Galloway, NJ – Stockton University (5-18, 1-5 NJAC) could not withstand an early barrage of runs by Immaculata University (8-14) and dropped an 18-9 non-conference contest on Tuesday afternoon.

How it Happened
The Mighty Macs scored eight times in the first two frames, before Stockton responded with a pair of markers in the bottom of the third. Avagnano singled for two RBI.
 
The visitors stretched the margin to 17-3, when Stockton started to rally. In the bottom of the sixth, Dom Vizzoni (Trenton/Notre Dame) plated a run, and the second tally came on a wild pitch to make it 17-5.
 
Another single run in the seventh, made it 17-6, then in the eighth frame, Schwinn and Halvorsen, a two-run shot, homered to make it 18-9 but the Ospreys could get no closer.
