AUBURNDALE, Fla. – Sophomore Robert Nathan (Lords Valley, Pa./Vernon Twp.) recorded his first career no-hitter as the William Paterson baseball team (9-3) coasted to a 13-0 win against Framingham State (1-3) in seven innings at the RussMatt Invitational March 16. The game was called after seven innings due to the mercy rule.  

HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • With two outs and a runner on third in the top of the first, sophomore Ty Kobylakiewicz (Woodbridge, N.J./Woodbridge) ripped an RBI double into left to put the Pioneers ahead early, 1-0.
  • A pair of singles by sophomore Stephen Kubis (Wayne, N.J./Wayne Hills) and junior Jordan Brown (Piscataway, N.J./Piscataway) in the second inning set up senior Eliot Germanson (New York, N.Y./LaGuardia) for a two-RBI double to right center to extend the WP lead to three (3-0). The Pioneers tacked on an additional run in the inning following a costly error by Framingham State.
  • Senior Braden Ramirez (Middlesex, N.J./Union Catholic) led off the third with a double before Kobylakiewcz drove him in with a two-bagger of his own. A base hit by Kubis put Pioneers on the corners, allowing Brown to drive in a run with a double to right center.
  • After loading the bases, a run crossed on a fielder's choice before sophomore Devin Daproza (Englewood, N.J./Leonia) ripped an RBI single to make it a nine-run game (9-0). Another fielding mishap by the Rams allowed a WP run to score in the inning.
  • In the sixth, senior Tom Radigan (Verona, N.J./Verona) delivered an RBI base hit for the Pioneers' 11th run of the afternoon.
  • WP opened the seventh with back-to-back walks before senior Tyler Ruban (Oak Ridge, N.J./Jefferson Twp.) drove in a run with a base hit to right. Two batters later, Kobylakiewicz hit a sacrifice fly to push the lead to 13 (13-0).
