Dowling Rolls Over Adelphi
Photo Credit: Vinny Messana Dowling did some spring cleaning at their home field today in the form of a 12-1 victory over fellow Division-II Long Island program Adelphi. The Golden Lions wasted no time putting up a three spot in the first. Dan Parisi singled home Jon Cruz, executed a double steal which scored RJ Going and then came around on a wild pitch by Michael Tarpey (4 IP, 6 R, 4 ER, 1 K). They added one in the second on an RBI ground by Adam Schuster. He also sparked another rally in the fifth inning when he drove in Cruz with an RBI triple. He came around to score on Going’s RBI single and he scored when Tyler Piccolo grounded out to 3b. Adelphi got on the board in the sixth inning with a sac fly by Tyler Murphy to cut the lead to 7-1.

Adelphi Panthers Sweep Doubleheader in Home Opener against Assumption
Jesse Borek — Staff Writer GARDEN CITY, New York — It took Mother Nature long enough to relent and allow the Adelphi Panthers to have their home opener, but it was worth every waking moment as the club swept Assumption College to inch closer back to the .500 mark, now sitting at 4-5 on the year. In the opener, junior ace Jonathon Mulford took to the hill, and outside of a bumpy first inning, was brilliant. After serving up a three-run home run in the opening frame, Mulford would shut down the Greyhound offense up until his exit from the contest. Going seven innings strong, Mulford threw a whopping 121 pitches on Sunday afternoon. Yet, he never truly seemed to lose a lot of velocity on his fastball, only opting for more curveballs as the game progressed. Over those seven fram...
Adelphi Loses Despite Sharkey’s Torrid Streak
Photo Credit: Adelphi Athletics When Adelphi lost Cliff Brantley and Rich Mejia to pro ball and graduation, respectively, it appeared they would have a hole in the lineup. Well, after two games Vincent Sharkey is making his case to fill those tremendous shoes. In Saturday’s 7-6 loss to Nova Southeastern, the Lynbrook native went 3-for-5 with three RBI to bring his season total to seven hits in just two games. He drove in two of those runs with a bases loaded single in the sixth inning to cut the deficit from 6-0 to 6-4. Unfortunately, the Panthers could not manufacture the runs to tie up the game. Nova, who improved to 18-4 with the victory, teed off on sophomore starter TJ Santiago. He lasted 3.2 inning, allowed seven hits, walked four and was responsible for six runs (5 ER). The bu...
Adelphi Opens Up 2015 With Victory Over Nova
Photo Credit: Vinny Messana ‘Sorry 4 The Wait’ may have loosely been based on the 2015 baseball season. It only took halfway through March–and they had to travel to Fort Lauderdale, Fla to do so–but Adelphi finally was able to play their first game of the year. It was a surprising 8-3 victory over Nova Southeastern. It was surprising in the sense that northeast teams generally do no come out as sharp as the Panthers did against a 17-3 team that was in their home state. Of course, when you have a draft prospect like Jonathon Mulford, that makes the task more feasible. The Massapequa native fired five shutout innings, allowing only three hits, one walk while striking out five. The offense came out blazing, they compiled 15 hits–led by Vincent Sharkey‘s 4-f...
