Nitti Breaks Hit Record During Split at Thunder Ballpark

Trenton, N.J. – Stockton University (12-14, 2-6 NJAC) split an NJAC doubleheader against The College of New Jersey (17-10, 6-2 NJAC) that was played at Trenton Thunder Ballpark. The Ospreys doubled the Lions 4-2 in the first game but then fell 12-4 in the second game.
 
Playing near his hometown, Jordan Nitti (Hamilton/Steinert) became Stockton's all-time leader with his 193rd career hit during the nightcap, breaking the mark of 192 hits by Matt Allen (2007-10). Nitti began the day with 190 hits and totaled three in the doubleheader.
 
In the opener, Austin Beard (Toms River/TR South) went 2-4 with a run and an RBI while Evan Bresnen (Allentown/Steinert) was 2-4 with an RBI. Joe Gmitter (Hamilton/Steinert) added a double and an RBI for the Ospreys.
 
Stockton scored once each in the first and fourth innings followed by two runs in the sixth for a 4-0 lead. TCNJ cut the lead in half at 4-2 with two runs in the eighth frame, but Reece Miller (Toms River/TR East) shut the door in the ninth for his 16th career save to tie the Stockton record of John Lightbody (2010-11).
 
Stockton lefty Antonio Sansone (Middletown/Middletown North) went six scoreless innings, allowing just two hits with nine strikeouts for the pitching victory.
 
Nitti went 2-4 with an RBI in the nightcap. The senior tied the school record with a single in the second inning and broke the mark with another single in the fourth frame.
 
Gmitter tallied one hit and one RBI while Michael Antonucci (Manasquan/Manasquan) went 1-3 with two walks and two runs. An RBI single by Gmitter scored Antonucci in the top of the first for a short-lived 1-0 lead.
 
TCNJ answered with four runs in the bottom half for a 4-1 count. The game slipped away from Stockon in the middle innings as the Lions put up three runs in the fourth inning and five in the fifth. The Ospreys never recovered and suffered the 12-4 setback.
 
Stockton used four pitchers, with Tim Welsh (Allentown/Allentown) and Danny Snyder (Mt. Laurel/Lenape) combining for 3.2 scoreless innings later in the game. Welsh struck out two batters in 1.2 innings of work followed by Snyder with two whiffs in two innings on the mound.
 
Stockton will play an NJAC doubleheader at Montclair State on Saturday at 11:30 a.m.
