Stockton Drops First Two League Tilts to Montclair State

Montclair, NJ – Stockton University (3-11, 0-2 NJAC) traveled to Montclair State (13-6, 2-0 NJAC) but dropped two close games to the Red Hawks 7-6 and 5-4 in the NJAC opener for both squads. Joe LaCava (Toms River/Toms River North) led the Ospreys with three hits and three RBI on the day.
 
Game one saw Stockton jump out to a 3-1 lead after seven frames before the Red Hawks took a 4-3 lead in the eighth inning. The Ospreys answered in their half of the ninth inning, with RBI from Rico Viani (Monroe Twp. /Monroe Twp.), JJ Swentkowski (Egg Harbor Twp. /EHT) and Nick D'Arcy (Toms River/Toms River East) to re-claim the lead at 6-4.
 
The Red Hawks captured game one of the twin bill in their half of the frame. A walk, two hits and two wild pitches helped to take the contest 7-6. Ray Hughes (Forked River/Lacey) threw well, tossing seven innings allowing one run, two hits and striking out nine. He did not factor in the decision.
 
Stockton had to come from behind in the nightcap as they fell behind 4-1 after four innings. The Ospreys closed the gap to 4-3 in the top of the fifth with two away. John Perrino (Wall/Wall) reached on an error, Garrhet Reedy (Tinton Falls/Monmouth) singled and Swentkowski followed up with a single plating Perrino for one run.
 
Joe Cashman (Bordentown/Bordentown) and LaCava were hit by pitches allowing Reedy to score and the margin was 4-3 in favor of the Red Hawks. The Ospreys knotted the game in the seventh frame as Swentkowski singled, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt, third on a wild pitch, the scored on a LaCava single for the 4-4 tie.
 
Unfortunately Montclair State took a 5-4 lead on a sacrifice fly in their half of the seventh inning and made it hold up for the doubleheader sweep. Brandon Perna (Cherry Hill/CH West) started for Stockton on the hill, throwing seven innings with four strikeouts, but suffered the loss. Viani finished up, throwing one inning in relief
 
The Ospreys will play their home opener on Tuesday as they will face Lehman College in a non-conference tilt. First Pitch is set for 3:30 pm.
