SCRANTON, Pa. —  Graduate student Kevin Reyes (Bronx, N.Y./AECI) became the 14th player in program history to knock 100 career hits and sophomore Anthony Hernandez (Selden, N.Y./Newfield) hit his second home run of his career but the St. Joseph's University Brooklyn baseball team saw their five-game winning streak halted by Marywood University with a 7-5 and 10-2 non-conference road defeats on Saturday.

Game 1: Marywood 7, St. Joseph's 5

Reyes knocked a single in his first at bat in the first to reach the milestone, and the Bears threatened, stranding the bases loaded. The Pacers saw their first two batters retired in the home half, but scratched out the game's first run with a two-out rally. The hosts extended their lead to 3-0 with scoring a pair in the third.

After a Michael Medina Jr. (Selden, N.Y./Newfield) singled and Thomas Airey (Baldwin, N.Y./Baldwin) walked to lead off the fourth, SJBK received some two-out hitting with Michael Gardener bringing home Medina with a single and Louis Lombardi (Brooklyn, N.Y./St. Edmund Prep) later doubling to knot the game at 3-all.

But the hosts would with four in the fourth to take the lead back for good. Hernandez lifted a two-run blast in the sixth to cut the Pacers lead in half, but the Bears couldn't muster any more offense.

Lombardi led the Bears with a 3-for-4 effort with two RBI and a double. Hernandez finished 2-for-3 with two RBI and a home run. Michael Gardener (Farmingdale, N.Y./Farmingdale) rounded out three Bears with multi-hit games batting 2-for-4 with a RBI and a pair of runs scored.

Game 2: Marywood 10, St. Joseph's 2

After out-hitting the hosts in game one, 10-8, the Bears bats were held to just five hits in the closer. Similar to the opener, the hosts led 3-0 again through three with the navy-and-gray getting on the board in the fourth, Medina Jr. scoring a pair with a two-out knock with runners in scoring position to cut the deficit to 3-2.

But the hosts would break open the one-run game responding with seven runs in the home half of the inning.

Lucas Collet (Toulouse, France/Lyc'ee Bellevue) knocked two of the five Bears hits in a 2-for-3 effort and scored once. Medina finished 1-for-3 with both RBI. Hernandez and Omar Salcedo (New York, N.Y./LaSalle Academy) collected the other SJCBK hits.
