Brookhaven, NY (3/16/12)  The Dominican College baseball team dropped a non-conference double-header to host, Dowling College, this afternoon in games played at Golden Lions Field.  With the losses, Dominican falls to 2-10 on the season while Dowling improves to 8-7 overall.

Game One:  Both team had four hits in game one action, but a four run fourth inning and two more runs in the fifth gave the Golden Lions the 6-0 victory.  Dowling's pitcher tallied 14 strikeouts in the game.

Charger starter Ryan Calby (Huntington Station, NY) suffered the loss (0-1), allowing six runs (three earned) on four hits.

Game Two:  The Chargers got on the board first in the night cap with a run in the second inning as catcher Dallan Vecchio (Boca Raton, FL) led off the inning with a double to right center field and moved to third on the sacrifice bunt by Austin Holzknecht (Coral Springs, FL).  Vecchio would later score on a wild pitch.

DC added a run in the top of the seventh as Oliver Christensen (Coral Springs, FL) got a one out walk and moved to third on a sacrifice.  Outfielder Tony Blake (Windsor, CT) doubled to right center field to pick up the RBI and give Dominican a 2-0 lead.
