Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Camden, NJ:  The Rutgers University-Camden baseball team scored the winning run on a wild pitch during an intentional walk in the 10th inning to post a 7-6 victory in the nightcap and salvage a strange doubleheader split in its season-ending New Jersey Athletic Conference doubleheader against Ramapo College Saturday afternoon at Campbell's Field.

The Roadrunners, who won the opener 16-0, move into the NJAC playoffs as the No. 6 seed and play a 3:30 p.m. game at top-seeded Montclair State University Tuesday. Prior to that game, the Roadrunners will close the regular season Monday with a 4:30 p.m. non-conference game at Western Connecticut State University.

Ramapo, which is ranked No. 24 in the latest D3baseball.com poll and No. 28 in the ABCA/Collegiate Baseball poll, owns a 28-11 record overall and a 10-8 mark in the NJAC. Rutgers-Camden closes its season at 15-24 overall and 5-13 in the NJAC.

Leading 1-0, Ramapo exploded for 14 runs from the fourth through the seventh innings.

Rutgers-Camden 7, Ramapo 6 (10 innings)
The second game featured one of the strangest endings anyone is likely to see in a baseball game and the weird happenings started in the ninth inning, when the two teams combined for three unearned runs that forced the game into the 10th.

With the Raptors clinging to a 5-4 lead, Ramapo rallied in the top of the ninth on a one-out walk to Spurr and an infield error, placing runners at first and second base. One out later, Carolla squibbed a ball toward shortstop off the end of the bat that hit in the dirt and took a strange 45-degree hop pass Raptor senior shortstop Joe Merlino (Pine Hill, NJ/Overbrook Regional) for a game-tying single. Somma followed with an RBI single through the right side to give Ramapo a 6-5 lead.

Not to be outdone, Rutgers-Camden opened the bottom of the ninth with a leadoff walk to senior second baseman Jon Hydock (Medford, NJ/Shawnee), who was replaced by freshman pinch-runner Wayne Feret (Burlington Township, NJ/Burlington Township). Attempting to sacrifice, Siswo popped a ball over Roadrunner hurler Zilg, who came in to close out the game, and ended up with an infield single. One out later, the Raptors loaded the bases on an infield error and freshman third baseman Christopher Bell (Millville, NJ/Sacred Heart) delivered a game-tying sacrifice fly.

In the bottom of the 10th, senior rightfielder Tristan Keyser (Sicklerville, NJ/Winslow Township) led off with an infield single, stole second and was sacrificed to third. After Merlino was walked intentionally, the Roadrunners were attempting to walk freshman second baseman Pierce Phillips (Laurel Springs, NJ/Highland Regional) intentionally when Zilg unleashed a wild pitch that plated Keyser with the winning run.

Zilg (5-2) worked 1-1/3 innings, allowing two hits, one walk and one earned run as he received his second decision of the doubleheader. Raptor sophomore Dan Snyder (Glassboro, NJ/Glassboro) picked up the win, working 2-1/3 innings and allowing three hits, one walk and two unearned runs. Snyder (1-1) struck out three.

Prior to the late-game oddities, Raptor starter Andrew Hoffman (Cherry Hill, NJ/Cherry Hill West) was in line for the victory after working seven innings and allowing nine hits, one walk and four runs, three earned. Hoffman struck out two and closed his four-year career as the all-time pitching leader in numerous categories, including innings pitched (245).

Senior first baseman C.J. Mooney (Milltown, NJ/Spotswood), meanwhile, collected 21 putouts on the day to break the program's single-season mark of 337 set by Matt Hunt in 2010. Mooney finished with 345.

Hydock, meanwhile, finished his career with 156 hits, fifth on the program's all-time list and also collected six assists in the doubleheader to become only the fourth player in program history to pass 300 for his career. He finished with 302 assists, 11 doubles (third all-time) and a .303 career average. He also finished sixth all-time in both total bases (206) and RBIs (83). Merlino added a pair of hits to finish his career at 102 in only 96 career games. He compiled a .314 batting average over his four-year career.
