Jersey City, NJ - The Wagner College baseball team gears up for two midweek road contests against Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) members, beginning on Tuesday when the Seahawks travel to Saint Peter's at 3:00 p.m. before meeting Rider in another 3:00 p.m. start.
All-Time Series vs. Peacocks: Tuesday's contest marks the 34th all-time meeting between the schools, with Wagner holding a 22-11 edge in the head-to-head series. The Seahawks are currently riding a six-game winning streak over the Peacocks, with the most recent victory coming back on April 16, 2013 in Jersey City, when the Green & White dropped a 12-8 decision. Over the six-game streak, Wagner has outscored Saint Peter's by a combined 58-24.
Marsh NCAA ERA Leader: Senior co-captain
Danny Marsh (Monroe Township, NJ/Monroe Township)
is the NCAA Division I ERA leader, as the right-hander has posted a 0.49 ERA over his first six outings (3-1, 1 CG, 37.0 IP). Wagner's all-time ERA single-season leader is former Seahawk standout and
1996 Wagner Hall of Famer Don Finley ('53), who finished the 1953 campaign with a 1.03 ERA.
Goeke Climbing The Seahawk K List: Austin Goeke is rapidly moving up the Wagner career strikeout list. Through seven starts this year, Goeke has 46 strikeouts, giving him 152 for his career. The Bordentown, NJ native needs just two punchouts to tie former Seahawk Mark Nugent ('98) for 11th on Wagner all-time strikeout list as Nugent finished with 154 career K's. Joe Testa ('08) is the all-time leader with 308.
100-Career Hit Club Gains Two New Members: Junior infielder
Sean Mazzio (West Chester, PA/Salesianum School [DE]) became the 56th Seahawk to record at least 100 career hits when he accomplished the feat on March 29 at No. 4 St. John's, in which he went 3-for-4 on the afternoon. The 57th member of the 100-hit club came a week later as junior outfielder
Anthony Godino (Thornwood, NY/Pleasantville) went 2-for-3 at Seton Hall, with his first hit coming on a single to left in the second inning. The next member to potentially reach the milestone this season is sophomore C/INF,
Phil Capra (North Salem, NY/North Salem), who enters the SPU game with 79 career hits.
