Baseball Bows Out of Skyline Tournament with Loss to St. Joseph’s-Long Island

PATCHOGUE, N.Y. - With an appearance from Mother Nature forcing the game to be postponed to the following day, the Manhattanville University baseball team concluded its season in the double-elimination portion of the Skyline Conference Championship tournament. With the loss, the Valiants finish the season with a near .500 record of 20-21. 

Manhattanville was able to grab ahold of the lead early in the contest, but thirteen unanswered runs by the Golden Eagles was too much for the Valiants offense to overcome. 

In the bottom of the first, the Valiants created a two-out rally started by a Jake Parisi (Centereach, N.Y./Centereach) single to left field, subsequently swiping second to put himself in scoring position. Marco Clara (Syosset, N.Y./Syosset) would bring the runner around on a single to center field for the first run of the contest. Gregory Tashik (Midland Park, N.J./Midland Park Jr./Sr.) would then double to left center, bringing Clara home to pin the score at 2-0 in the Valiants' favor after the first inning. 

The Golden Eagles would answer back almost immediately, with the first three batters of the inning all reaching base safely, as the final of the trio, Rob Page, producing an RBI single to center field. Two batters later, SJLI would tie the contest at two-all on a fielder's choice that scored the runner on third base. 

The contest would say knotted at two until the top of the fifth inning, where the Golden Eagles would put up a five spot to take a commanding 7-2 lead. A Mike DiFilippo single would bring across the runner on second base, leading to back-to-back two RBI doubles from Scott Northrop and Page, giving SJLI the five run cushion. 

SJLI would add six more runs over the next three innings, putting the game out of reach for the Valiants, seeing the final score sit at 13-2 in the Golden Eagles favor. 

Gregory Esposito (Katonah, N.Y./John Jay) was tabbed with the loss for Manhattanville, as he came in for a relief appearance, pitching two and two-thirds, striking out three and only surrendering three hits in his thirteen batters faced.
