Early Sparks Set the Tone
UAlbany struck first when Michael Maggio doubled down the line and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Tre Mariano, putting the Great Danes on the board before Le Moyne could answer.
The Flyers responded with a single run in the second inning, but the lead was short‑lived. John Vitucci’s two‑RBI double swung the momentum back to Albany, extending their advantage.
Third Inning Explosion
The third inning became the turning point as UAlbany plated six runs. Brian Guerrero delivered a two‑RBI single, and Mariano capped the burst with a bases‑loaded hit by pitch, clearing the bases and pushing the lead to double digits.
A fifth‑inning RBI single by Maggio added three more runs, further stretching the Great Danes’ cushion.
Sixth Inning Fireworks
UAlbany erupted for seven additional runs in the sixth. Mariano’s three‑RBI double ignited the surge, while contributions from Patrick DeSarno and others kept the offense rolling.
Le Moyne managed to add two runs in the seventh, but the damage had already been done, and the final score settled at 20‑3.
Standout Performers
Tre Mariano led the charge with six runs driven in and a double, while Michael Maggio contributed a triple, two RBIs and three runs scored. John Vitucci’s double and two RBIs anchored the early rally, and Joe Perri’s three‑hit, three‑run effort rounded out a balanced attack.
