Molloy has spent this weekend showing that they know how to score. After a double-header with Concordia, where they scored a combined 23 runs on the day, Molloy added another 10 in today’s win over Dominican.
The question with Molloy is not whether they can score enough to win, but whether they can limit the opposition enough.. When they get performances from their starters like the one from today by Timothy Panetta, then Molloy will certainly be tough to beat moving forward. Panetta was dominant on the day, carrying a five-hit shutout into the 9th inning today.
He did fall into some trouble in the 9th as Dominican was able to get six runs across (two earned to Panetta). Still it was the exact type of performance Molloy was looking for.
The bats were equally impressive as they were able to get runs across all day. Matt Overton, Chris Peralta, and Nick Marino were all especially impressive as they each drove in multiple runs. The lineup as a whole was great as collectively, they reached base 21 times.
As for Dominican the bats were quiet until the 9th, where they showed no quit even down 10. They were able to get six runs across and where one batter away from getting the tying run to the plate.
Dominican falls to 7-6 on the season while Molloy improves to 3-9. Molloy’s next game is Tuesday against Adelphi, while Dominican next plays against Caldwell on Wednesday.
