Box Score

THROGGS NECK, N.Y. (April 23, 2014) – On Wednesday evening on the Reinhart Baseball Field, the Maritime Baseball team fell to the City College of New York Beavers by the score of 6-5. CCNY opened a 6-1 lead, but Maritime's comeback fell short in the latter innings of the team's final non-conference game of the regular season.
 
Sophomore right-hander David Ramos (Merrick, N.Y./Kellenberg) took the hill for his first start of the season and yielded one earned run on three hits and also had a wild pitch in the inning as CCNY built an early 3-0 lead. Freshman Ryan Heizman (Commack, N.Y./Commack) came on to pitch the second inning and allowed a walk and nothing further in the frame to send the game to the bottom half of the second.
 
Maritime got on the board as sophomore Bruce Tyler (Miller Place, N.Y./Miller Place) doubled down the left field line and moved up to third on a groundout by classmate Paul Woodburn (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown). With Max Mueller pitching for the Beavers, the right-hander was then called for a balk and allowed Tyler to cross the plate for the Privateers' first run of the game.
 
City College added an unearned run in the third inning off of freshman left-hander Charles Cosgriff (Staten Island, N.Y./Tottenville), and then plated two more runs on three hits and a walk against senior Kurt Niemeyer (Nanuet, N.Y./Nanuet Senior) in the fourth inning to open up a 6-1 advantage.
 
In the bottom of the fourth, junior Albert Doerbecker (Point Lookout, N.Y./Long Beach) singled, followed by Tyler reaching after getting clunked by a pitch, and then Woodburn walked to load the bases. Two batters later, senior Tom Bauer (Wantagh, N.Y./MacArthur) picked up an RBI on a sacrifice fly to plate Doerbecker. Junior Matthew Sollin (Rockville Centre, N.Y./South Side) walked to load the bases once again and bring up senior Nick Galli (Staten Island, N.Y./St. Joseph by the Sea).
 
The senior then smacked a double just past the outstretched glove of the Beaver centerfielder and the ball rolled all the way to the fence. Galli reached second with a stand up double while also plating all three runners on base to pull Maritime within a run at 6-5.
 
Freshman Peter McGurty (Brooklyn, N.Y./Brooklyn Tech) was next on the hill for Maritime, and ended up closing out the game as he allowed just two hits over the final five innings of work, while striking out four batters in his longest relief outing of the season.
 
As McGurty was shutting out Beavers, CCNY was just as effective on the mound as Dilson Paulino went two scoreless innings and Felice Martino tossed the final three innings to hold Maritime to five runs on the game.
 
Earning the win was Paulino (1-0), while Martino picked up his first save of the season. Ramos took the loss for Maritime after allowing three runs on 29 pitches in the opening inning.
 
Maritime (15-16, 9-5 Skyline) will wrap up the 2014 regular season with a pair of games on Saturday at 11 a.m. against Old Westbury as the two teams will battle one another while jockeying for position in the Skyline Conference Tournament.
 
City College of New York (10-11-1, 2-6 CUNYAC) will take on John Jay on the road in a league doubleheader on Saturday afternoon beginning at 12 p.m.
