JERSEY CITY, NJ (NJCUGothicKnights.com) | Eight New Jersey City University pitchers combined on a four-hitter as the Gothic Knights pounded out 14 hitters on a cold, windy afternoon and won a non-conference   game against a school from Madison, NJ for the second consecutive day as NJCU blew by FDU-Florham, 9-2, on April 2 at the Thomas M. Gerrity Athletic Complex.
 
NJCU (11-8) moved three games over .500 and improved to 5-1 at home this season, while snapping the Devils' (10-9) two-game winning streak. NJCU defeated FDU for the second straight year. It was the first meeting in Jersey City in 12 years.
 
Offensively, senior left fielder ANDREW RIVERA (Edison, NJ/Edison) batted 3-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs and freshman ANDREW NIECH (Avenel, NJ/Colonia), making his first career start at first base, knocked in three runs, batting 2-for-5 with a double, triple and run scored. Senior PETE SENYSZYN (Carteret, NJ/Carteret) , who started at designated hitter before sliding in at third base, was 3-for-4 with two runs scored and one RBI.
 
In a week where NJCU has six games in six days thanks to previous postponements being made up, the coaching staff elected a unique approach to pitching—almost everyone was available to throw, and no one would pitch more than two innings.
