SERIES HISTORY:

  • Last season, the squads split the four-game series as Wagner took the opener, 7-2, and the finale, 20-6.. 


MASCELLI ONE TOUGH AT-BAT:
  • Junior shortstop Nick Mascelli (Clifton, NJ/Seton Hall Prep) is ranked 17th in the NCAA out of 148 players as one of the toughest batters to strike out this season.
  • The third-year Seahawk shortstop has only fanned twice this season. 
  • After spending much of last season in the two hole, Mascelli has excelled as the team's leadoff hitter this season, batting .426 (23-54) with eight runs scored and 7 RBIs.


CAREER-HIGH FOR GOEKE ON THE MOUND:
  • In the first of a three-game set against local rival Fordham University on March 18, junior right-hander Austin Goeke (Bordentown, NJ/The Hun School) fanned a career-best nine batters while scattering four walks en route to a no decision against the Rams.
  • Goeke hurled 6.1 innings, giving up two hits for the third straight time while not allowing a run. 


SEAHAWKS LOOKING TO CONTINUE CLIMBING THE RUNS MOUNTAIN:
  • In last year's four-game set against the Mountaineers, the Seahawks outscored Mount St. Mary's 38-22, which included a 20-6 rout of the Mount in the series finale.

COACH CARONE APPROACHING 100 WIN MILESTONE:
  • 2015 Northeast Conference Coach of the Year, Jim Carone, is rapidly approaching the 100-career victory plateau, which will make him just the fourth coach in Wagner baseball history to reach that milestone.
