Regional Opener Highlights
The DeSales University baseball squad opened its NCAA Regional tournament with a 12‑7 win over Ramapo College, exploiting small‑ball tactics to build an early advantage.
Seven bunts in the second inning helped the Bulldogs plate six runs before Ramapo could respond, a strategy that proved decisive in the high‑scoring affair.
Senior JT Anderosky delivered a perfect 4‑for‑4 performance, extending his career totals to 80 hits and 64 runs scored and breaking two single‑season records in the process.
Veteran pitcher Mike Hooker earned his ninth win of the season, a tally that ties the program’s record for victories in a single campaign.
Ramapo rallied in the eighth inning, scoring five runs to narrow the gap, but the Bulldogs held firm to preserve the lead.
The victory propels DeSales into the winner’s bracket, where they will meet Salve Regina on Saturday afternoon at Weiland Park.
