Mortarboard musings

• The Manhattan College softball team dropped a doubleheader to visiting Iona College, the two-time defending Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MACC) champion. The Jaspers (6-29, 1-7 MAAC) were able to muster just four hits in the two games, as the Gaels (25-20, 7-3 MAAC) posted 7-0 and 3-1 wins at Gaelic Park in Riverdale. Iona pitcher Sarah Jackson of Citrus Heights, CA, the MAAC preseason player of the year, no-hit the Jaspers through six innings in the first game before Amanda Babcock of Haverstraw ripped a clean single to right leading off the bottom of the seventh. Jackson (12-9) allowed just two base runners, Babcock’s single and a walk to Jen Keller of Woodridge, NJ, in the second inning. Babcock is batting .256, second-best on the team. Manhattan meets Fairleigh Dickinson today in Teaneck, NJ, for a twin-bill at 3 p.m. Iona College hosts Rutgers today in New Rochelle at 2:30 for a doubleheader.
• Manhattan College freshman pitcher Michael Scarinci of Nanuet earned his second MAAC rookie of the week award, becoming the only player to be a repeat winner this season. Scarinci, an alum of Pearl River HS, delivered a two-hitter on Sunday that helped lift Manhattan to a 7-0 victory at Canisius and clinch the MAAC series. Scarinci carried a perfect game into the sixth inning as he sat down 15 batters in order. He finished with four strikeouts en route to his first career shutout. Scarinci faced the minimum 21 batters and did not allow the Golden Griffs to reach second base. Two infield singles in the sixth and seventh innings were the only blemish on his stat line. The right hander from Nanuet, N.Y. forced Canisius into 13 ground outs, two double plays and he did not walk a batter. With the win, Scarinci improved to 3-1 in MAAC contests. Manhattan returns to action on Wednesday when the Jaspers visit Albany for a 3:30 p.m. contest. The Jaspers continue the road series this weekend when they travel to Fort Worth, Texas for a four game set at TCU. The Jaspers and Horned Frogs will kick off the series on Friday at 7:30 p.m. eastern.
