hits. Senior Andrew Campana, (Piscataway, N.J./Piscataway), freshman Matt Prokopowicz (Massapequa, N.Y./Massapequa), and junior Tom Caltabiano (Massapequa Park, N.Y./Massapequa) each had two hits and an RBI.
Stoneburner and Bujakowski each had two hits and two RBIs for the Dukes, with Bujakowski's coming on a two-run home run in the first inning, his third of the season. Junior Kellen Kulbacki (Palmyra, Pa./Hershey) hit a three-run home run in the fifth inning. It was his 16th home run of the season to pull into a tie for the CAA lead and increased his JMU career record to 48.
After six errors in Friday's game, Stoneburner led off the game reaching on an error by Prokopowicz, the third baseman, and advanced to second. Kulbacki grounded out to move him to third, and Stoneburner came in to score on a towering home run to right field by Bujakowski.
The Pride had gone down in order through the first four innings, with the only base runner wiped out on a double play, before Prokopowicz picked up a lead-off single in the fifth. A sacrifice bunt and a walk put two on with one out before Mentrasti singled up the middle for the first RBI of the day for Hofstra. A two-out single up the middle by Caltabiano tied the score at 2-2. An error by Stoneburner brought in the go-ahead run for the Pride.
The Dukes wasted little time regaining the two-run advantage. Junior Joe Lake (Elkridge, Md./Long Reach) led off the bottom of the frame
