The victory secures their spot in the Class A playoffs, as they will face Division in the first round on Tuesday.

Edigio would come through for the Bulldogs once again in the 3rd inning, driving in another run. Edigio’s RBI ...

Southern Connecticut Defeats Adelphi, 9-6, in Opening Round of NE-10 Tournament
Well, this wasn’t supposed to happen. Hours after getting ranked as the No. 6 Division-II in the nation, Adelphi dropped their first round NE-10 conference tournament game, 9-6, against Southern Connecticut who entered the game with a record of 19-26. Additionally, Adelphi was hosting the tournament and is slated to host the NCAA East Regional next week. They sent Ed Baram (7-1, 0.58 ERA) to the mound but it was not his day. He allowed two HRs in the second inning. Mike DeMartino got it going with a two-run shot to right and Nolan Cloutier followed with one to left to make it 3-0. The game was far from over, though. The Panthers got on the board in the home half of the third on a bases loaded walk to Brandon Warick to score Mike Cattani. In the top of the fourth, Baram ran into troub...
