PATCHOGUE, N.Y. — Senior Kevin Reyes went 4-for-4 at the plate and scored a run while Anthony Hernandez went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored, however, the St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) baseball team dropped the first game of Sunday's twin bill to SUNY Maritime College, 7-5.

Joining Reyes and Hernandez with multi-hit games were Chris Leary and Nick Tapio, who both hit doubles and recorded an RBI each. Louis Lombardi also drove in a pair of runs.

Reyes would go 2-for-3 with a pair of runs scored in the nightcap while Leary drove home both runs for the Bears (2-20, 1-14 Skyline) as the Privateers (10-5, 7-2 Skyline) took the 14-2 win.

Along with Reyes, SJC honored their six graduating seniors from Gregg Alfano Field: C.J. Bunnicelli, Darius Cadle, William DeLuca, Nicholas Hernandez, and Matthew Rienzi. All six seniors would see action on Sunday.

Game 1: Maritime 7, St. Joseph's (Brooklyn) 5

The Privateers took an early 2-0 lead in the first thanks to a double that found the left-center field gap. Reyes' leadoff double began the bottom half of the inning; scoring on Leary's single to put the Bears on the board. Hernandez followed that up with a single up the middle before he and Leary scored on a two-bagger by Lombardi; giving the Bears a 3-2 edge.

Vasilios Vafakos drew the game even at 3 with a single in the away half of the second. The freshman outfielder batted in the go-ahead run on a sac fly in the fourth, 4-3.

Leary doubled to begin the fifth. Hernandez blooped a single over the head of the Maritime first baseman and down the right-field line to once again tie the game, this time at 4 apiece.

It remained knotted at 4 until the eighth when Danny Green's RBI single gave the Privateers retake the lead at 5-4. Bunnicelli was pulled after 7.1 innings, allowing three earned runs and settling for the loss.

Maritime plated a pair of insurance runs in the ninth before the Bears made things interesting in the ninth as Tapio doubled in Lucas Collett to come within a pair of runs. The Privateers were able to close it out, taking the Skyline game, 7-5.

Game 2: Maritime 14, St. Joseph's Brooklyn 2

A combination of passed balls and wild pitches plated Vafakos for the opening run of the game in the first, adding a couple more later in the frame.

As was the case in game one, Reyes led off the Bears' half of the first with a double and scored on Leary's single up the middle; grabbing a run back at 3-1.

Maritime saw their three-run lead restored in the second but the Bears once again cut the deficit to two in the third with Leary bringing Reyes home, this time via a sac bunt, 4-2.

The Privateers further distanced themselves by scoring in each of the final four innings, headlined by a pair of doubles in that stretch and a seventh-inning homer, to win the non-conference game 14-2 and sweep the series from SJC.

DeLuca started the game on the mound for the Bears, tossing an inning and being dealt the loss. Rienzi played his 45th and final game in a Bears uniform, extending the program record for appearances by a pitcher, coming on for DeLuca in the second. It was followed up by Cadle's longest outing of the season, pitching 2.2 innings in relief and striking out three.

The seventh inning saw Reyes fan a pair in his first-ever appearance on the bump and Bunnicelli, entering as a pinch hitter, notching his first collegiate hit in the bottom of the inning.
