Jack Rubin Drives In Go-Ahead Run in Seventh Inning

Piscataway, N.J. – (March 11, 2026) – Jack Rubin's RBI-single broke up a 7-7 tie, while the Fordham bullpen closed out the game with four scoreless innings, as the Fordham Rams came back to defeat the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, 8-7, at Bainton Field on Wednesday afternoon.
