Chapman Athletics
ORANGE, Calif. - A weekend series between two NCAA Division III nationally-ranked foes turned into a pair of lopsided games with the victors alternating nights. On Saturday night it was the No. 2 Chapman (15-2) baseball team upending No. 15 Kean (4-1) 14-2. By the end of the weekend, the Cougars had returned the favor, defeating host Chapman 13-3 at Hart Park on Sunday night.
Patrick Ohail was 3-for-5 with 5 RBI as Chapman defeated Kean, 14-2, Saturday evening in Orange, California. The series opener was all Chapman. The Panthers tacked on three runs in the bottom of the first inning and exploded for eight runs in the sixth inning. Chapman sent 12 batters to the plate that inning and received a two-run single from senior OF Tyler Dean and a two-run double from sophomore IF Patrick Ohail, among other highlights.
Kean broke up the shutout in the top of the sixth inning as Ryan Clark lined a single into right-center to bring across Derek Gianakas. The Cougars added another run in the top of the ninth as freshman Tim Lowe scored on an RBI single by Ammirata.
Senior RHP Devin Drag (6-0) was solid in winning his sixth straight decision this season. Drag scattered eight hits and allowed just one run in six innings. Junior Andrew Cupido suffered the loss. He tossed five plus innings allowing seven runs and seven hits.
On Sunday Senior Danny Zeffiro tossed a complete game to pick up his second win of the season as the Cougars responded to Saturday's game with a 13-3 win Sunday evening against Chapman.
The Cougars scored in each of the first four innings, including a six-run fourth to build an early 10-1 lead. Kean (4-1) pounded 16 hits off Chapman pitchers, including five extra-base hits. The big blow in the fourth came when IF Nick Nolan hit a three-run homer to cap the inning. Chapman's (15-2) defense committed five errors and accounted for seven unearned runs. The Panthers' eight-game winning streak and 10-game home winning streak were both snapped.
Offensively for the Cougars junior Maikel De La Rosa was 4-for-5 with two doubles and three runs scored while Derek Gianakas was 2-for-5 with two RBI. Chapman's Ryan Cavan finished the game 2-for-4 with a two-run homer. Matt Luzar (4-1) took the loss for Chapman.
