A decisive weekend in the Bronx
The Atlantic 10 baseball race has entered its final stretch, and the Fordham Rams sit at 13‑14 overall, still alive for the championship. A win over St. Bonaventure this weekend is essential, and the team knows that any slip could drop them behind Rhode Island and George Mason, who currently hold the top spots.
Off the field, the Rams’ recent surge is driven by a handful of seniors who have turned the heat up in the last two weeks. Joey Donnelly is batting .328 and has strung together seven doubles, four homers and 13 RBI over his last 15 games, while Tommy McAndrews is hot at .356 with 11 runs, five doubles, five homers and nine RBI. Their contributions have helped the club become the third set of Fordham players to reach double‑digit home runs this season.
Taylor Kirk adds a spark with a .354 average, 12 runs scored, nine RBI and nine stolen bases in the same span, and Aric Berg has already logged the third 10‑win, 10‑save milestone of his career. On the mound, David James leads St. Bonaventure with a 3.86 ERA and 70 strikeouts in 72 innings, but the Rams’ offense will have to outmatch that experience.
The stakes extend beyond the diamond. A victory would not only boost Fordham’s standing but also reinforce the program’s momentum as it looks toward future seasons. With the championship on the line, the atmosphere in the Bronx is expected to be electric, and the outcome could reshape the conference landscape.
