After taking the first game of the 3-game series against Molloy 13-3, the Spartans could muster very little offense in dropping a pair of games 9-3 & 1-0.
In the first game the Molloy starter kept the St. Thomas bats silent in a complete game effort. Spartan starter Joel Violette (Fredericton, Can.) worked 5 innings and gave up 3 earned runs. Reliever Chris Schoepe (Prattsville, NY) surrended 4 runs in his three innings of work. Freshman, Kevin Ryan (Levittown, NY) pitched a scoreless 9th. The Spartans loaded the bases in the 9th, but could not plate any runs. Sophomore centerfielder, Fernando Peralta (Pine Bush, NY) had two hits including and RBI triple and a run scored. Dave Schwartz (Nanuet, NY) had two hits and a run scored.
Game two was a pitching duel as Spartan starter Brian LaMarr (Flushing, NY) and Molloy starter Steven DeJesus led both teams into the 6th tied 0-0. Molloy scored in the top of the 6th with a 2-out RBI single. The Spartans rallied in the bottom of the 6th getting the tieing run to 3rd with one out before consecutive strikeouts and a controversial call ended the rally. In the bottom of the 7th the Spartans rallied again, but another controversial call stunted the rally. STAC was still able to put the tieing and winning run in scoring position and eventually loaded the bases with two out. On the first pitch John Mazzello (Hyde Park, NY) launched a long drive down the right field line which appeared to be a dramatic game winning, walk-off grandslam, but a strong wind pushed the ball just foul as it sailed past the right field foul pole. Two pitches later a fly ball would end the game.
LaMarr went 6 innings, struck out 5, allowed 2 hits, and 1 run.
