MacKenzie & Bardwell Each Drive in Two as Rams Win Sixth Straight

Bronx, N.Y. – (March 10, 2019) – Fordham's Justin Bardwell and Jake MacKenzie each drove in two runs, while C.J. Vazquez scored three times, as the Rams capped a perfect 4-0 weekend with a 4-3 win over the Hofstra Pride at Houlihan Park on Sunday.
 
With the win, Fordham has now won six in a row, improving to 9-6 on the year, while Hofstra fell to 2-10.
 
The Rams opened the scoring right away in the first inning.  C.J. Vazquez and Jake Baker drew back-to-back walk to start the frame and moved up a base on a ground out.  Vazquez then scored on a ground out by Justin Bardwell.
 
Hofstra bounced back with three runs in the second to take a 3-1 lead on a three-run home run by Vinnie Costello, his second of the season.
 
Fordham chipped away at the deficit in the third inning, making it a 3-2 ball game.  With two outs, Vazquez drew a walk and stole second.  One batter later, Jake MacKenzie singled through the left side to plate Vazquez.
 
The Rams then re-took the lead in the fifth with a pair of runs.  Vazquez once again got things started, as he was hit by a pitch.  Baker followed with a bunt single, putting runners at first and second.  MacKenzie then laced a double to left, scoring Vazquez with Baker moving to third.  Bardwell then plated Baker with a sacrifice fly to left field for a 4-3 lead.
