FORT MYERS, Fla.-- Junior T.J. Piscatelli (Norfolk, Mass.) went 2-for-3 and drove in three runs to back a solid seven inning effort on the mound by senior Billy McLane (Plymouth, N.H.) as Stonehill posted a 10-4 non-league college baseball victory over Bridgeport on Sunday morning at the Gene Cusic Classic at Terry Park.

The Chieftains (2-2) collected their second straight triumph overall and against an NCAA Northeast Regional foe by jumping out to a 3-0 lead in their first two at-bats, as Piscatelli drove in a run in the first on a groundout and junior Coley Lyons (West Roxbury, Mass.) plated two more tallies in the second with a two-run single. Stonehill then broke things open with six runs in the fourth frame, as sophomore Max Vigliotti (Stamford, Conn.) plated a pair with a two-run double that was sandwiched around a bases-loaded walk to Piscatelli and an RBI single by senior Tim Flynn (Clifton Park, N.Y.). Vigliotti and Piscatelli each scored on passed balls in the inning, as the Chieftains closed out their scoring in the fifth on a Piscatelli RBI double.

The Purple Knights (1-2) scored three unearned runs in the fourth off McLane and added a single tally in the sixth to account for their scoring on the afternoon.

Lyons and Flynn joined Piscatelli with two hits as part of a 10-hit attack in the triumph for Stonehill, as McLane scattered nine hits and struck out five in seven innings of work to pick up the win on the mound for the Chieftains. Freshman Mat Lindenmayer (Penfield, N.Y.) pitched two scoreless innings in relief and fanned three for Stonehill, which has scored 22 runs in its last two contests.

Stonehill squares off with New Haven in a non-league doubleheader on Monday morning as the Gene Cusic Classic continues at Cape Coral Field beginning at 9:00 a.m.
