The Pioneers of LIU Post<\/strong> capped a successful Florida trip with a dramatic 8-7 victory over Bloomfield<\/strong> College. Freshman Dave Brehm<\/strong> beat out an infield single between shortstop and third base for the winning run, which was their fourth win in five games in Florida.<\/p>\n

Coach Gaffney sent freshman James Varela<\/strong> to the hill, who had gotten off to a very strong start to his career. He struggled today, however, allowing four ER in five innings and left with the Pioneers trailing 5-2.<\/p>\n
Reliever Dillon Burke<\/strong> allowed two runs to score in the seventh to increase the deficit to 7-3. At that point, it appeared unlikely they would head home on a positive note.<\/p>\n
