Fords, Ospreys each win one in non-conference battle

POMONA, N.J. - The Haverford College baseball Fords and the Ospreys from Richard Stockton College split a non-conference doubleheader Sunday afternoon with the visiting Fords taking Game 1 by a 6-2 score and the hosts earning a 9-5 win in Game 2.

Haverford moves to 11-7 overall on the year while Stockton is 10-8 after the split.

The Ospreys pushed one run across the plate in the bottom of the first inning off of Haverford's Ben Regan, making his first start of the season on the mound, but Jeremy Zoll's leadoff single and stolen base kicked off a four-run second that put the Fords in front to stay.

Stockton added another run in the third but got no closer while the Fords picked up two more in the seventh after Louis DeRosa started the inning off with a single and later scored.

Regan worked four innings on the mound for the Fords allowing the two Stockton runs on six hits and a walk, earning his first win of the season. Dan Feller came on in relief for the final three innings and held the Stockton bats silent giving up just one walk in the 10 batters he faced.

DeRosa, with two hits, was the only player in the game with more than one hit. The two teams combined for just 10 hits in the Haverford victory.

In Game 2 it was the Fords who jumped ahead 1-0 after leadoff batter Jake Chaplin singled then scored on Mike Galetta's single to center field.

Mirroring Game 1, the next team to score put four runs up on the scoreboard as Stockton took a 4-1 lead in the second off Haverford starter Jonny Black and reliever Kevin Goff.

Chaplin added an RBI single in the third then a two-run RBI single in the fourth to knot the score up at 4-4 but the Ospreys added two runs in the bottom of the fourth then three more in the fifth to forge a five-run lead.

DeRosa would get on base in the seventh via an error by the Stockton shortstop and would come around to score on another error but that proved to be the final run of the game in the Stockton victory.

Chaplin finished the game with three hits, a run scored and three RBI while Galetta added three hits and one RBI.

Goff took the loss after giving up two runs on one hit and two walks in one and one-third innings of work.

Muhlenberg visits the Fords in their next outing, a 3:30 p.m. conference match-up set for this upcoming Wednesday afternoon.
