Baseball Win Streak Snapped by Wagner

Fordham’s Alvin Melendez Goes 2-for-4 with a Home Run in the Loss

Bronx, N.Y. – (March 13, 2019) – The Fordham baseball team saw its seven-game win streak come to an end on Wednesday afternoon at Houlihan Park, as the Rams dropped a 3-2 decision to the Wagner Seahawks.
 
With the loss, Fordham moves to 10-7 on the year, while Wagner improved to 2-10.
 
Wagner got on the board right away in the first inning, as Anthony Pecora led off the game with a double, and scored on a single by Will Johnson.
 
Fordham answered back immediately as Alvin Melendez hit a leadoff home run to left field to start the bottom of the first.  It was his first home run of the season.
 
The score stayed tied until the sixth inning, when Wagner scratched across two runs on a bases loaded walk and an RBI-groundout to make it a 3-1 game.

The Rams cut the deficit in half in the bottom of the eighth.  Jake MacKenzie drew a one-out walk, stole second, and advanced to third on a throwing error.  He then scored on a sacrifice fly by Justin Bardwell, making it 3-2.  Nick Labella then walked to continue the rally, which brought on a pitching change for Wagner.  After pinch runner Terrence Murray stole second, Wagner reliever Nick Robino got Justin Machado on a strikeout to end the rally.
 
Robino held Fordham off the scoreboard in the ninth inning, recording the save, while John LaPointe got the win, after he pitched two innings of one-hit relief with three strikeouts.
 
Marc Bisogno (0-2) took the loss, allowing two unearned runs in his one inning of work.  Brian Weissert went the first four innings and pitched effectively, giving up one run on three hits and tied a career-high with six strikeouts.  Anthony Zimmerman pitched two innings of scoreless relief, with Mike Cowell and Kyle Martin each having one scoreless frame.
 
At the plate, the Rams were held to five hits in the contest, with Melendez leading the way.  He was 2-for-4 with a home run.
 
The Fordham baseball team will next be in action on Friday, March 15th, as the Rams travel to Maryland for a round robin weekend with Towson and Cornell.  Fordham faces Towson on Friday and Sunday, while taking on Cornell on Saturday.
