After completing its first three-game series sweep of the season this past weekend against Butler, the Seton Hall baseball team failed to extend its winning ways on Tuesday, as the Pirates were defeated by the NJIT Highlanders, 10-4, at Owen T. Carroll Field.
Dylan Verdonk got the start for the Hall, following a one-inning outing on April 18 against Monmouth that left him frustrated. In that outing, the junior Verdonk allowed three earned runs and four hits. In what was his first start of the season on Tuesday, Verdonk endured similar struggles.
Highlanders leftfielder Jesse Uttendorfer led off the top of the second inning with a double, followed by a single from Matt Cocciadiferro.
