JERSEY CITY, N.J. (NJCUGothicKnights.com) | Rutgers University-Newark freshman right-handed pitcher Anthony Rosoline (Prospect Park, N.J./Paramus Catholic) became the first pitcher to shutout the New Jersey City University baseball team this season, tossing a complete-game victory as the Scarlet Raiders posted a 3-0 win over NJCU in a New Jersey Athletic Conference game on April 8 at the Thomas. M. Gerrity Athletic Complex.
 
NJCU falls to 13-7 (0-3 NJAC), losing in its home conference opener. The Gothic Knights had scored less than three runs in only one of their first 19 games coming in—a 3-1 loss to Ramapo on April 2. Rutgers-Newark (9-14, 1-2 NJAC) snaps a three-game losing streak while picking up its first conference win. NJCU lost despite an 8-5 margin in hits. The Knights committed four errors in the game but none led to a run.
 
Rosoline, a three-time NJAC Rookie Pitcher of the Week, improved to 6-0 on the season. Now responsible for two-thirds of the Raiders' wins this year, he tossed his first complete game. Over 106 pitches, he struck out five—all looking—walked one, and gave up eight hits.   
 
Junior third baseman Zach Buchholz (Colonia, N.J./John F. Kennedy Memorial-Iselin) was 0-for-4, including two balls hit well to right that RUN senior right fielder Billy Taylor (Allendale, NJ/Northern Regional) made great defensive plays on. Buchholz had his on-base streak snapped at 36 consecutive games—third longest in NJCU history and sixth longest in NJAC annals.
 
Freshman lefty Kyle Kafer (Bordentown, N.J./Bordentown) lost for the first time as a collegian (2-1). In 5.0 innings he struck out five and walked three. He allowed just two runs and four hits.
