BASEBALL HOLDS OFF SETON HALL TUESDAY, 7-6

WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ – Monmouth University Baseball (15-14) improved to 8-0 at home, holding off a late Seton Hall University (8-23) charge to beat the Pirates 7-6 Tuesday. Reed Interdonato picked up his first career win while five different Hawks drove in runs in the victory.
 
Monmouth grabbed a 1-0 lead on Alex Barker's single to the right field corner in the first, and Interdonato pitched through some trouble to keep the Pirates off the board through three. Cory Hiltz and Michael Dimino also pitched in with scoreless outings, allowing MU to add runs in the sixth. Jay Bant drew a bases loaded walk before Mason Wolf snuck a two-run single to right to make it 4-1.
 
Seton Hall got on the board on a ground out in the seventh, but Monmouth responded with three. Dixon Black lined a double down the line to score one, and James Harmstead followed with a double to the wall in left to bring in another. Bant singled the other way and made it 7-1 Monmouth through seven.
 
SHU got back in the game in the eighth, with Moss hitting a three-run homer to left center to make it 7-4. Hernandez brought in another run with a base hit before Mason Miller came on to strike out Murray and end the inning. Seton Hall got within one in the ninth, but a 6-4-3 double play ended the game and earned Dixon Black his first career save.
 
NOTES AND QUOTES
 
"Our guys battled for all nine today and did what we needed to do. We played good defense and created a few three-run innings. Reed battled to hold the game in check at 1-0 and Mason Miller came in to get that big out late in the game. The lineup was able to manufacture some runs- some big hits late in the game. It was nice to see some guys contribute that have been working hard and waiting for their opportunity." – Head Coach Dean Ehehalt
