The 6-foot-2 right-hander pitched 6 2/3 innings, yielding two earned runs on seven hits with two strikeouts and two walks, leaving the game with a 3-2 lead in an eventual 9-3 Felician loss. Felician teammate B.J. Senna of Wallingford, Conn., was the season’s first CACC Pitcher of the Week on March 3.

Riker is 0-1 with a 2.77 earned-run average and a .217 opponent batting average this season. He is a 2004 graduate of Red Bank Catholic, and played his first two collegiate seasons at Brookdale Community College.
