@WidenerBaseball Upended by Kean in Season Opener

UNION, N.J. – Dylan Peiffer went 1-for-4 with an RBI, but the Widener University baseball team fell in its season opener 4-2 to the Kean Cougars on Wednesday night.
 
HIGHLIGHTS
  • In addition to Peiffer's offense, Brennan Taylor went 1-for-3 with a walk.
  • Mike Garofalo stole a pair of bases.
  • Making his collegiate debut, Kade Jones did not allow an earned run and struck out two in two innings.
  • Sean Maniatis picked up where he left off last season, authoring two scoreless innings, fanning one.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Kean posted an unearned run in the first inning on a throwing error and then upped the lead to 3-0 in the third on a squeeze bunt and a bases loaded walk.
  • A fielder's choice with runners at the corners in the fifth pushed a fourth run across for the Cougars.
  • Widener got on the board in the sixth as Garofalo walked and stole second. With two outs, Peiffer singled to right-center to plate Garofalo.
  • In the eighth, the Pride loaded the bases on walks before a groundout plated the final run of the contest.
