Baseball Matches Best Start to a Season in Program History

Violets split with WashU, win three of four in the series

With its 8-6 win over Washington University in St. Louis to open today's doubleheader, the New York University baseball team matched its best start to a season in program history. The Violets fell 9-4 in the nightcap, but won 12 straight games to open the year for the second time ever (2018).

Following its morning victory, NYU was also the lone undefeated team across all three NCAA divisions before falling for the first time this year. The Violets took three of four contests from WashU this weekend to win their first University Athletic Association (UAA) series of 2022.

"It is so hard to win a UAA series," said Head Coach Doug Kimbler. "I'm happy about the adjustments and the commitment of our guys."

How It Happened

Game One: NYU 8, WashU 6
  • The Bears tacked on a run in the bottom of the first to open the scoring as Tim Van Kirk collected an RBI single.
  • Zane Baker singled to left to bring Connor Roggero home as NYU tied the score at one in the top of the second.
  • A run-scoring triple off the bat of Grant Berman highlighted a three-run third for the Violets for a 4-1 advantage.
  • WashU cut its deficit to one with a pair of tallies in their half of the third, but NYU matched the Bears with two runs in the top of the fourth to stay ahead by three (6-3).
  • Jack Miller hit a two-run double for the hosts in the fifth, bringing WashU back within one (6-5).
  • That score held for the next inning and a half until Nate Pallotta singled to right and drove in Alex VanLandingham for an NYU insurance run.
  • Both sides plated a run in the ninth, but it didn't impact the outcome as NYU came away with its 12th consecutive victory.
Game Two: WashU 9, NYU 4
  • Van Kirk once again drove in the first run of the game, this time on a first-inning sacrifice fly to put the Bears up 1-0.
  • An RBI single from Pallotta tied the score in the top of the second and Baker delivered in the third as NYU led 2-1 after three full.
  • Ryan Carr was responsible for both Violet runs in the fourth, driving in Pallotta with a single and later scoring on a wild pitch for a 4-1 advantage.
  • WashU chipped away with a run in the fourth, but took the lead for good after a five-run fifth inning behind five hits and an NYU miscue.
  • The Violets were held scoreless for the remainder of the contest while the Bears added single runs in the seventh and eighth to avoid the series sweep.
For the Violets

Game One
  • VanLandingham went a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate with three runs, a double and an RBI.
  • Berman finished 2-for-4 with a triple, double, run and RBI.
  • Jacob Singer (2-for-3, SB, RBI) and Richard Beggy (2-for-5, 3B, R, RBI) also had multi-hit outings.
  • Baker, Pallotta, Nick Argenziano and Dakota Barbet each drove in a run.
  • Starting pitcher Jack Hassett went 4.2 innings, allowing five runs (all earned), four walks and nine hits with five strikeouts.
  • Joe Cetale (1-0) got the win in relief, tossing 2.1 scoreless innings. He gave up just one hit, didn't surrender a walk and fanned a pair.
  • John Gassler earned his first save of the year, going two innings and allowing one run on three hits. He walked one and struck out three.
Game Two
  • Singer had the only multi-hit game for NYU, finishing 2-for-4 with a run scored. He's now riding a five-game hit streak with multiple hits in all five outings.
  • Baker, Pallotta and Carr drove in one run apiece.
  • Andrew Reid (0-1) got the start on the hill, recording six innings of work while surrendering seven runs (four earned) on nine hits and two walks. He struck out three in his second start of the season.
