Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 After a 1-6 start, the College of Staten Island men's baseball squad has turned the tide, ripping off their sixth and seventh straight wins today as part of CUNYAC action against the Lehman College Lightning in a twinbill played this afternoon at the CSI Baseball Complex. The final scores were 5-1 and 9-0. With the wins, CSI improved to 8-6 overall and ran their conference mark to a perfect 4-0, while the Lightning dipped to 4-7, 2-2, respectively.

In the opener, CSI got a sterling pitching effort from senior Pat Gale, who went the distance, giving up a lone earned run off of five Lehman hits, fanning nine while walking only three on the cold afternoon. Gale got all the run support he would need in the game's third inning, as the Dolphins plated a pair of runs on a Henry Roman looping single to right field, scoring Dan Lynch and Mark Glennerster, who also hit safely in the inning off of Lehman starter Brian Cubero.

After the Lightning registered a run in their half of fourth inning, CSI responded with another pair of runs in their fourth inning turn. Matthew Morales tripled in Joe Falcone, and Morales followed by crossing the plate via a passed ball. Gale aided his own cause with an RBI-single in the fifth inning to make the final score 5-1.

Despite the loss, Cubero was also crisp for Lehman, going the complete game allowing only three earned runs on five CSI hits, fanning five.

In game two, CSI got another pitching gem by Richard Anderson, who tossed six masterful innings combining for the shutout with Jonathan Aponte and Matthew Schwartz who came in to shut the door in the seventh inning of the 9-0 affair. Anderson walked none, yielding just two hits while seating six batters via the strikeout.

CSI scored eight of their 9 runs in the first three innings. A Falcone RBI-single accounted for CSI's lone first-inning run, and CSI added three more off of Lehman starter Justin Moises via a Bryan Moreno sac fly, and runs by Glennerster and Lynch on a wild pitch and passed ball. For extra measure, CSI added two more runs in both the third and fourth innings, highlighted by a Dan Lynch RBI-single in the third. CSI was also aided by five Lehman errors in the field, resulting in four of the Dolphins' 9 runs crossing unearned.

Moises took the loss, yielding six runs (three earned) on 9 hits in three innings. Glennerster led the way at the dish in game two, going 3-for -4 with a run scored and RBI. Roman, Lynch, and Joe Cassano all had a pair of hits in the contest as well as CSI out-hit Lehman, 12-2.

The two teams will square off in the third and final matchup between the sides tomorrow afternoon at 12 Noon at Lehman College.
