Nyack’s Kivlehan Makes Conference History

Senior Pat Kivlehan of West Nyack batted his way to the first-ever Triple Crown in Big East baseball history, and senior Ryan Fasano of Stony Point allowed only three earned runs in seven innings as playoff-bound Rutgers University erupted for 10 runs in the seventh inning to overtake Villanova University, 10-8, at Bainton Field in Piscataway, NJ.

Kivlehan, who was a key member on the highly successful RU football team, went 1 for 3 with an RBI to win the coveted Triple Crown with a .402 average, 10 home runs and 36 RBI.

Fasano, making his final career start at Bainton Field, gave up eight hits and struck out four as the Scarlet Knights capped the regular season at 31-23 and 16-11 in the Big East, while Villanova dropped to 28-27 and 10-17.

Rutgers will face state rival Seton Hall in the first round of the Big East Championships on Wednesday at 10 a.m. in Clearwater, FL.

Jaspers: Home Sweet Home

The Manhattan College baseball team punctuated a perfect 18-0 season at Van Cortlandt Park in Riverdale with a 2-1 victory over Siena College.

The Jaspers enter the NCAA Division I record books as the only club in the nation to go undefeated at home in 2012 after dropping Siena to 18-37 all told, 8-16 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.

The contest got tight in the eighth inning when the Saints pulled to within a run, but freshman pitcher Michael Scarinci of Nanuet battled back getting three straight fly outs.

With its seventh straight victory, Manhattan (29-24, 18-6 MAAC) carries the nation’s fifth-longest active win streak into the MAAC Tournament as the Jaspers vie for their second straight championship. The top-seeded Jaspers will play either Rider or Fairfield in the opening round of the double-elimination tournament on Thursday at 3 p.m. at Joe Bruno Stadium in Troy.
