Galloway, NJ – Stockton University (7-18, 4-6 NJAC) pounded out 23 hits and received solid pitching and timely defense as the Ospreys swept a doubleheader from the #1 team in the D3baseball.com national poll, Ramapo College (23-4-1, 7-3 NJAC), by scores of 7-2 and 4-1. Matt Poinsett (Ocean Gate/Msgr. Donovan) topped the Ospreys with six hits and scored three times on the day. The two wins on the day extended the Stockton winning streak to four.
 
Game one saw Stockton score all the runs they would need in the second inning to break the game open. After allowing a marker in the first inning, the Ospreys sent 10 batters to the plate, including six consecutive hits, scoring six runs. The big blow came from Matt Mangarella (Milltown/Spotswood), who knocked in two runs with a base hit to cap the uprising.
 
That's all Aidan Ryan (Cedar Run/Msgr. Donovan) would need as he allowed just one more run in picking up his second win and first complete game of the year. Stockton tacked on one final tally in their half of the seventh on a Vaughn Champion (Galloway/Absegami) RBI hit. Ryan allowed just three hits and two runs while striking out four batters in the 7-2 victory.
 
In addition to Poinsett's three hits, Tyler Hobbs (Brick/Brick Memorial), Mangarella and Champion picked up two hits each in the 12-hit attack.

The Ospreys plated two runs in the third inning. Poinsett doubled and later scored on a Dan Sweeney (Middletown/Middletown South) RBI groundout. Mangarella walked, advanced on an infield hit by Bryan Bessinger (Burlington Twp./Burlington Twp.) and scored on an RBI single by Champion for the 2-0 margin.
