The good news is the Adelphi pitching staff held Pace scoreless in the final seven innings. The bad news is they allowed 11 in the first two innings for the team’s second consecutive blowout loss.
Pace put up five in the first against Panther’s starter Kyle Garrison and six in the second off a combination of him and Michael Ceparano.
They got outplayed in all three facets of the game, with the offense putting up one run on seven hits while the defense committed three costly errors–a huge one on a pop fly in the first inning by Tyler Murphy and another one a botched ground ball by Mike Stack.
Pace batted around in the first two innings and Cf Andrew Coffey had three hits, scored two runs and drove in two. John Kukura also had three hits.
The highlight for the Panthers was Nick Batas, John Bivas, Ricky Van Allen and Mike Cranston combining to throw seven shutout innings in relief.
Their lone run came in the ninth inning on an RBI single by Nick Zito which scored Donato Signore.
The Panthers drop to 4-7, they will take on New Haven this weekend in a three-game series.
