When Adelphi lost Cliff Brantley and Rich Mejia to pro ball and graduation, respectively, it appeared they would have a hole in the lineup. Well, after two games Vincent Sharkey is making his case to fill those tremendous shoes.
In Saturday’s 7-6 loss to Nova Southeastern, the Lynbrook native went 3-for-5 with three RBI to bring his season total to seven hits in just two games.
He drove in two of those runs with a bases loaded single in the sixth inning to cut the deficit from 6-0 to 6-4. Unfortunately, the Panthers could not manufacture the runs to tie up the game.
Nova, who improved to 18-4 with the victory, teed off on sophomore starter TJ Santiago. He lasted 3.2 inning, allowed seven hits, walked four and was responsible for six runs (5 ER).
The bullpen did bring their A game. Will Hickey and Ricky Van Allen combined for 4.1 of one run ball.
Robert Vani knocked two hits and scored three runs for the Rams and Mike Stack added two hits and two RBI.
The two teams will conclude their three-game series tomorrow at noon.
