Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 The College of Staten Island men's baseball team managed a non-conference split today on the road today against SUNY - Maritime in Throggs Neck, New York. CSI took the opener, 3-0, before surrendering a lead in an 8-5 loss in the second game. The Dolphins saw their overall record dip to 3-6 while Maritime now stands at 2-8.

In the opener, senior hurler Richard Anderson took his second straight victory on the season, tossing a masterful complete-game one-hitter, fanning 10 batters en route to the 3-0 victory. Not knowing it at the time, CSI got all the run support it needed in the first inning. Michael Milazzo drove home Will DiFede who earned on base via a Maritime error, part of four in the opener for the Privateers. That gave CSI a 1-0 lead that would hold until the game's fourth inning. There, the Dolphins struck Maritime starter Christopher Myers again for a pair of runs. Another pair of errors helped get CSI their first run, and then senior Bryan Moreno belted a triple to score teammate Dan Lynch. That made the score 3-0 and it would hold till the final.

Anderson, meanwhile, retired the final seven batters in the game, the last six via the strikeout. He scored the win while Myers took the tough loss, tossing five innings, allowing three runs, none earned on five hits. CSI had six hits overall, with Moreno scoring the only multi-hit game, going 2-for-4 in the leadoff position.

In the second game CSI squandered a pair of leads, falling 8-5. First CSI went up 1-0 on a John Baggs RBI-single in the second innings, but Maritime countered with a pair of runs off of CSI starter Keiran Monaghan in the bottom of the frame, to take a 2-1 lead. CSI rallied again in the top of the fourth inning. An RBI-single by Robert Bernardo tallied home Chris Ramanauskas and later Bernardo came around on a Baggs fielder's choice.

The lead, however, didn't last, as the Privateers scorched the Dolphins for six runs on five hits in the fourth, chasing Monaghan. Two-RBI doubles by both Patrick Kirk and Joey Semlar proved to the catalysts in the inning. CSI added single runs in both the fifth and seventh inning, but it wasn't enough, as Maritime starter Ryan Alsdorf scored the win, tossing six innings allowing four runs, three earned, on six hits while striking out four. Monaghan went 3.1 innings in the loss. DiFede and Ramanauskas both tallied two hits in the game.

CSI will return to action tomorrow, when they host Yeshiva University for a CUNYAC doubleheader at 12 Noon.
