It was truly a great start for Chris Roemer (ARD. ’08), both personally as well as for the Pace Setters, in a double header at Bloomfield State on Feb. 25th, as the senior left handed slugger's big bat put together a total of 7 hits altogether, including 2 doubles and 3 r.b.i's in the 7-6 and 4-3 victories over the Deacons of Westfield, N.J.

In the opener he went 4-4, including a 2 bagger, scored a run and had 1 run batted in, an then in the night cap, he batted 2-3, had 2 r.b.i.s, and walked once. He played right field in both games, and was lead-off batter in the 2nd contest.

In the first of two games at home with St. John Fisher on Feb. 25th, a 17-1 loss, Gary Riefenhauser (D.F.'10) of Purchase pitched 1.1 innings in relief, where in he gave up 4 runs on 2 hits, walked 3, and hit 1 batter.
