Box Score Winter Haven, FL:  Senior Matt Jenisch (Pompton Plains, N.J.) pitched five scoreless innings in relief to pick up his second win of the season as the Ramapo College Roadrunners defeated the University of Southern Maine Huskies 9-7 in a non-conference baseball game Saturday afternoon.

The win was the second straight for the Roadrunners, ranked 24th in the nation in this week's D3baseball.com poll, and improved their overall record to 13-2.  The Huskies dipped to 6-4 on the season.

Jenisch came on in the fifth inning in relief of junior starter Daniel Youngsman (Naples, Fla.).  Jenisch was nicked for a run-scoring hit by the first batter he faced, sophomore Matt Powers (Portland, Maine/Deering), but settled down after wild pitching in the tying run to get out of the inning.  The right-hander would retire 12 in a row from the fifth into the ninth inning, and only give up one hit after the fifth inning.

Ramapo tallied what proved to be the game-winning run in the bottom of the fifth.  With two outs, rookie Kyle Chase (Brick, N.J.) walked, advanced to second in a single by junior David Jacob (Vernon, N.J.) and scored on senior pinch-hitter Marco Carolla's (Landisville, N.J.) single.  The Roadrunners added an insurance run in the seventh on Carolla's second RBI single of the game.

The Huskies got one in the first as sophomore Forest Chadwick (Gardiner, Maine) singled and came around on two Ramapo errors.  Rookie Jake Glauser (Goffstown, N.H.) and sophomore Matt Verrier (Norway, Maine/Oxford Hills) had RBI singles in the second for the Huskies.

USM got a gift run in the fourth when senior David Ricker (Winthrop, Maine) scored on an outfield error.  USM tied the game with three in the fifth on RBI hits from sophomore Troy Thibodeau (Danvers, Mass.) and Powers, and Thibodeau scoring on a wild pitch.

Jacob led the Roadrunners with three hits.  Carolla, junior Christian Spurr (Warren, N.J.) and senior Dan Moreno (Cranford, N.J.) each had two hits apiece.  For the Huskies, junior Nick Grady (Whitefield, Maine/Erskine) had three hits and scored a pair of runs. Verrier, Thibodeau and Glauser each had two hits.

Junior right-hander Ryan Yates (Norway, Maine/Oxford Hills) started on the mound for USM.  Yates, making his first appearance of the spring, went 4.2 innings surrendering seven hits, five walks and eight runs while striking out three.

Southern Maine is back in action on Sunday (12:00 p.m.) playing Amherst College in Winter Haven, Fla.  Ramapo returns to New Jersey to play at Stevens Institute of Technology on Tuesday (3:30 p.m.).
