Baseball Lights Up The Scoreboard in 17-6 Win Over Manhattanville

Purchase, N.Y. – The Stevens Institute of Technology baseball team put on an offensive clinic Monday afternoon in a 17-6 win over Manhattanville University.

The Ducks' 17 runs, 19 hits, 15 RBI, and 11 stolen bases were all season-highs, with the 11-run margin of victory also establishing a new high for the year.

How It Happened
Jackson Wein singled, stole two bases, and scored on a Griffin Zitko sacrifice fly in the first, though Manhattanville scored twice in the bottom of the frame, adding a run in the second, carrying that lead into the fourth, when the Ducks got a run back. After the teams traded two-spots in the fifth, Manhattanville carried a 5-4 lead into the sixth that Stevens (12-11) quickly and emphatically erased.

After Robert Savely reached on an infield single took second on a wild pitch, Veer Wadhwani reached on a Savely-scoring error to tie the game. After Wadhwani stole second and third, John Czernyk walked ahead of a go-ahead RBI single from Chip Krese. Two batters later, Zitko broke things open with a three-run homer to center. Garret Wolf and E.J. Balewitz Jr. each followed with singles (moving to second and third on the throw in) ahead of a wild pitch that scored Wolf and a Quinton Sterling groundout that scored Balewitz Jr., capping a seven-run inning for the Ducks, who opened an 11-5 lead.

The fireworks continued in the sixth as Wadhwani led off with a double and Krese followed with an RBI triple. After Wein was hit by a pitch + stole his third base of the game, Wolf was hit by a pitch as well, ahead of a Balewitz Jr. bases loaded walk and Sterling two-run single as the Ducks went up 15-5.

After Manhattanville scored in the bottom of the seventh, Krese drove in Wadhwani (single + stolen base + advance on groundout) with a sac fly in the eighth and Vinnie Stigliano singled in Zitko (triple) in the ninth, helping the Ducks complete the quadfecta of season-highs.

Inside The Box Score
  • The 1-through-3 hitters (Krese, Wein, Zitko) finished the game a combined 9-for-15 with eight runs and nine RBI
  • Zitko, who hit for the cycle, continued his recent hot streak, as the grad transfer has now hit .429 (15-for-35) in his last 10 appearances with 13 runs, 11 RBI, and seven extra-base hits
  • Wein hit safely for the seventh straight game; Krese hit safely for the sixth straight game, falling a home run shy of the cycle
  • Sterling recorded his second multi-hit, multi-RBI game of the season, the other coming in a win over Montclair State on February 27
  • Wadhwani had his first multi-hit game as a Duck; he, along with Wein and Savely, all stole three bases, the most in a game by one player this season
  • Mack Lipari closed the game with a scoreless inning in just his second appearance on the mound this season, striking out a pair
Up Next
The Ducks will begin a crucial Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Freedom series on Friday at 2:00 PM on the road at Lebanon Valley, whom the Ducks defeated two games to one in the semifinals of last year's conference tournament.
