Box Score East Stroudsburg, Pa. – (4/19/2016) – Extending their current winning streak to five games and doing so against top-level competition, the Chestnut Hill College baseball team scored eight runs in its first two at-bats to help them secure an eventual 10-6 victory over #12 East Stroudsburg University. Separating himself as the Griffins' hit king, senior left fielder Brendan Looby (Sewell, N.J.) was 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and four runs-batted-in (RBI). Senior Casey Kern (Stony Point, N.Y.) earned his first win (1-0) of the season, settling down the Warriors with 3.2 innings of scoreless relief.
 
Chestnut Hill College (20-16) scored three runs in the first at-bat, igniting an early onslaught of runs for both sides. Junior shortstop Jonathan Baturgil (Freehold, N.J.) started the Griffins production with a one-out walk. He stole second an out later and scored on Looby's hit-record double, 1-0. After another double from senior designated hitter Robert Slagle III (Lafayette Hill, Pa.) the advantage was 2-0, leaving a single from junior right fielder Joseph Monaghan (Doylestown, Pa.) to extend the Griffin lead to 3-0. Unfortunately, East Stroudsburg University (30-11) answered in the bottom of the first inning, using four hits and a bevy of walks to load the bases and generate six runs of their own, 6-3. The Griffin bats did not wait to retaliate, as they also loaded the bases before a beaning of sophomore first baseman Matthew Owens (Cherry Hill, N.J.) brought home the first of five second-inning runs, 6-4. The rest were cycled on a second Looby double, 6-6, and a two-out Monaghan single, 8-6. Kern held the Warriors for their next two at-bats and handed the game off to freshman Kyle Hasforth (Midlothian, Va.) for three innings before two more innings of scoreless relief from freshman pitcher Dino Cattai (Philadelphia, Pa.) and junior Austin DiBonaventure (Plymouth Meeting, Pa.) supported two more Griffin insurance runs in the eighth inning, 10-6. Kern, Hasforth, Cattai, and DiBonaventure combined for 8.2 innings of three-hit baseball, in which they walked two and struck out seven.

The Griffins return to their Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) schedule on Thursday, April 21, when they welcome Concordia College (NY) to Latshaw-McCarthy Field for a 3:00 p.m. doubleheader.
