UNION, NJ (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) - The SUNY College at Old Westbury baseball team dropped a 10-3 decision to the #6 Kean Cougars in non-conference action Tuesday afternoon from Jim Hynes Stadium.  Old Westbury slips to 6-9 on the season while Kean improved to 14-4. 

Kean scored in each of the opening four innings and jumped out to an early lead when Andy Lopez took Stephen Chapter deep with a two-run homer in the first inning.  Kean jumped ahead by five with three runs in the second as Lopez stroked a two-run triple to drive in the eventual game-winning run.

Old Westbury posted their first run of the game in the fourth inning on a run scoring single off the bat of Jonathan Pagan to score Brian Walsh, making it an 8-1 game.  John Angelino's solo homer in the fifth cut the deficit to six before Kean tacked on two more in the seventh.  In the ninth inning, Pagan's triple closed out the scoring, driving in Michael Parziale for the 10-3 final. 

Stephen Chapter (1-2) allowed eight runs (seven earned) on 10 hits and two walks over five innings.  Nick Zucchero (1-0) fanned five in seven innings of mound work to earn his first win of the season, allowing two runs on six hits.

Brian Walsh (2-4, 2B, R) registered his sixth multi-hit game of the season while Jonathan Pagan (2-4, 2 RBI, BB) tallied his fifth to extend his hit streak to six games.  Jeremy Delgado (1-4) has singled in the sixth inning to hit safely in six straight games.

Andy Lopez (2-4, HR, 3B) drove in four RBI and Joe O'Connor (2-3, BB) scored three runs and stole four bags to lead Kean to victory. 

Kean held the edge in hits (14-8) and stolen bases (6-3) while Old Westbury stranded one and Kean left eight on base.  Old Westbury committed two errors and have now registered a miscue in 13 straight games.   

NEW PALTZ HAWKS UP NEXT FOR THE PANTHERS: Old Westbury returns to the diamond on Wednesday (March 27) at 3 p.m. when they travel host the New Paltz Hawks for a non-conference battle from the Jackie Robinson Athletic Complex.
