The LIU Post Pioneers won a dramatic 2-1 game over Queens in 10 innings to clinch a postseason berth in the ECC tournament.
In the bottom of the 10th inning, Matt Bowers hit a walk off single to score Rich Maccarone and send the Pioneers into the playoffs. Dan Jagiello recorded the victory, he threw a scoreless 10th inning in relief of Jake DeCarli.
DeCarli continued his magical season. After allowing a run in the second inning, he threw seven scoreless innings. He finished with nine strikeouts, he allowed only five hits while walking two. His ERA sits at 0.92. In 59 innings he has allowed a ridiculous 30 hits–which equates to a .152 opponent average. He certainly deserved the victory, but the offense couldn’t get going against Queens’ starter Cameron Burke.
The Pioneers compiled 11 hits on offense–David Groeneveld led the way with three hits to boost his average to .295. Thomas Asbaty and reigning ECC Player of the Year Tom Tolan had two hits as well.
These two teams will play a DH tomorrow in Queens beginning at noon.
