The Rider Broncs Win 18 of their 20 games

On April 10, Rider baseball’s 11-game winning streak halted and the Broncs spent time in low spirits.

Since then, Rider got back on track with a defeat of the Princeton Tigers on April 17 and a series sweep of the Maine Black Bears on April 19-21, the fourth series sweep for the Broncs this season. The Broncs were able to take down the Seton Hall Pirates, 5-4 on April 23 to bring their winning streak to five games.

On April 23, Rider headed north to South Orange, NJ to play against the Seton Hall Pirates.

The Broncs were on another winning streak. Montone was the start for Rider and pitched six innings, allowing seven hits, four earned runs and struck out two. Pitching came to play as a whole for the single-game set, allowing just two more base hits after Montone exited after the sixth inning.

Hitting for the Broncs was also good, especially Neri, who went three for five on the day, with one of those hits being a solo home run to right field. Other offensive contributions came from Tiroly who had a two RBI single in the first inning and sophomore infielder AJ Labrusciano had an RBI single.

With victory against Seton Hall, Rider has built another winning streak. Now set at five and have won 18 of their 20 games, making them one of the hottest baseball programs in the nation.
