The Farmingdale Rams won three of four games this weekend. They swept NYU-Poly and split with Old Westbury.
The first game against NYU-Poly was bizarre. Despite winning 19-6, they allowed 16 hits and needed five pitchers. Mike Dolce started and struggled through 1.2 innings. He was relieved by Kevin Martinez who fired three strong innings. Timmy Trimarchi went 2.1 shutout innings, allowing five hits. The Rams put up 17 hits and benefitted from eight errors. Tom Rydzewski led the way with four hits and four RBI, and Brendan Sullivan had three hits and four RBI. Anthony Alvino had three hits, four RBI and four runs scored. Ed Bergmann scored four runs and drove in one.
They won the next game 19-8. They briefly got a scare by allowing a six-run fifth inning to shrink their lead to 12-7 but NYU sloppy defense led to a seven-run ninth inning. Kevin Cashman started and went four innings, with Matt Seelinger following him with 1.1 innings. The offense pounded 20 hits; three each from Bergmann, Alvino, Richard Sullivan and Kenneth Johntry.
They won a wild one against Old Westbury, which I will save for its own post. They lost the final game 5-4 in nine innings on a sac fly by Jake Coners to tag Jim Powers with the loss.
Farmingdale is now 16-9 and will take on TCNJ tomorrow.
