PURCHASE, NY - With four unanswered runs in the bottom of the seventh, the CCNY baseball team earned an 8-5 victory over the Baruch College on Sunday Night.

Trailing 2-0 heading into the bottom of the fifth, the Lavender & Black led off the inning with a walk by senior Anthony Sautter before sophomore Brandon Gianikos singled down the right-field line put. Freshman Chris Moreno put the Beavers on the board with a two-RBI triple to center field. Two batters later, Moreno came home on a Cooper York on a sacrifice fly.

Both teams went scoreless in the sixth, before the Bearcats tallied three in the top of the seventh to regain the lead. Baruch's two scores came off a 2-RBI single to put the team up, 5-3.

The Beavers answered in the bottom of the inning. Moreno led the inning off with a deep double to right field. Eric Giglio batted home Moreno on an RBI single through the left side. After York singled,  Rob Mandich drove knocked in Hamley Volquez, who pinch-ran for Giglio, and York two at-bats later with a 2-RBI double down the left-field line. Mandich would tally a run after a throwing error by the catcher to boost the Beavers to a 7-5 lead.

CCNY added an insurance run with a score on Peter's single in the bottom of the eight to hold an 8-5 lead heading into the ninth inning.

In the ninth, sophomore Christian Barletta closed out the win with his first save of the season by striking out one and producing a fly ball to left field.
