UNIONDALE, NY – The College of Staten Island baseball team closed out its 2026 regular season at Mitchel Field on Saturday afternoon, falling to Molloy University, 19-6.

CSI struck first in the top of the opening inning as Jack Kehoe reached base and advanced to second on a walk. He later came around to score on a Molloy fielding error, giving the Dolphins a 1-0 lead. The Lions answered immediately with an eight-run bottom half of the inning to take control, 8-1.
The Dolphins were held scoreless until the fifth inning, trailing 12-1 at the time. Jamel Vera led off with a single, and Jaden Waterman drove him in with two outs to get CSI back on the board. JJ Hunter followed with a double to move Waterman into scoring position, and Michael Flashner delivered an RBI single to cut the deficit to 12-3.
Molloy kept CSI off the scoreboard over the next few innings before the Dolphins added three runs in the ninth.
