Mariners Blanked On The Road Against Kean

UNION, N.J. (March 22, 2024) – The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy baseball team trailed by just two runs through six frames, but surrendered five runs in the seventh and fell on the road to Kean, 8-0. USMMA dropped to 4-8 on the season, while Kean improved to 12-6.
 
Game Link Senior Tyler Reistetter (Dickinson, Texas) finished 1-for-4 with a double, while freshman Ben Taylor (Lexington, Ky.) went 1-for-2 and classmate Tommy Chiappetti (Buckeye, Ariz.) was 1-for-4. Sophomore Ryan Felton (Granbury, Texas) struck out seven, but was saddled with the loss after allowing two runs, one earned, in 6.0 innings of work.
 
Kean loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom of the first, but Felton escaped with an inning-ending strikeout.
 
The Mariners then loaded the bases with one out in the second as junior Garrett Clapsaddle (Murphy, N.C.) worked a leadoff walk and Taylor singled before freshman Ben Bridges (St. Petersburg, Fla.) drew a one-one walk. Back-to-back strikeouts, however, ended the inning and kept the game scoreless.
 
A one-out error in the bottom of the second helped Kean grab a 1-0 lead on an RBI groundout. The Cougars made it 2-0 in the sixth after a leadoff single and a pair of stolen bases set up an RBI sacrifice bunt.
 
Kean drew five walks, sent 11 men to the plate and took a commanding 7-0 lead after a five-run seventh inning against the USMMA bullpen.
 
The Mariners return to action on Sunday, March 24 with a noon doubleheader against non-conference opponent Lehman that will be played at SUNY Maritime College in the Bronx. Live stats and a live video feed of the game will be available with links on the USMMA Baseball Schedule Page.
