Thomasville, N.C. – Junior left fielder JT Pittman (Ashland, Mass./Ashland/Bridgton Academy) smacked two home runs and drove in six runs to lead the Le Moyne College baseball team to a 12-2 victory over Bloomsburg University on Sunday evening at Finch Field.
 
The Dolphins tallied three runs in the second inning on five hits. Sophomore first baseman Nick Place (Towanda, Pa./Towanda) and sophomore designated hitter/third baseman Camillo Spinoso (Syracuse, N.Y./Christian Brothers Academy/George Washington) opened the inning with consecutive singles to right field. Following an out, Pittman singled to center to drive in Place. After a single by redshirt sophomore third baseman/shortstop Ben Walsh (Syracuse, N.Y./Westhill) to load the bases, freshman second baseman Nicholas Jacques (Ballston Lake, N.Y./Shenendehowa) singled to right field to knock in Spinoso. Pittman then scored as senior center fielder Donato DiNorcia (Naples, Fla./Seacrest Country Day) reached on a fielder's choice.

Bloomsburg got one run back in the top of the third. Designated hitter Andrew Holmes walked to start the inning and then advanced to second as center Austin Edgette reached on an error with one out. Following a walk to load the bases and a fly out, third baseman Ryuta Amaike singled to the shortstop to drive in Holmes.

Le Moyne pushed its lead to 6-1 in the third behind four hits and one Bloomsburg error. Junior right fielder/first baseman Brian Cox (North Kingstown, R.I./North Kingstown) led off with a single of the middle, took second on a single by Place and moved to third on a single by Spinoso. Sophomore shortstop/pitcher Josiah Gray (New Rochelle, N.Y./New Rochelle) followed with a single up the middle to plate Cox and force a pitching change. Following an out, Place and Spinoso scored as Walsh reached on an error.

The Dolphins added a pair of runs in the fifth. Following a walk by Spinoso and an out, Pittman launched his first home run of the game over the fence in right field.

Le Moyne took a 9-1 lead in the sixth inning. Senior catcher Gabe Levanti (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker/Northeastern) walked with one out, stole second with two outs and came around to score on a single to left by Place.

The Huskies got the run back in the top of the seventh. Second baseman Tyler Benson doubled to left field with one out, advanced to third on a passed ball and scored as Amaike reached on an error by the second baseman with two outs.

The Dolphins completed their scoring in the eighth. After Place was walked with one out and replaced at first by redshirt senior Mark Martin (Sauquoit, N.Y./Sauquoit Valley/Bryant), Spinoso singled to left field. Two batters later, Pittman blasted his team-best third home run of the season over the fence in right center.

Bloomsburg finished off the game's scoring with one run in the ninth. Left fielder Aaron Ovelman walked to begin the frame and came around to score on a one-out double down the right field line by Benson.

Graduate student righty Sean Pisik (Syracuse, N.Y./West Genesee/Ursinus) improved to 3-0 on the year after striking out nine over six innings, while allowing just an unearned run on four hits. Place, Spinoso and Pittman each had three hits in the game, while Spinoso scored four runs and Pittman crossed the plate three times. Pittman is the first Dolphin to record six RBI in a game since Corey O'Neill '08 drove in seven runs against Rider on May 11, 2008, while his nine total bases are the most since Chris Edmondson '10 also had nine against NYIT on May 16, 2009.

Zach Meyer took the loss after giving up six runs (five earned) on 10 hits over two-plus innings on the mound. Amaike recorded three of the Huskies' six hits.

Le Moyne (7-3), which has won seven of its first 10 games for the second straight year after not doing so since the 1993 team started 12-0, returns to action on Wednesday for a doubleheader at Philadelphia University at 12:00 p.m.
