THROGGS NECK, N.Y. (April 14, 2010) – Senior Anthony Tenga (Throggs Neck, N.Y./Fordham Prep) (Throggs Neck, N.Y.) pitched five solid innings, striking out three and allowing only one run on four hits to earn his team-leading third victory of the season Wednesday night as the Maritime baseball team defeated Bronx-rival Lehman 12-1 in non-conference action. The win improves the Privateers' record to 8-13 overall, while the Lightning fall to 7-15.

 

Tenga was helped out in a large way offensively in the bottom of the second inning, as Maritime had 12 batters come to the plate and scored nine runs on just five hits.

McPartlan and senior Greg Oliva (Seaford, N.Y./Seaford) (Seaford, N.Y.) both scored two runs in the inning.

 

Oliva finished the game 3-for-4 at the plate with three runs scored and one RBI. Sophomore Jonathan Proscia (Franklin Square, N.Y./Holy Trinity) (Franklin Square, N.Y.) had an RBI double in Maritime's three-run sixth inning then came around to score later in the inning. Proscia ended the day 1-for-5 with two RBIs and a run.
