OLD WESTBURY, NY (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) - The SUNY College at Old Westbury baseball team hosted the Maritime Privateers on Sunday afternoon at the Jackie Robinson Athletic Complex for a Skyline Conference doubleheader.  The Panthers earned their second shutout of the season with a 4-0 victory in the opener before falling 7-1 in the finale.  The split moves Old Westbury (13-13-1) to 7-3 in conference play while Maritime (9-17) now stands at 2-7. 

Game One: Old Westbury 4, Maritime 0
Old Westbury did all its damage in the third inning off a two out rally, scoring four runs on four consecutive hits.  Brian Walsh collected his second hit of the game to spark the rally with a single.  Jeremy Delgado then doubled in Walsh to break the scoring ice.  John Angelino and Peter Romeo each followed with RBI singles while Romeo stole second and third before scoring on a passed ball to cap the scoring. 

Arismendy Nunez (3-4) pitched a brilliant game, striking out a career-best 11, while scattering seven hits to earn a complete game shutout.  Nunez retired his first eight batters before allowing a two out single in the third to Thomas Bauer. 

Walsh (2-4, 2B, R) extended his hitting streak to nine games, including seven straight multi-hit performances.  Old Westbury racked up eight stolen bases, including three by Romeo (1-3, RBI, R, BB) and a pair each by Angelino (1-4, RBI, R) and Jacob Coners (1-3, BB)

D'Juan Seymour (3-4) totaled three hits and Bauer (2-4) added two to lead Maritime.  

Sal Castagnaro (0-4) took Maritime's loss, giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks. 

Game Two: Maritime 7, Old Westbury 1
Maritime jumped ahead early with a four-spot in the second inning off starter Tim Walsh.  Bauer and Ed Martinez both stroked two run doubles for Maritime's early advantage. 

Reliever Stephen Chapter was charged with both of Maritime's runs in the fourth as the Privateers capitalized on a two out rally.  Chapter uncorked a wild pitch that scored Bauer and reliever Frank DiMaria was called on with the bases loaded, which led to him giving up an RBI single to Joseph Longo. 

Old Westbury broke through in the sixth with their lone run of the game.  Paul Valerio opened the frame by reaching on an error by second baseman Joseph Longo and two batters later scored on a Delgado sacrifice fly. 

Maritime tacked on one more run in the seventh off reliever Alex DiSanto.   DiSanto's throwing error allowed Bauer to reach and advance to third while Patrick Kirk scored Maritime's seventh run of the game. 

Valerio (1-3, R), Coners (1-3, SB) and Joseph Walsh (1-2, BB) all singled to account for Old Westbury's three hits.  Brian Walsh went 0-for-3 at the plate to end his nine game hitting streak.  

Maritime totaled eight hits, led by multi-hit performances by Martinez (2-4, 2 RBI, BB, 2B) and Bauer (2-3, 2 RBI, 2 R, 2B).

Tim Walsh (1-5) struck out four and suffered the setback for Old Westbury, lasting three innings while surrendering four runs on five hits and two walks.  Old Westbury's reliever fanned five and allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and five walks.   Christopher Myers (2-4) went the distance to earn Maritime's win, serving up one unearned run on three hits and four walks.
