Baseball Drops Series Finale to Deleware State

The Stags fell to 1-2 on the season and dropped their opening series to Delaware State with a 9-3 loss at Soldier Field in Delaware.

Freshman pitcher Robert Gariano made his first career start and pitched 3 innings in the loss. Gariano allowed six runs on five hits, but just three of those runs were earned, as Fairfield committed three errors in the first two innings. Gariano had trouble with control in the first, allowing two passed balls.

Delaware State starter Josh Schmidt shut down the Stags offense for six innings, allowing just five hits and one run, while striking out six.

Sophomore second baseman Dave Jermaine led the Fairfield offense, going 3-5 with a RBI.

The Stags return to the northeast for a game at Hartford, before traveling to Bradenton, Fla. for seven games during spring break.
