BB: Hofstra Defeats NYIT Behind 14-Hit Barrage

Hempstead, NY - Patrick Bryant threw six shutout innings to earn his first career win and David Leiderman continued his torrid hitting as the Pride defeated NYIT, 13-1, Tuesday afternoon at University Field. The win completed a season sweep of the Bears by the Pride as Hofstra defeated its Long Island rival, 7-3, last week in Old Westbury.

Bryant (1-1), a freshman transfer from Wake Forest, allowed five hits (four singles) and no walks in his longest outing of the season. Leiderman led a 14-hit barrage with four hits including double and his first career home run. Over his last four games, the red-shirt sophomore is 13-21 (.619) with four doubles and 15 RBIs.

The Pride (12-19) scored in six of their eight innings at-bat and started things off with a run in the first as Mat Annunziata walked and Stephen Foster singled. With one out, the pair pulled off a double steal and one batter later Leiderman reached on an infield single to knock in the first run.

The Pride added two runs in the second as Jake Fallon singled and came around on a double by Annunziata, who took third on an error. The miscue was costly as the freshman scored on a wild pitch from starter Michael Sinnott for a 3-0 lead. Hofstra upped the lead to 4-0 with a run in the fourth on a Brett Johnson single that scored Leiderman.

Hofstra would add three runs in the fourth as Annunziata and Brad Witkowski had RBI hits and Annunziata scored on another wild pitch.

Leiderman drove in another run in the sixth with a double and then came around to score on a two-run double from Johnson to make it 10-0. The Pride would close out the scoring with a three-run eighth highlighted by an RBI double from Louis Carrafiello and a two-run home run from Leiderman.

The Bears (7-14) scored their lone run in the top of the eighth as Michael Iglesias drew a leadoff walk and later came around to score on a groundout to third base from Anthony Caradonna.

Brendan Mulligan relieved Bryant to start the seventh and pitched two innings, allowing the one run on one hit. Luke Noone pitched the ninth and struck out the side in order.

Sinnott (0-1) allowed seven runs on eight hits in four innings. He walked three and threw four wild pitches. Hofstra also had success against relievers James Moussa (three runs in three innings) and David Kosakavich (three runs in one inning).

Seven of Hofstra's nine starters had hits with Johnson, Witkowski and Annunziata collecting two each. Johnson added three RBIs, while Annunziata had two.

Louis Mele and Robert Fiato had two hits each to pace NYIT.

Hofstra is back in action Wednesday when it travels to Wappinger Falls, New York, to play Manhattan. Game time at Dutchess Stadium is 6:30 p.m.
