Fordham’s John Stankiewicz Strikes Out Career-High 10 Batters in Win

Bronx, N.Y. – (March 23, 2019) – Fordham's John Stankiewicz struck out a career-high ten batters over six innings of work to lead the Rams to an 8-1 baseball win over the St. Bonaventure Bonnies at Houlihan Park on Saturday afternoon.
 
With the win, Fordham has won four in a row, improving its record to 14-9 on the season, 2-0 in the Atlantic 10, while St. Bonaventure fell to 2-11 on the year, 0-2 in the league.
 
Fordham put the game away early with a seven-run first inning off St. Bonaventure starter Braydon Nelson.  The inning started with Alvin Melendez reaching first on a dropped third strike and moving to second on a walk to C.J. Vazquez.  Melendez and Vazquez were then on the move on a wild pitch with Melendez scoring from second for a 1-0 lead.  Jake MacKenzie then plated Vazquez with a single to right.
 
After a pair of stolen bases by MacKenzie, Justin Bardwell drew a walk and stole second.  Matt Tarabek then reached on an infield single, allowing MacKenzie to score.  Nick Labella followed with an RBI-single through the left side for a 4-0 lead.  Jake Guercio then drew a walk to load the bases.
 
After an out, Jake Baker drew a walk to force in a run, while Melendez plated a runner with an infield single.  The final run of the first inning came on Guercio scoring on a wild pitch.

The score stayed at 7-0 until the seventh, when Fordham added an insurance run on a St. Bonaventure error.
 
The Bonnies broke up the shutout bid in the eighth inning, as St. Bonaventure loaded the bases and got an RBI-ground out by Jake Foden.
 
It was another stellar performance for the Fordham pitching staff, led by starter John Stankiewicz.  He allowed just one hit over six innings with a career-high 10 strikeouts.  Marc Bisogno and Anthony DiMeglio each chipped in a scoreless inning of relief with Brian Weissert allowing the lone Bonnies' run in his one inning of work.
 
At the plate, Guercio was 3-for-4 on the afternoon with a run scored and a stolen base, while Labella was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI.  MacKenzie finished 2-for-4 with a triple, a run scored, and two stolen bases.
 
The same two teams will wrap up their conference series on Sunday with a noon game.
