DOMBROSKI, LONG BALL LEAD MU TO 7TH MAAC WIN IN A ROW

HAMDEN, CT – Trey Dombroski struck out a career-high 13 batters, and Alex Barker and James Harmstead both homered as Monmouth University Baseball (17-14, 7-0 MAAC) took out Quinnipiac University (7-20, 1-6 MAAC) 7-4 Thursday to open league play 7-0.
 
After the first two Hawks reached to open the game, Barker unloaded on a 2-0 pitch to make it 3-0 Hawks early. Dombroski recorded nine strikeouts in the first four innings, with the Bobcats only runs coming on a pair of solo home runs. After a Barker walk in the fifth, Harmstead added to his league lead with his 10th homer of the season, a three-run blast to make it 5-2.
 
Dombroski continued to deal, keeping MU ahead before Jake Catalano hit a two-run double in the eighth to extend the lead to 7-3. The Bobcats added a run in the eighth, but Stephen Aldrich struck out two in the ninth to end the game.
 
NOTES AND QUOTES
 
"Good team win today. Excellent pitching, solid defense and some big hits. Trey threw the ball well and showed why he is the competitor that he is; Aldrich came in and closed the door. Barker staked us to a nice lead early and Harmstead followed in the middle of the game with the big home runs, then Catalano battled with his two-RBI AB. Catalano continually fought in his at-bat and got that big two-strike double. Mutz scoring from first base on that ball was a huge play as well. We did a lot of good things today that enabled us to win." – Head Coach Dean Ehehalt
