Baseball Opens Spring Break Trip with Win Over MSOE

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. - The TCNJ baseball team kicked off its spring break trip with a game against Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) Saturday afternoon, using a complete game on the mound from Jackson Malouf and a late rally to top the Raiders 4-1.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
Malouf was on fire from the opening pitch Saturday, striking out seven of the first nine batters he faced to set the tone early. The Lions (4-4) registered a pair of hits in that span – one in both the first and third innings – but were unable to create any scoring chances. Instead it was MSOE opening the scoring in the fourth on an RBI single from Eli Lopez to take a 1-0 lead.
 
TCNJ did not trail for long, however, needing just one hit to level things in the bottom of the fifth. Mike LaGravenis drew a leadoff walk, advancing to second on a sacrifice bunt by Jack O'Donnell before Gianni Marano ripped a double to center field that hopped over the fence to score the senior.
 
Malouf continued to mow down Raiders on the hill – the senior allowed just two hits after giving up the game's opening run – setting up the Lions to take a lead they would not lose in the seventh.
 
O'Donnell got things started with a leadoff double, advancing to third on a grounder that brought Justin Marcario to the plate. With two outs, the senior earned his first base knock of the day on a single to right field, scoring O'Donnell and giving TCNJ its first lead of the game.
 
Insurance runs came in the bottom of the eighth off the bat of O'Donnell, with the junior's second double of the day scoring LaGravenis and Jake Carter to make it a 4-1 game before Malouf retired the side to secure the complete game and hard-fought victory.
 
STANDOUT LIONS
  • Malouf tossed his first complete game of the season, allowing four hits and fanning a season-high ten batters in nine innings. The senior moves to 2-0 on the year.
  • O'Donnell was a perfect 3-3 at the plate, leading the team in doubles (2) and RBIs (2).
  • Marano was the other Lion to register multiple hits, finishing 2-5 with an RBI.
UP NEXT
  • The Lions are back Sunday, March 16 to face off against Illinois Tech. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m.
