Baseball Ends Season with Five Straight Wins

Violets defeat Sage 18-1 and 6-2

New York University's baseball team concluded its 2023 campaign with five straight wins after a doubleheader sweep at Russell Sage College on Sunday in Albany, NY.

NYU ran away with an 18-1 victory in game one and claimed the second 6-2, compiling 36 hits on the day.

Graduate student pitcher John Gassler ended his career in stellar fashion as he broke his own single-game program-record for strikeouts with 13 across 6.1 innings in the opener. Gassler allowed just two hits, one run and one walk to earn the win in his final collegiate outing.

NYU's offense provided plenty of support as the Violets led 5-0 after four full before breaking things open in the middle innings. Five runs came across in the fifth, followed by four in the sixth, one in the seventh and three in the eighth as 11 different Violets recorded hits.

Ryan Carr launched a grand slam in the sixth as part of a 3-for-4 outing with two runs and a stolen base. Connor Roggero went 3-for-5 with four runs scored and a solo homer while Max Oliveira finished 4-for-4 with two doubles, a run and an RBI. 

Tyler Offman, Richard Beggy and Alex VanLandingham added two hits apiece and Rob Conklin drove in three runs with a bases-clearing double in his lone at-bat.

Andrew Reid and Dylan Branca combined to throw 2.2 scoreless, hitless innings of relief to seal the dominant victory.

NYU jumped out to an early advantage in game two as well, leading 3-0 after three innings as Cam Dunn drove in a run in each of his first two at-bats, including a solo home run.

The middle innings were scoreless, then Sage plated single runs in the seventh and eighth to make it a one-run game, 3-2, entering the final frame. The Violets answered with three insurance runs in the top of the ninth and held the Gators scoreless to complete the sweep.

VanLandingham was 3-for-5 with two runs scored and a solo home run in the ninth, Dunn finished with three hits and Offman was 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles.

Tyler Judge earned the game two pitching win for the Violets after five shutout innings. He gave up just four hits and one walk while striking out six.

NYU's season-ending five-game win streak pushed the team over .500 for the year, finishing 2023 with a 17-16 record.
