Fordham's Ben Greenberg and Joseph Serrapica combined for a seven-hitter, while Charles Galiano's three-run home run proved to be enough offense, as the Rams completed a three-game sweep of the Saint Louis Billikens, 3-0, on Alumni Day at Houlihan Park.
 
With the win, Fordham improved to 18-24 on the season, 9-6 in the Atlantic 10, while Saint Louis fell to 28-15 overall, 9-6 in the league.  It marked the first time that Saint Louis had been shutout this season, as well as being the first sweep of the Billikens in Atlantic 10 play since 2012.
 
All of the offense for Fordham came in the third inning, as Joseph Runco singled to right field with one out and moved to second on a two-out walk to Matthew Kozuch.  Charles Galiano then connected on a three-run home run to left, his sixth of the year.

 
That would be all the offense Fordham would need as Fordham starter Ben Greenberg worked in and out of trouble, courtesy of three double plays.  Overall, Fordham tallied eight double plays in the three-game series compared to none by Saint Louis.
 
Greenberg tossed eight shutout innings, scattering seven hits to go with four strikeouts to earn his fourth win of the season.  Joseph Serrapica pitched a scoreless ninth to complete the shutout and record his third save of the year.
 
At the plate, Galiano was 1-for-3 with the home run and three RBI, while Runco, Kozuch, Mark Donadio, and Ryan Mahoney had the remaining hits for Fordham.
 
The Rams are back in action on Tuesday, April 28^th, when the Rams take on Manhattan at 6:30 PM at Duchess Stadium, the home of the Hudson Valley Renegades.
