Baseball Edged by Bryant in 12 Innings

SMITHFIELD, R.I. - Extra innings were needed to decide Sunday afternoon's game between the FDU Knights (3-14,2-10) and the Bryant Bulldogs (14-9-1, 11-1). The Bulldogs won the game in the 12th inning by a score of 9-8. 

How It Happened:
  • After three scoreless innings to open the game, Bryant jumped out in front after a solo home run
  • FDU responded in the 5th inning capitalizing on several Bulldogs errors and scored three runs in the frame
  • Junior pitcher Joey Kosowsky would hand the ball to classmate Brendan Medoro after going 4.2 innings allowing four runs
  • Down 5-3 in the 7th, the Knights loaded the bases with consecutive singles and a hit-by-pitch. Thanks to wild pitch the deficit was cut in half, but FDU squandered an opportunity for more runs leaving the bases loaded
  • Another Bryant error would get the eighth-inning rally started for FDU. Mike Veit's clutch hitting with a single brought TJ Werner across home plate to tie the game
  • FDU took the lead in the 9th inning by loading the bases on several walks and a hit-by-pitch. Mike Veit's ground ball was knocked off the Bryant second-baseman allowing two runs to score
  • Bryant answered in the 9th inning knotting the score back at seven and sending the game into extra innings
  • In the 11th inning, Justin Sierra had a timely base hit driving home Mike Veit to take the one-run lead
  • The Bulldogs would not go away scoring one run of their own forcing the game to the 12th inning
  • Bryant began the one-out rally in the 12th inning with a hit-by-pitch and then a double down the left-field line brought across the winning run for the Bulldogs

Inside the Box Score:
  • Coming in relief of Joey Kosowsky, Brendan Medoro kept the Knights in the game going 6.1 innings while giving up four runs off 12 hits, and striking out five
  • Mike Veit went 4-8 on the afternoon scoring three runs while driving in a pair of runners 
  • Junior Tom Ruscitti went 2-4 but reached base seven times as he was walked once, and got hit-by-pitch twice 
  • FDU had 20 baserunners left on base in the game
Next Up:

The Knights return to Teaneck for a three-game series with Mount St. Mary's (5-20, 1-11) beginning Friday, April 16 at 3 p.m.
