South Orange, N.J. — Kyle Lyons (West Chester, Pa.) went 3-for-4 with two RBI including the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning as Seton Hall salvaged the final game of its three-game series with Stony Brook, 4-3, on Sunday afternoon at Mike Sheppard, Sr. Stadium.
Alex Nicolosi (Stony Point, N.Y.) eared the win on the mound for the Pirates (11-8) and improved to 2-0 on the season after tossing 1.2 innings of scoreless relief with two strikeouts. Cole Hansen (Skillman, N.J.) turned in a quality start, going 6.1 innings with no earned runs and allowing only one walk. Jonathan Luders (Lynnfield, Mass.) went 2-for-3 with two runs scored.
How It Happened
Stony Brook took advantage of a Seton Hall error in the top of the first as it scored twice on two sacrifice flies that made it 2-0. A triple by Zack Sylvester (Montville, N.J.) led off the bottom of the second for The Hall and Cole Zak (Cleveland, Ohio) drove him in on an RBI groundout that got the Pirates on the scoreboard.
Hansen settled in after the first inning as he retired 10 of the next 12 Seawolves that stepped to the plate. The Pirates returned to their small ball roots for the game-tying run in the sixth and go-ahead run in the seventh.
Danny Melnick (Hamilton, N.J.) led off the bottom of the sixth with a base hit and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Sylvester. Andrew Bianco (Kings Park, N.Y.) then drove Melnick in with a base hit to left field that tied up the score at 2-2.
After Jay Allmer (Asheville, N.C.) came on in relief of Hansen in the top of the seventh and induced a double play that ended the inning, the Pirates got the lead-off runner on again in the home half as Luders reached on a single through the left side. Joey Calabretti (Perkasie, Pa.) then moved him to second base on a sac bunt and Lyons delivered with the go-ahead RBI that made it 3-2 Seton Hall.
Stony Brook answered in the top of the eighth with a run that knotted it up at 3-3 but Nicolosi came out the bullpen to prevent further damage as he retired the final two batters of the frame. Nicolosi recorded a shutdown top of the ninth that kept the scored tied at 3-3 and Luders got the bottom of the ninth started with a lead-off walk. Another well-placed sac bunt laid down by Calabretti moved Luders into scoring position and Lyons came up big once again as his single up the middle plated Luders and gave Seton Hall the 4-3 walk-off win.
Up Next
The Pirates are back at The Shep on Tuesday when they host Monmouth for the first of two midweek contests at 4 p.m. The game will be broadcast on the Pirate Sports Network via FloSports.
