Purple Eagles Drop A Pair To Quinnipiac

GAME 1
SCORE Quinnipiac 7 – Niagara 1
RECORDS Quinnipiac (9-13, 4-0 MAAC) – Niagara (6-16, 2-2 MAAC)
LOCATION Bobo Field
 
NIAGARA UNIV., N.Y. – The Purple Eagles dropped a pair of games to the Quinnipiac Bobcats on Friday.

Game Recap
  • The Bobcats took a 4-0 lead in the top of the second inning after a solo homerun and a three-run homer.
  • Quinnipiac added on one run in the eighth and a two-run homerun in the ninth to extend its lead over the Purple Eagles, 7-0.
  • Niagara got on the board late, after Max Giordano blasted his second homerun of the season out of the park. It was not enough, however, to overcome Quinnipiac's lead as Niagara fell to the Bobcats in game one, 7-1.

Eagle's Eye On…
  • Despite a disappointing result, left fielder Benny Serrano turned in an incredible highlight. Serrano made a diving catch, practically taking flight, which landed him on SportsCenter's Top 10 plays.
  • Alex Zulia led the Purple Eagles in hits with two and Giordano had one RBI.
  • Zulia had one stolen base for NU.
  • Tommy Bednarski (1-2) took the loss on the mound. He fanned one and allowed just one earned run in 6.0 innings pitched.
