The Irish didn’t want to let another team think they could hang around with them and it showed against Marist. Link Jarrett’s team jumped out to an early 8-0 lead after the first inning and then cruised to a 20-2 win to open their weekend series.
It was a total team effort as four players (TJ Williams, Jack Zyska, DM Jefferson and Nick Juaire) each had multiple RBIs in the contest. Ryan Cole led the team with three hits, and two players, Zyska and Justin Kapus hit homers.
Starter Aidan Tyrell was magnificent, going seven strong innings, allowing just three hits, no runs and striking out five batters. Sammy Cooper finished off the game and although he did allow two runs, he struck out three finishing off the blow out.
