Baseball Wins Behind Early Offensive Explosion

AUBURNDALE, FL. – The St. John Fisher University baseball team powered its way to a 14-8 victory over SUNY Maritime College on Wednesday afternoon in RussMatt baseball action.

The Cardinals improve to 6-2 and are winners of three straight.

Fisher erupted for 14 runs on 14 hits and drew nine walks in a balanced offensive effort. Jordan Perry led the way, going 3-for-6 with a double, three RBIs, and two stolen bases. Jack Griffin reached base four times, finishing with two hits, two walks, three runs scored, and an RBI. Jacob Penafeather added two doubles and drove in two, while Noah Pohrte tallied two hits, including a double, and two RBIs. Jackson Frey chipped in two hits, highlighted by a triple, and scored twice as the Cardinals put constant pressure on Maritime pitching.

On the mound, Sean Cleary (1-0) earned the win, striking out six over four innings while allowing two runs on four hits. Nathan Weber closed the door in the ninth with two strikeouts to secure the victory. As a staff, Fisher pitchers combined for 12 strikeouts.

How It Happened

Fisher wasted no time jumping ahead in the first inning. After Griffin worked a walk and Brendan Bucello was hit by a pitch, Perry laced a two-run double to put the Cardinals on the board. Sleurs followed with an RBI single to cap a three-run frame and give Fisher a 3-0 lead.

Maritime answered with single runs in the second and third innings, but the Cardinals responded with a decisive seven-run outburst in the bottom of the second. Frey tripled to open the inning and scored on an RBI single from Mario Cubello, who later stole two bases. Perry added an RBI single before Penafeather roped a two-run double and Pohrte followed with a two-run double of his own to stretch the lead to 10-1.

After Maritime plated another run in the third, Fisher added to its advantage in the bottom half. Shortino delivered an RBI single to make it 11-2.

The Privateers rallied for three runs in the fifth and added single tallies in the sixth and ninth, trimming the deficit to 11-6. Fisher, however, put the game out of reach in the eighth inning. Penafeather doubled and later scored, Cubello drew a bases-loaded walk, and Griffin reached on an error that allowed two more runs to cross. A passed ball brought home another run as the Cardinals extended the lead to 14-6.

Weber struck out two in the ninth to halt Maritime's final push and seal the 14-8 win.
