EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Johnson & Wales University baseball team rallied from a 2-0 deficit to notch a 7-2 victory against Wentworth in a non-conference contest at Pierce Field on Friday afternoon.
After battling through four scoreless innings, Wentworth got on the board first when a two-run single to left by freshman J.P. Dennehy (Danbury, Conn.) put the visiting Leopards up 2-0.
Johnson & Wales knotted the game at 2-2 on a two-run single to right by senior Zack Boyes (West Warwick, R.I.). The Wildcats took the 5-2 lead on a bases clearing double to right by junior Jack Hocking (Hanover, Mass.) and finished the six run inning with an RBI single to right by senior Pete Rosa (Ambler, Pa.) to make the score 6-2. JWU tacked on an insurance run in the bottom of the eighth and cruised to the 7-2 victory.
Boyes went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and two RBI while Hocking added three hits with three RBI in the victory for the Wildcats.
Junior Aldo Morales (Havana, Cuba) notched the complete-game win for JWU, allowing two runs on five hits with nine strikeouts. Sophomore Johnny Ryan (Brant Rock, Mass.) suffered the setback for Wentworth, giving up three runs on one hit in two-thirds of an inning pitched. Freshman Ryan Daniels (Bristol, R.I.) pitched the first four innings, allowing four hits, walking one, and striking out three.
With the victory JWU improves to 12-4 while Wentworth falls to 8-5 on the season. The Wildcats will return to action on Saturday, March 30, when they host MIT for a non-conference contest at 1:00 p.m. Wentworth resumes Commonwealth Coast Conference play on Monday with a doubleheader at Eastern Nazarene.
