Baseball Wins Series Finale Over Saint Joseph’, 7-3

Fordham’s Brooks Ey Goes Seven Innings for Win, while Jake Guercio Tallies Three Hits & Three RBI

Bronx, N.Y. – (May 1, 2022) – Behind a fine outing by starting pitcher Brooks Ey and a three-hit, three-RBI day from Jake Guercio, the Fordham Rams posted a 7-3 win over the Saint Joseph's Hawks in their series finale on Sunday at Houlihan Park.
 
Fordham (12-29, 5-10 A10) took a 1-0 lead in the first, as David Kale scored on an errant throw home by the Saint Joseph's third baseman, trying to throw him out at home.
 
The Hawks (24-17, 9-6 A10) answered with two runs in the second on an RBI-single by Tim Cavanaugh and a sacrifice fly by Brandon Drapeau.
 
The score stayed that way until the bottom of the fifth, as the Rams scored twice to take the lead.  Jack Harnisch drew a leadoff walk and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt.  Jake Guercio then laced a single through the right side to tie the game at two.  After singles by Kale and Cian Sahler, Zach Selinger lifted a sacrifice fly to left, scoring Guercio for the lead at 3-2.
 
Fordham then tacked on three runs in the sixth and one in the seventh for a 7-2 lead.  Will Findlay walked to start the sixth and moved to third on a hit-and-run single by Andy Semo.  After a pitching change and a stolen base for Semo, Guercio hit a dropping liner to center that the diving outfielder couldn't come up with, allowing Findlay and Semo to score on the two-run double.  Kale followed with an RBI-single to score Guercio.  The final Rams' run in the seventh came on an error.

The Hawks were able to get a solo home run by Drapeau in the ninth, but the Fordham staff held strong to earn the win.  Brooks Ey improved to 3-6 on the year, as he went seven innings, allowing two runs on six hits with five strikeouts.  Gabe Karslo pitched his way out of a jam in the eighth, allowing two hits, but getting a pair of strikeouts, while Trey Maeker had two strikeouts in the ninth to finish off the win.
 
At the plate, Guercio had the big day, going 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored, and three RBI, while Kale finished 4-for-5 with a run scored, an RBI, and a stolen base.
 
Fordham will next be in action on Tuesday, May 3rd, as the Rams host NJIT for a 3:00 PM game at Houlihan Park.
