After winning three of four this weekend, Farmingdale State is back in the mix in the Skyline Conference playoff picture.

We covered the DH on Saturday in which they split with Mount St. Vincent’s. After losing the first game 19-8, they responded by winning the next three games this weekend. 

On Sunday afternoon, they shutout Purchase 10-0 in the first game. They smacked 20 hits and held them to two. The game was over in the first inning after the Rams took a 6-0 lead.

Incredibly, Purchase’s starting pitcher threw a complete game while allowing 20 hits. Domenic Palumbo and Matteo Gaudio were particularly cruel to him, both compiling four hits. Anthony Alvino, Mike Marino and Kenneth Johntry both had two hits.

Matt Seelinger recorded the victory, he threw seven shutout innings striking out nine and walking one for his second win of the season.

In the second game, the Rams won 5-2 thanks to a three-run third inning. Domenic Palumbo hit a sac fly and Mike Marino and Dalton McCarthy both hit RBI singles.

Christopher Reilly started and went three innings, allowing one ER. He was relieved by Ryan O’Connor who threw two shutout innings for his fourth victory of the season. He also started on the previous day.

Alex Pangouelias recorded his fourth save of the season with 1.1 spotless innings.

They are now 13-13 on the season. They will travel to Staten Island Wednesday before concluding their conference schedule this weekend against Maritime.
