Box score

Tempe, AZ...
The College of New Jersey baseball dropped their second game in as many days falling to Saint John's University 15-4.

The Lions (0-2) were able to churn out 10 hits, but the Johnnies (6-2) collected 17 hits of their own on the afternoon breaking a two-game snide after winning their first five games of 2010.

Senior Chris Esperon (Union, NJ/Union Catholic) led TCNJ with a pair of hits and a run batted in while catcher Mike Galeotafiore (Brick, NJ/Christian Brothers Academy) ripped his second double of the season and knocked in two.

The game was deadlocked at 1-1 and the Lions had runners in scoring position in the fourth and fifth innings. But SJU' starting pitcher Mike Zimmerman (2-0) was able to work out of trouble and received some help from his defense cutting down a TCNJ runner at the plate in the fifth inning.

The Johnnies broke the game open with four runs in the top of the sixth inning and then exploded for six runs in the eighth.

Sophomore Patrick Doyle (Warren, NJ/Watchung Hills Regional) chipped in with a pair of singles for TCNJ and senior Ryan Anzalone (Vernon, NJ/Vernon Twp.) also doubled.

The Lions are back at it again tomorrow when they square off against Rockford College at noon (MST).
