NYIT rode the hot bat of Louis Mele, who drove in three runs, in their 5-1 victory over Iona to improve to 10-20 on the season.
Mele, a sophomore and a graduate of Island Trees HS, has been a bright spot for the Bears this season. He is leading the team in virtually every offensive category. He has 34 hits, including five HR and 27 RBIs with a slash line of .366/.413/.602 for a team with a team AVG of .235.
Chris Johnson won his second game of the season, he threw 7.1 innings, allowing one ER on five hits and three BB with four Ks.
Michael Auriemmo closed it out with 1.2 shutout innings allowing just one walk.
The Bears will host Binghamton in a three-game series this weekend as they look to inch closer to the .500 mark.
