STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Wagner is riding an eight-game win streak heading into its final road weekend of the season at Delaware State, scoring 98 runs across those last eight wins.
Winners of six games in eight days, Wagner is coming off its second NEC series sweep of the season last weekend and has won six of its eight conference series. Playing the final game of April against Saint Peter's, the Seahawks are carrying an eight-game win streak into the final three weekends of NEC play.
Scoring double digits in five of those six games in the last eight days, the Seahawks averaged over 12 runs per game in each of those. Wagner has scored in double digits in six of its last eight games.
Last Week's Wins
Coming off a series win at Stonehill, taking the last two games in a 12-5 win on Saturday, April 18 and an 8-4 victory the next day, the Seahawks rolled into the midweek four games into what was a stretch of nine consecutive road games.
Wagner opened with a 15-11 win at Lafayette on Tuesday, April 21. The team collected five extra-base hits of their 17 total hits and finished with 14 RBIs. The Seahawks scored across seven of nine innings, kicking off with a six-run first.
On the road Wednesday, April 22 at Princeton, Wagner scored across six frames, putting up four runs in the third and eight in the eighth. Junior Dylan Immel was a perfect 4-for-4 with a double and three runs scored, while junior Josiah Ross went 3-for-5 with four RBIs and a pair of stolen bases. The Seahawks, again, logged five extra-base hits.
In the opener at UMES on Friday, April 24, Wagner won 11-6 to continue the win streak and set itself up well to win the series. Graduate Lukas Torres was 3-for-4 in the leadoff spot with three RBIs. Junior Joseph Mennella was 2-for-2 with three RBIs, hitting a home run the sixth that broke a shutout to give Wagner a 1-0 lead.
Game two was a 9-3 win for the Seahawks to take the series, their fourth in a row. That game saw Wagner leading just 3-2 through six innings before the offense took control. Mennella was 1-for-3 in that game with four RBIs, including a three-run home run in the eighth. Sophomore Jayden Alvarez was 2-for-3 with a pair of stolen bases.
Closing out the series out early, Wagner took a 15-3 win in the finale to force a seven-inning run rule. This is the fourth run-rule victory for the Seahawks in 2026. Junior Jackson Blakley had a massive game, driving in four runs on a 2-for-3 day where he finished with a double and a triple. Mennella and Immel each finished with three hits.
In the final midweek of 2026, Wagner took a 12-9 comeback win over Saint Peter's, finishing with 11 hits in the fourth game this season that the team has finished with more runs scored than hits.
