DJ Caron Gets Two Hits, Sosa Hits First Collegiate Home Run in Baseball's Loss to Nova Southeastern

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Less than 24 hours after kicking off their season with a big win over Palm Beach Atlantic University, Post University was back on the diamond early Saturday afternoon for a matchup against Nova Southeastern University. Freshman infielder Dario Sosa continued the hot start to his collegiate career by hitting his first collegiate home run, which would be the lone run for the Eagles in the game, as the Sharks bested them by a score of 8-1. 

THE BASICS

Post University 1, Nova Southeastern University 8

Post University (1-1)

Nova Southeastern University (4-2)

HOW IT HAPPENED
The first three runs of the afternoon would all come from the Sharks in the third and fourth innings as senior catcher Tyson Cooper's third-inning two-RBI single and senior infielder MC Sagaro's sacrifice fly in the fourth inning helped extend Nova Southeastern's lead to three against sophomore starting pitcher Vincent Borghese. Borghese would last just three innings in which he allowed three runs on two hits with five strikeouts and four walks on 65 total pitches before being lifted for graduate right-hander Nathaniel Byrd.

Despite trailing 3-0, Sosa would give the Eagles life in the fifth inning with his solo home run, giving him three runs batted in to start the season after last night's 2-for-3, two-RBI performance. However, that would be all the offense for Post who was held to just one run on five hits and struck out a total of seven times while manufacturing four walks. Junior starting pitcher Collin Rothermel got his second win of the season for the Sharks after going five innings allowing the lone run on three hits with four strikeouts and three walks. 

In the following four innings of relief, Nova Southeastern allowed just three Eagle hitters to reach base while plating five five more runs offensively. Sophomore infielder Henry Wallen plated one with his RBI double in the sixth before the Sharks scraped across four more in the eighth via two hit by pitches, a sacrifice fly, and an RBI single to march on to their fourth win of the season while handing Post their first, 8-1. 

BY THE NUMBERS
  • Dario Sosa has opened the season with three runs batted in along with his first collegiate home run and sits second on the team in batting average behind DJ Caron at a .429 mark 
  • As a pitching staff, Post University gave up only eight hits, but allowed eight runners to reach base via the walk and four more to reach via hit by pitch while striking out 11 total as a staff
  • Tyson Cooper lead Nova Southeastern offensively today, going 2-for-4 with three RBIs and scoring once 
  • This was the first time Post University has faced Nova Southeastern in the history of the program

WHO'S NEXT
Post University closes their first Florida trip with a matchup against Lynn University slated to get underway tomorrow afternoon at 12:00 PM in Boca Raton, Florida. The Eagles are 0-3 all-time against the Fighting Knights and this will be the first time since 2015 in which the two teams are playing each other.
