Madison, NJ- The CMSV baseball team traveled across the bridge to take on a non-conference opponent in Drew University. The Dolphins fought hard until the end, but ultimately fell to the Bears, 11-9.

The Dolphins allowed five runs to score in the first inning which would prove to be detrimental in the matchup as they would fight from behind to overcome the early deficit. 

The Dolphins started their comeback hopes in the third inning as they scored their first run of the game on a sac bunt, but the Dolphins still trailed 5-1.

The fourth inning would be similar as the Dolphins scored another run behind a pair of singles from senior Matt DiNorcia and freshman Dom Porto. 

The Dolphins allowed one run in the sixth inning, but responded back with an explosion of offense in the seventh. 

Senior Jake Blinstub started the rally for the Dolphins with a single to center field. A walk to junior Engers Marte and another single from senior Eric Zimmermann would load the bases for CMSV. Senior Tyler Paulino singled down the left field line which would bring home two runs, and place two runners in scoring position for the Dolphins. 

Sophomore Joey DiNorcia kept the run going for the Dolphins with a double to bring home two more Dolphins and tie the game a six. M. DiNorcia singled to right field to score another run and a fielder's choice would bring home another run for CMSV as they took an 8-6 lead over the Bears. 

Unfortunately for the Dolphins, another five run inning for the Bears would give them an 11-8 lead over CMSV. 

The Dolphins made one more push to win the game in the eight as Blinstrub doubled and scored on a single from Zimmermann, but the Dolphins run would be halted by the Bears, as they fell to Drew University, 11-9. 

The Dolphins will look to regroup quickly as they take on the Panthers of Purchase College April 13th.
