EWING, N.J.- The TCNJ baseball team picked up a road win on Friday afternoon over Rutgers-Camden by a score of 4-2. Jordan Gray's dominant outing on the bump gave the Lions (14-4) their 14^th win of the season over the Scarlet Raptors (15-6).


HOW IT HAPPENED:

• TCNJ put up the first runs of the game for either team as they put up two in the top half of the fifth.
  • With two on and one out, a Justin Marcario single to right scored Jack O'Donnell.
  • Following a wild pitch to move Mike LaGravenis to third, Andrew Fernandez scored LaGravenis on a single through the left side to get out to a 2-0 lead.
• Rutgers-Camden answered in the bottom half of the fifth as they cut the lead in half on a single through the right side.
• TCNJ added another pair of runs in the seventh to provide Gray with some insurance runs.
  • With runners on second and third with one out, Ryan Goodall smoked an RBI ground-rule double to score Fernandez and Chris Reeder.
