The Seton Hall baseball team overcame a five-run deficit but lost 6-5 to Fairleigh Dickinson in 10 innings on Friday afternoon.
Farleigh Dickinson’s Tom Ruscitti hit a walk-off single that scored Tristan Plescia and ended the Pirates’ hopes of picking up their first win of the 2019 season.
Farleigh Dickinson jumped out to an early five run lead, knocking out Pirates starter Noah Thompson by scoring one run in the first and four in the second. Thompson, a junior from Frisco, Texas, gave up five runs on six hits in one and two-thirds innings.
Blake Espinal relieved Thompson and came up big, holding Farleigh Dickinson’s bats at bay with four and a third scoreless innings, striking out four and scattering three hits.
