by Vinny Amodeo Offense beat offense in today\u2019s contest as American International College won the scoring battle against Adelphi\u00a0in a 10-7 victory this afternoon. The scoring, although, was started by the Panthers\u00a0in the first as they shook up any confidence that starting pitcher Jason Coscio had coming into this game, or though it seemed. The bottom half of the first inning featured five straight hits from the two through six batters in Adelphi\u2019s lineup, leading to four runs in the inning. The inning was highlighted by a two-RBI triple from senior Alex Zykoff that snuck into the right center gap. AIC didn\u2019t wait long to answer back as the designated hitter, Karl Kapinos, hit a sky-high home run that cleared the right field fence by a long shot. This set the tone for a productive day at the plate for Kapinos as he went 2-for-3 with two runners batted in and two runs scored. The third inning featured another pair of runs for AIC as they were slowly cutting into Adelphi\u2019s early lead. A single from Brendan Carter led to back-to-back singles from Tyler Geffert and Chris Starcun. Starcun\u2019s single scored the second run for American International, while a dropped fly ball by Eric Hassell, hit by Kris White, would lead to another run being scored in the top of the third. Moving into the fifth inning after a scoreless fourth, AIC saw themselves down by just one run as Croscio began to settle in and find his groove.
