Baseball Heads To Elmira

HOBOKEN, N.J. (April 7, 2016) – Due to impending weather issues, the Stevens Institute of Technology baseball team will now play Elmira College Friday and Saturday.

SERIES INFO
Tomorrow will be a doubleheader at Dunn Field starting at 2 p.m. while Saturday's game will start at 1 p.m., weather permitting.

ITHACA REWIND
Last weekend, the Ducks played Ithaca in a three-game series. Stevens took the opener 9-3, but fell in the final two, including a 4-3 decision in 10 innings on Sunday afternoon.

AWARD SEASON
Senior Jayson Yano keeps collecting Empire 8 Conference awards, and this week claimed E8 Pitcher of the Week. The week prior, Yano was named E8 Player of the Week for the second time.

ELMIRA REPORT
Elmira comes into the weekend with a 6-11 record, and the head coach of the Soaring Eagles is Corey Paluga, a former assistant coach here at Stevens. Dennis Rudolph and Conor Bawiec are each hitting over .424 to lead Elmira.

DINGER DERBY, PART DEUX
Both the Bombers and Ducks took advantage of the blustery conditions this weekend, combining to hit 12 long balls. Juniors Zeph Walters and Nolan Bennett each mashed two, while seniors Jayson Yano, Nick Sieber and Jonathan Toro each hit one.

JOIN THE CLUB
Toro picked the right time to hit his first career home run. His fly ball to left kept carrying just enough to give the Ducks a 1-0 lead in the game on Sunday.

GOT'EM
Yano leads the pitching staff with eight pickoffs, while classmate Robert Robbins and Greg Jakusik each have nabbed a leaning runner.

PLAYING THE VIOLA
Senior Bret Viola has carved out a niche in the bullpen this year, and in his last three outings, he has totaled 13.0 innings pitched, allowing just two runs while striking out seven.

Elmira will be providing live stats, which will be available on stevensducks.com.
