Baseball Edges Saint Peter’s in Extra Innings

Nick Labella Get Go-Ahead RBI-Double in the Tenth, while Alvin Melendez Locks Down First Save

Jersey City, N.J. – (April 24, 2019) – Fordham scored three times in the top of the tenth inning, while Alvin Melendez got the final three outs, as the Rams topped the Saint Peter's Peacocks, 8-5, in ten innings at Jaroschak Field in New Jersey.

 

With the win, Fordham improved to 25-18 on the season, while Saint Peter's fell to 2-33.

 

The game was scoreless until the sixth inning, when Fordham plated four runs for a 4-0 lead.  Matt Tarabek led off with a single followed by a walk to Jake MacKenzie.  Justin Bardwell then ripped an RBI-double to score Tarabek for a 1-0 lead.  After an error loaded the bases, Alvin Melendez punched a two-run double to score MacKenzie and Bardwell, with Nick Labella moving to third.  Jack Harnisch capped the scoring with an RBI-single to right to score Labella.

 

Fordham tacked on a fifth run in the ninth when Billy Godrick doubled to left, stole third, and scored on an infield single by Tarabek.

Saint Peter's though put together a ninth inning rally, scoring five times to tie the game at five and force extra innings.  Highlighting the rally was a three-run home run by Peter Ferony, his first of the year.

 

The Rams answered back in the tenth with a three-run push for an 8-5 lead.  Jake Baker started the tenth with a walk and scored on a double to center by Labella.  After a bunt single by Melendez put runners at the corners, Andy Semo laid down the safety squeeze bunt to score Labella from third.  The final run of the inning came in on an error.

 

Melendez, who came in to pitch in the eighth and went back to the outfield in the ninth, returned to the mound in the tenth to get the final three outs for his first save of the season.  He finished 2-for-4 at the plate with a double and two RBI, while tossing two scoreless innings on the mound.

 

Besides Melendez, Bardwell was 2-for-3 with two doubles and an RBI, as he moved past Pete DeLuca for second on Fordham's all-time doubles list with 53, while Tarabek was 2-for-5 with an RBI, extending his hit streak to eight games.

 

The Fordham baseball team will next be in action this weekend, as the Rams begin a three-game series at UMass Lowell with a Saturday doubleheader at noon.
