Mahwah, NJ:  The Ramapo College baseball team earned a 10-2 non-conference victory today at Jeff Maund Memorial Baseball Field over the Bloodhounds of John Jay College.  With the win, Ramapo improves to 13-12 overall while John Jay falls to 8-20 on the year.

The Roadrunners quickly got on the board in the 1st inning when senior David Deredita (Clark, NJ) ripped a single to left field, stole second, advanced to third on a fly out to center, before touching home plate on a ground ball error to short.  Fellow senior Joey Cacchiola (Union, NJ), who reached on the error to get to first base, later came home on a throwing error by the catcher, to put the Roadrunners up, 2-0.  Pete Sita (Bayonne, NJ), scored the final run of the inning on a third error to putting Ramapo ahead by three after just one inning.

In the bottom of the 3rd, Cacchiola tacked on a second run on another John Jay error to go up 4-0, before Justin Leon (New City, NY) capitalized on another error in the bottom of the 6th to put Ramapo ahead by five runs.

Ramapo scored two clean runs in the 7th after Rob Nosari (Hamilton, NJ) drove in Stephen Campbell (Staten Island, NY), who doubled to lead off, and Kevin Knox (Matawan, NJ) drove in Nosari with a single through the right side.

The Bloodhounds finally got on the board in the top of the 8th with two runs on two hits. After Edwin Hernandez walked, and Xavier Perez singled to left field, John Massoni doubled down the right field line driving in both runs for John Jay.

Ramapo added three more runs in the bottom of the inning to close out the game, 10-2 over John Jay.

Cacchiola led the Roadruners hitting 2-5 with two runs and two RBI while Campbell went 2-2 with two runs scored and one run batted in.

Senior Dave Cahoon (Haskell, NJ) earns his first win of the year striking out five in 7.0 innings while only letting up two hits.
