Box Score The College of Staten Island men's baseball squad won a hard-fought, 5-4, decision over conference rival John Jay College earlier today in a game that did not count toward the CUNYAC standings at MCU Ballpark in Brooklyn, New York.&nbsp; The game, the rubber match after yesterday's doubleheader split saw CSI lift their overall mark to 13-12, while John Jay fell to 7-22.<br /> <br /> In the see-saw battle that came right down to the final frames, CSI built an early, 3-0, edge, touching JJC starter Corry Harper early.&nbsp; Aided by an error, CSI scored a pair in the top half of the first frame, as Luis Ortiz came in to score the first run without the benefits of a CSI hit.&nbsp; Ortiz earned on via an error, and then moved to second after Henry Roman was plunked.&nbsp; The duo moved up a base after a passed ball, and then a wild pitch thrown by Harper sent Ortiz in.&nbsp; Two batters later, Roman came in on an RBI-groundout by Will Difede.<br /> <br /> CSI then loaded the bags in the second, again without a hit, this time thanks to a pair of walks and a hit batter.&nbsp; With CSI's Joe Cassano at third base, CSI did ultimately get their first hit, as Roman was able to beat out a thrown on a ball hit deep at shortstop.&nbsp; Harper was able to get out of the jam, as CSI left the bases loaded from there.<br /> <br /> After only surrendering a pair of baserunners through five innings, CSI starter Mike Gillen finally got into trouble in the sixth, as the Bloodhounds finally got on the board.&nbsp; With runners at second and third, Freddy Rivera laced a single to score Justin Martinez.&nbsp; Joel Cabrera then followed with a sac fly to score Yahnny Arias.&nbsp; With two outs William Moran then followed suit with an RBI-double, scoring Rivera and knotting the game at 3-3.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Gillen was able to get out of the inning but then got touched again in the seventh.&nbsp; A Martinez up-the-middle single scored Leo Espinal, who pinch ran for Cosme Munoz, who opened the frame with a basehit.&nbsp; That prompted a change on the mound as Anthony Storz relieved Gillen who pitched 6.1 innings allowing four runs on seven hits, fanning three.&nbsp; Storz managed to retire the side, but not before JJC assumed control, 4-3.<br /> <br /> Down to their final six outs, CSI needed a comeback, and got their turn in the eighth.&nbsp; The Dolphins opened with a Difede single, and the DH promptly stole second.&nbsp; James Lewis then followed with an RBI-stroke down the leftfield line, scoring Difede.&nbsp; Lewis then stole second, and then moved to third on a long fly ball out by George Kantzian.&nbsp; With one out, Sal Todaro then recorded the key hit, a sac fly to deep leftfield, scoring Lewis and giving CSI back the lead, 5-4.<br /> <br /> Storz was then exceptional in relief, earning the win for CSI by retiring the next six JJC batters in order to preserve the win.&nbsp; JJC out-hit CSI, 7-6 for the game, seeing two hits each from Moran and Martinez.&nbsp; CSI's only multi-hit game was registered by Difede, who went 2-4 with an RBI and a run scored.<br /> <br /> CSI returns to action on Tuesday, when they travel to face Manhattanville College for a single non-conference contest at 4pm.
