On the hill, senior Andy Cupido (South Plainfield, N.J.) picked up the win after tossing seven solid innings.  Cupido (3-0) allowed three runs and nine hits while striking out five and walking three.  Junior Brandon Aich (Sayreville, N.J.) closed out the final two innings allowing an unearned run with five strikeouts.

Offensively, Ammirata was 1-for-2 with three RBI and two runs scored while teammate Kevin O'Neill (Union, N.J.) was 3-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI.  For the Red Hawks (26-16), senior Mike Nunes (Hazlet, N.J.) had two hits in the loss.

Kean will await the tournament pairings when they are announced early next week.  The Mid-Atlantic Regional will be hosted by Kean University at Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium in Newark, N.J. beginning on Wednesday, May 14^th.

Stockton College: Erin Brockovich is still slaying corporate dragons

source News.shorenews.now.com

 

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP – Erin Brockovich’s passion for championing the underdog and the environment were front and center Tuesday night when she packed the Stockton Performing Arts Center.

Brockovich, the guest speaker as part of Stockton’s lecture series, was the subject of the 2000 movie “Erin Brockovich,” which chronicled her dogged pursuit of the Pacific Gas & Electric Company.

She said the movie will stand the test of time, and that even 100 years from now when someone sits down to watch it, they will still get it. They will understand the message that determination and getting involved allows each of us to help create change.

OSPREYS: BASEBALL TEAM SPLITS TWO GAMES

(March 3) The Stockton baseball team defeated Centenary 12-3 for its third consecutive win to open the 2008 season. Matt Allen (Salem/Woodstown) led the Stockton offense by going 3-3 with three RBI while Nick Corrado (West Deptford/Gloucester Catholic) was 2-3 with a double, three runs and two RBI. Lefty Matt Hunt (Marlton/St. Joseph) earned the pitching victory with 5.1 shutout innings during which he allowed four hits, struck out two and induced double play balls in each of the first three frames.
In the second inning, Stockton loaded the bases and scored five runs on four RBI singles and a hit batsman for an early 5-0 lead. Allen stroked an RBI single for the second consecutive inning to highlight a three-run third frame that put the Ospreys on top 8-0. Corrado ripped an RBI double and Allen slapped another RBI single in the fifth inning as Stockton increased its lead to 12-0 with four more runs. Centenary broke the shutout with three unearned runs in the top of the eighth and the game was stopped due to darkness after the half-inning as Stockton collected its third straight win, 12-3.
(March 6) The Stockton baseball team suffered its first loss of the season, 2-1 at Haverford as a trio of Fords pitchers limited the Ospreys to just four hits in the game. Eddie Ortiz (Vineland/Vineland) went 1-3 with a stolen base and a run scored while Matt Allen was 1-3 with a double. Stockton lefty Scott Fisher (Toms River/TR East) was saddled with the loss despite 10 strikeouts in seven innings pitched. Fisher allowed just two runs on five hits.
In the top of the first inning, Ortiz walked and later scored an unearned run on a sacrifice fly by Joe Sacerdote (Deptford/Gloucester Catholic) to give Stockton an early 1-0 lead. Haverford answered with two runs in the bottom of the second to pull ahead 2-1. In the eighth inning, Ortiz stroked a one-out single and stole second. He advanced to third on a groundout, where he was stranded on an inning-ending groundout that squashed Stockton’s best opportunity to tie the game before the Ospreys fell 2-1.

Greene scored 17 first-half points to propel Stockton to a 31-30 lead at halftime despite 0-7 three-point shooting by the Ospreys.
