Baseball: Bethel 1, Old Westbury 0 (Box Score 1) | Bethel 13, Old Westbury 0 (Box Score 2)
Junior Jake Marsh took to the mound for his first collegiate start picking up the win in a complete game effort. It only took 73 pitches for the preseason All-American to shutout the Panthers allowing a minimal two hits. He ended the game with five strikeouts.

Joey Fredrickson drove in the lone run in game one. Fredrickson's single just inside the right field line scored Mitch Butvilas who rocked a two-out double off the bottom of the right field fence in the first.

Game two saw an offensive spark from the Royals who scored 13 runs on 17 hits.  Oddly enough BU put up five runs in the fifth and six runs in the sixth after scoring one in both the first and third inning. Joey Fredrickson led the way in game two going 3-for-4 with three RBIs and two runs. Ty Koehn off the bench was 2-for-2 with three RBIs. Brady Leahy picked up his first win of the season throwing five innings of shutout work.

BU will enjoy a day off tomorrow as they head to Fort Myers Beach before returning to action Tuesday against Bethany College.
