NEW YORK, N.Y. – Behind seven shutout innings of one-hit ball from freshman Rosario DiLorenzo (Howard Beach, NY/Archbishop Molloy) and four hits from sophomore Thomas McKenna (Bellerose, NY/St. Francis Prep), the St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) baseball team captured an 11-2 victory over CCNY on Friday morning at Randalls Island.

The Bears (11-1) have assembled a three-game streak while the Beavers (3-12) have traded wins and losses over their last five games.

DiLorenzo (2-0) notched his second collegiate win in his fourth start on the mound. The freshman struck out 10, one shy of the single game record, set three times. The one hit allowed is the fewest for by a Bears hurler working at least seven innings.

McKenna finished the day batting 4-for-5 with three RBI, a double and two stolen bases. Vincent Rossi (Bayside, NY/Holy Cross) went 3-for-5 and Joe Mendez (Staten Island, NY/Monsignor Farrell) went 2-for-5, to move within one hit of 100 for his career.

St. Joseph's posted runs in pairs in the third, fourth and sixth innings and a trifecta in the seventh to give DiLorenzo a 9-0 lead when he stepped off the hill. The Beavers posted solo runs in the final two frames with the Bears tacking one two insurance runs in the top of the ninth.

The Bears cap off their busiest stretch of the season playing their fourth and fifth games in four days in a doubleheader tomorrow at the College of Staten Island starting at noon.
