WILLIMANTIC, CT – The Manhattanville College baseball team wrapped up the 2018 season with a 10-4 defeat at the hands of the Eastern Connecticut State Warriors on Wednesday evening.

Freshman Hathaway Roper (Stratford, Conn./Bunnell) finished with two hits for Manhattanville (16-18-1), while graduate student Chris Conklin (Yorktown Heights, N.Y./Lakeland) and senior Nick Campana (Yonkers, N.Y./St. John the Baptist Elementary) added a hit apiece in their final game for the Valiants. Juniors Luke Scoggins (Merrick, N.Y./Sanford H. Calhoun) and Kieran Corrigan (Mahopac, N.Y./Mahopac) combined for Manhattanville's three RBI's. Collin Russell had two hits and three RBI's for Eastern Connecticut (20-14).

Eastern Connecticut scored the game's first 10 runs with one in the third, two in the fourth, and seven in the fifth as Warriors' starting pitcher Jack Wisley held Manhattanville to two hits through six innings, allowing just one unearned run, a Scoggins sacrifice fly in his final inning of work. Scoggins added another RBI on a groundout in the eighth inning. Seniors Pat Badia (Somers, N.Y./Somers) and Thomas Contrelli (Miller Place, N.Y./Miller Place) scored on Scoggins' RBI's.

In the ninth, Corrigan was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, forcing in junior Michael Poggioreale (Thornwood, N.Y./Westlake), and Eastern Connecticut's Jared Buckley followed up his hit batsman with a wild pitch, scoring freshman Justin Neugebauer (Merrick, N.Y./Calhoun). Both Poggioreale and Neugebauer had reached on walks.

Conklin, Campana, Badia, Contrelli, and fellow seniors William Mohr (Allendale, N.J./Northern Highlands), Billy Tempone (Smithtown, N.Y./Smithtown East), and Danny Gallagher (Nanuet, N.Y./Paramus Catholic) all saw action in their final games in a Valiant uniform.
