DOLPHIN BATS ERUPT FOR 37 RUNS IN TWO VICTORIES ON HEROES DAY

Staten Island, NY – The College of Staten Island Baseball Team hosted Alliance University for a non-conference doubleheader on the inaugural Heroes Day earlier today and erupted for 37 runs in two wins over the Warriors.  Following a pregame ceremony honoring three late heroes, Steve Sosa, Anthony.Iraci, and Anthony Varvaro, the Dolphins picked up two big wins by scores of 14-0 and 23-7.  The two victories improved the Dolphins to 10-17 on the season and dropped Alliance to 1-32 on the year.

GAME 1
Neither team scored in the first, but the Dolphins generated all of the offense starter John Esposito would need in the second inning.  CSI opened the scoring with a two-RBI single by Nick Cippoletti, scored a third time on a fielding error, and chased home two more on a RBI single by A.J. Vigliotti.  Leading 5-0, the scored twice more in the fifth on an RBI double by Shendi Ulaj.  A sixth-inning rally then produced seven more CSI runs capped off by a towering three-run homer off the bat of Thomas Marten.  The three-run blast put the Dolphins ahead 14-0, and Esposito went on to throw a complete game shutout in the Dolphins win.

GAME 2
The Dolphins opened game two the same exact way they closed game one scoring seven runs in their first turn at bat.  Before a single out was recorded in the home first inning, the Dolphins scored six runs behind a pair of walks and three base hits.  With two outs, a Michael Kehoe RBI single drove in the final CSI run of the inning to put the Dolphins ahead 7-0.  RBI hits by Christopher Hayes and Bryan Birkhead made it 9-0 in the second.  The Warriors scored three times in the third, but the Dolphins got all of those runs back in the bottom half of the inning behind RBI hits from Steven Collica and Cippoletti.  A series of walks helped the Dolphins to another four runs in the fourth inning, and each team would score once in the fifth to make it 17-4.  Alliance also scored once in the sixth before the Dolphins scored six runs without a single hit in the bottom half of the inning.  The Warriors would strike for two more runs in the seventh as well, but this wasn't nearly enough as the Dolphins took the win 23-7.

Kehoe had three hits in each game for the Dolphins and Ulaj, Cippoletti, and Vigliotti each had two hits in both contests.  Esposito gave the Dolphins a complete game effort on the mound and Ryan Kehoe allowed four runs on nine hits in five innings of work during game two.  The Dolphins outhit the Warriors 15-4 in game one, but were ultimately outhit 15-13 in the game two win despite taking the victory by a commanding margin.

The Dolphins will return to action next Friday as they open a crucial East Coast Conference series against the Mercy College Mavericks.  The first game of the series will be played at the CSI Baseball Complex and will begin at 1:00 PM.
