MONMOUTH BASEBALL SHUTS OUT NIAGARA FRIDAY, 8-0

WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ – Trey Dombroski and Stephen Aldrich combined for a shutout, and James Harmstead homered as Monmouth University Baseball (13-14, 4-0 MAAC) moved to 4-0 in the league with an 8-0 win over Niagara University (2-22, 0-4 MAAC) Friday.
 
Dombroski only allowed two runners as far as second base, and Aldrich surrendered just one base runner on the day. Dombroski struck out seven, cruising through seven innings to earn his fourth win of the season.
 
After taking the lead on a fielder's choice in the third, MU exploded for five in the fifth. Casey Caufield and Alex Barker contributed RBI singles before Harmstead launched a three-run shot down the left field line to make it 6-0. The Hawks added a pair in the eighth on Dixon Black's two-run double inside the third base bag to win it 8-0.
 
NOTES AND QUOTES
 
"Solid team win today. We received excellent pitching, made some nice plays on defense and were aggressive on the bases. Offensively, the lineup was able to do enough to create opportunities and string some good AB's together in order to have the big inning. Trey and Aldrich pieced together a nice ballgame, James with the big hit. Looking forward to getting back at it tomorrow." – Head Coach Dean Ehehalt
