MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- Felician College scored three runs in the seventh inning and three more in the eighth to earn a 12-9 non-conference baseball victory over Mercy College during the Northeast Challenge on Sunday afternoon at the Ripken Experience Complex.

After Felician's first late rally, Mercy (0-4) scored a single run in the top of the eighth to tie the game at 9-9. In the bottom of the frame, the Golden Falcons (5-2) loaded the bases on a walk, a hit batsman, a sacrifice, and an intentional walk. Ray Rose (Piscataway, NJ) and Dave Schoer (Manalapan, NJ) drew back-to-back run-scoring walks, and Jonathan Del Franco (Bridgewater, NJ) capped the rally with a sacrifice fly. Reliever Anthony Spina (Toms River, NJ) (2-0) got the last four outs.

QUINTANA

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Senior first-baseman Frank Quintana’s (Miami, FL) third homerun of the day led the Felician College baseball team to a come-from-behind 11-10 victory over Queens (N.Y.) College on Saturday afternoon, and a sweep of two non-conference games during the Northeast Challenge at the Ripken Experience Complex. On Saturday morning, the Golden Falcons defeated Molloy College, 13-5.

In Felician’s late game, it trailed, 9-8, with two on and one out in the bottom of the eighth inning before Quintana drove the first offering from Queens reliever Vincent Basilicata (0-1) over the left-centerfield fence for the fourth lead change of the game. Quintana’s blast, his second of the game, was estimated at 450 feet. Kevin Barrett (Howell, NJ) worked around a solo homer by the Knights’ Maurice Santana (Queens, NY) to retire the side in the ninth and earn the victory.
