Baseball Swept By St. Joseph’s-L.I. In Skyline-Opening Doubleheader

PATCHOGUE, N.Y. (March 26, 2022) – The USMMA baseball team lost a pair of games on the road to Skyline Conference opponent St. Joseph's-Long Island, 10-2 and 14-5, on Saturday at the Golden Eagles' Alfano Field. In defeat, the Mariners' record drops to 5-11 (0-2 Skyline), while SJC improves to 3-4 (2-0 Skyline) with the victories.
 
Game Links Game 1 Highlights
  • The Mariners' two runs came by way of a lead-off home run by junior Joey Zanetti (Richmond, Va.) in the first and an RBI-single by freshman Garrett Clapsaddle (Murphy, N.C.) that plated junior Jared Chambers (Houston, Texas) in the seventh.
  • Chambers had two of the Mariners' five hits in the game, going 2-for-5 with a lead-off double in the seventh.
