St. Peter’s Hands Fairleigh Dickinson Baseball 7-5 Defeat
Pat Geroni goes 4-for-5 with a home run and two RBI.

Box Score 

Teaneck, N.J. – First baseman Pat Geroni (Pt. Pleasant, N.J.) went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double and two runs batted in, but it wasn’t enough as the Fairleigh Dickinson baseball team dropped a 7-5 decision at the hands of visiting St. Peter’s on Wednesday afternoon.  The Knights’ record dropped to 6-31 overall.  Left fielder Jesse Lewandowski (Bayonne, N.J.) went 3-for-5 with a home run for the Peacocks, who improved to 9-23.

                St. Peter’s struck first, getting two runs in the top of the second inning on a run scoring single by first baseman Jason Garcia (W. New York, N.J.) and a sacrifice fly from catcher Mark Ortiz (W. New York, N.J.).  The Knights came back with a run in the bottom of the second on an RBI single off the bat of third baseman Nick Trincellita (Hoboken, N.J.) to cut the deficit to 2-1.

                The Peacocks got the run right back in the third on Lewandowski’s round tripper over the left centerfield fence to go back up by a pair at 3-1.  Fairleigh Dickinson cut it to 3-2 in the bottom of the frame, getting an RBI single from right fielder A.J. DiMichele (Centereach, N.Y.), but the Peacocks responded with a run in the fourth, two in the fifth and one in the sixth to build a 7-2 advantage.

                The Knights trimmed the lead to 7-4 in the seventh as they got a double from Geroni to score one and a run scoring ground out from catcher Matt Nugent (Staten Island, N.Y.)  They would get one more in the ninth on Geroni’s lead off solo shot, but Peacock reliever Dan Burdick (Linden, N.J.) set down the next three Knights to end the game.

                Dan Cainas (W. New York, N.J.) tossed the first five innings, scattered nine hits, struck out four and allowed two earned runs to improve to 2-2 on the year.  Designated hitter Russ Rinaldi (Paramus, N.J.) went 3-for-5 with a run batted in for the Peacocks.

                Fairleigh Dickinson collected 13 hits on the day.  Lenny Armenti (Bloomfield, N.J.), Rob Cicarini (Dumont, N.J.) and Nugent each had a pair of hits.

                The Knights return to action this weekend when they play at Long Island for a three-game NEC series.  They will play a doubleheader at 12 p.m. on Saturday and a single game at 12 p.m. on Sunday.
