West Lawn, PA (May 3, 2014) – Freshman Tyler Sweeney hit a two-out inside the park home run down the left field line in the bottom of the 11^th inning completing a comeback that started with three runs in the bottom of the ninth lifting the Bulldogs past FDU-Florham, 5-4, advancing DSU at least one more game on Friday morning at Owls Field.
 
This game was a dominating pitcher's duel early as FDU's Andrew Hille took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and freshman Andrew Schuler allowed just two base-runners thru the first five frames before the Devils struck for three runs in the sixth on two hits, including a double from Frankie Tassielli, and took advantage of two Bulldog errors in the inning to lead 3-0.
 
DSU got on the board in the seventh inning as junior Nick Fischer broke up the no-hitter with a double off the left-field wall, one batter after senior Brian Mauro was robbed of at least a double when FDU's right-fielder made a leaping catch at the wall to start the inning.  Fischer came around to score two batters later on a two-out single from sophomore Carrington Santana to cut the deficit to 3-1.
 
Florham (21-14) got that run back in the eighth when Frank LaGuarina doubled home Alex Geramita as the Bulldogs left two runners stranded in the bottom of the eighth inning.
 
FDU went quietly in the top of the ninth inning as DeSales was down to its final three outs.  The first two batters went quietly and senior Mark Fuse was down to his last strike when he kept the game alive with a single to right-field.  Senior Charles Dennis followed with a single to right-center field when head coach Tim Neiman sent freshman Mike Kacergis up to pinch-hit.
 
Kacergis came thru slapping a two-strike double down the left-field line plating Fuse and Dennis.  Freshman Tyler Sweeney was hit with a pitch sending freshman Tommy DePaul to the plate.  DePaul hit a soft liner to left-center that enabled Kacergis to scamper home with the tying run.
 
DSU wasn't done as Mauro drew a walk to load the bases bringing Fischer to the plate but he hit a hard line drive to centerfield that was caught ending the threat but sending the game into extra innings.
 
Both teams went quietly in the 10^th inning and junior Evan Fraser sent down the Devil side in order in the 11^th.  The first two batters for the Bulldogs went down in order as Sweeney stepped to the dish.  He hit a hard fly ball down the left field line that the Devil left fielder attempted to make a diving catch.
 
He came up short and stayed on the ground as the shortstop scampered out to get the ball.  Sweeney scampered around second and was waved home with no throw to the plate as he slid home with the game winning run.
 
Fraser earned the win, his fourth in relief this season, pitching a scoreless 11^th inning.  Schuler was outstanding in his first post-season start allowing seven hits and just three earned runs over eight innings, walking none and striking out six.  Freshman Cameron Hoos also pitched two scoreless innings to keep the Bulldogs in the game.
 
Ryan Thurnes took the loss allowing the inside the parker as his only hit in 1 2/3 of action.  Hille was outstanding on the hill lasting seven innings allowing just two hits and one run, striking out four.  Geramita had two hits and scored twice for the Devils and senior Austin Tomaszewicz also had two hits.
 
The Bulldogs will play the loser of the afternoon game between Misericordia and Manhattanville tonight under the lights beginning at 7:30 pm at Owls Field.
