Staten Island, NY -  The Wagner College baseball team resumes Northeast Conference (NEC) this weekend when the Seahawks travel to Sacred Heart for a three-game series vs. the Pioneers.

All-Time Series vs. The Pioneers: Wagner and Sacred Heart will be meeting for the 65th time with the head-to-head series favoring the Pioneers at 35-29. Last season, the Seahawks took all four meetings at the Richmond County Bank Ballpark at St. George, outscoring the Pioneers, 27-12.

Four Score and Five Games Ago: Over the last five contests, the Seahawks are 4-1 in those games. Junior OF Kyle Cala (Brick, NJ/Brick Memorial) is batting .500 during this stretch, going 10-for-his-last-20. Fellow classmate Anthony Godino (Thornwood, NY/Pleasantville) is batting .429 (9-for-21) with six runs scored, a home run and six RBIs and has stolen three out of four on the bases. Sophomore C/INF Phil Capra (North Salem, NY/North Salem) is batting .400 (8-for-20) with a double, triple and a team-best seven RBIs. 

Goeke Now A Two-Time NEC Pitcher of the Week: Senior right-hander Austin Goeke (Bordentown, NJ/The Hun School) was named the Northeast Conference (NEC) Pitcher of the Week, the league office announced on Monday. This marks the second time in his Seahawk career that Goeke has garnered the weekly honor, the first coming earlier this season back on March 6. Pitching to the tune of a 0.00 ERA, Goeke threw six innings in Wagner's 4-1 victory over Atlantic 10 member, St. Bonaventure. In scattering just five hits, with one going for extra bases, the 6-5 Bordentown, NJ native earned his third straight victory in the 84-pitch outing. Additionally, Goeke struck out three batters, giving him 155 K's for his career and moving into sole possession of 11th-place all-time on Wagner's career strikeout list, passing former Seahawk hurler, Mark Nugent ('98).
