Baseball Splits at Monmouth

McGeehan, Shaw homer, Quijano earns win on mound

WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ – Sean McGeehan (Hamilton, NJ/Nottingham) and Scott Shaw (Cherry Hill, NJ/Cherry Hill High School West) each hit solo home runs as the Rider University baseball team split with hOURglass Rival Monmouth, winning Game 1, 1-0, before falling in Game 2, 11-1 in eight innings. With the split, the Broncs move to 11-9, while the Hawks are now 13-3.

In Game 1, the Broncs got a solo home run down the left-field line from McGeehan and it was all the support Rider would need. Kenny Quijano (Teaneck, NJ/St. Mary's) limited Monmouth to two hits and a walk in six shutout innings, while Cal Stalzer (West Des Moines, IA/Valley) erased a leadoff single with a game-ending double-play ball for the save to put Game 1 in the win column for Rider.

Monmouth posted three runs in the second inning of Game 2 on a run-scoring groundout and a two-run home run to take a 3-0 lead. The Hawks blew the game open with a seven-run fifth. Shaw hit a solo home run in the sixth to make it 10-1, before Monmouth abbreviated the game with a run in the eighth.  

Quotes & Notes
"We were fortunate to win one, but we did win one. So, we'll take the split against a good team and get back to work and prepare for the next series." – Rider Head Coach Barry Davis
