Riverdale, NY - MAAC-leading Fairfield swept Manhattan by scores of 16-4 and 12-4 in MAAC action at Van Cortlandt Park.

The Stags improve to 24-0, while the Jaspers fall to 6-14.

Game Two
Fairfield posted a 12-4 victory in the nightcap over Manhattan.

Despite the defeat, the Jaspers rapped out 11 hits.

Graduate student Richie Barrella (Larchmont, NY / Canterbury Prep) was 3-for-3 with a walk, while junior Nick Cimillo (Airmont, NY / Suffern) went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two walks and senior Jake Knop (Portland, ME / Portland) was 2-for-4 with a double and a run to pace the offense.

Unfortunately, the Stags answered with three runs in their next trip to the plate en route to building a 9-2 lead.

Manhattan would cut it to 9-4 in the bottom of the eighth inning on Will Trochiano's (Sr., Morganville, NJ / Marlboro) two-run infield single, but was unable to get any closer.

Junior LHP Jack Mahoney (Latham, NY / Stony Brook) was solid on the mound, striking out three while yielding five runs, four earned, on six hits over 6.0 innings.
