JERSEY CITY, N.J. — The St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) baseball team battled New Jersey City University in a single non-conference contest on Wednesday afternoon, resulting in a one-sided loss.

How It Happened

• The Bears advanced a runner to third in the top of the first but failed to advance him the final 90 feet and NJCU capitalized, as a two-run single to center from Bill Feehan had them ahead 2-0 after one.

• From there, NJCU scored in five-straight innings highlighted by a bases-clearing double from Juan Pena to open up a six-run fifth inning. The Bears' offense couldn't get anything going until they advanced a runner to third in the eighth, but no comeback was in sight as the Gothic Knights' 16-0 advantage remained safe.
