Baseball Falls At No. 4 Vanderbilt, 15-5, In Series Finale On Sunday

Nashville, TN - The Wagner College baseball team concluded their three-game weekend series at No. 4 Vanderbilt on Sunday afternoon. 
 
Both teams were scoreless after the two innings before the 2019 College World Series champions erupted for six runs over the third and fourth innings but the Seahawks were able to plate across four over the final two frames, falling 15-5 at Hawkins Field. 
 
Three Seahawks (1-12) had multi-hit games, paced by Cody Bey, who went 3 for 4 with an RBI. Lukas Torres and Dante Faicchio collected two hits apiece, with Faicchio driving in two of Wagner's five runs on the afternoon. 
 
Eric Crouse (0-1) took the loss after going 2.1 innings in which he gave up four runs on three hits while walking four and striking out a batter. The Green & White used five arms out of the bullpen, with the trio of Nick DeCarlo, Jake Toporek, and Nick LePre combining to throw three innings, giving up two runs on three hits with three strikeouts. 
 
Vanderbilt (13-2) extended its winning streak to 12 straight games. Gavin Casas, Dominic Keegan, and Enrique Bradfield Jr each had multi-hit games for the Commodores, with Casas leading the way with three hits. 
 
Keegan drove in a game-high four RBIs while Spencer Jones scored three of the 15 runs this afternoon. Grayson Moore started on the mound for the home team, throwing two scoreless innings in which he allowed a hit while walking two and striking out three batters. 
 
Hunter Owen picked up his second win of the season, tossing four innings, in which he struck out four, walked one while allowing a run over four hits. 
 
Wagner threatened to open the game. Torres and Faicchio each drew one-out walks before Moore got out of the game with back-to-back strikeouts. 
 
In the bottom of the frame, Bradfield walked and moved into scoring position after stealing second. Davis Diaz lofted a high fly that Seahawk second baseman, Xavier Baker, was able to track down and make the grab.
 
Alertly, Baker fired a strike to Bey over at third to retire Bradfield for the second out of the inning.

Mike Pirrotta came on in relief for Crouse and walked the first batter he saw in Javier Vaz.

Tate Kolwyck pushed across the sixth run of the frame with a double to left-field. 
 
The Commodores put up another six runs in the bottom of the fourth, as Keegan brought in a pair on an RBI double to left before Vaz sent a double to left that scored two. On the third pitch that Casas saw from Ruben Del Castillo, he sent one to the deepest part of centerfield which increased Vandy's lead to 12-0.
