The New York University baseball team (18-21) defeated Yeshiva University (2-27) by a score of 13-0 on Thursday, May 5, at MCU Park in Brooklyn, NY.
NYU scored the game's first run in the bottom of the third inning on an RBI double by
Adrian Spitz.
The offensive display continued in the fourth inning as the Violets scored three more runs.
Extending their lead again in the bottom of the fifth inning on an RBI single from
Jack Elias, NYU's offense had another productive inning in the sixth, plating six more runs on RBI doubles from
Jonathan Iaione and Spitz mixed in with Yeshiva errors to bring the score to 11-0.
NYU again put a run across in each of the next two innings for the game's final margin.
