The Adelphi Panthers rode the right arm of their ace, Jonathon Mulford, and 10 hits to record a big 3-0 victory over Pace.
The Panthers got on the board in the second inning on a two-run double by Donato Signore, which scored Vincent Sharkey and Rich Cambria. Signore now has 11 RBI on the season.
In the following inning, Nick Zito hit an RBI single to score Signore and increase the score to 3-0.
In the meantime, Mulford weas mowing down the Knights. He allowed only two hits, while walking one and striking out five in five shutout innings. He needed only 69 pitches. His ERA dropped to 2.34.
He was relieved by Nick Batas, who threw three shutout innings. He has been very effective this season, his ERA is now 3.22 and opponents are hitting a measly .192.
Closer Mike Cranston came on and worked around a leadoff walk to record the save. He got Nick LoBello, a graduate of Baldwin HS and .317 hitter, to roll into a 4-6-3 DP.
With the victory, the Panthers are now 14-14 and they will host Dominican today.
