The Mercy University Baseball Team showcased impressive performances as they split a doubleheader against St. Thomas Aquinas College (STAC). In the first game, seniors John Nisco and Kolongi Goins, along with junior Nevin Scaperotti, recorded a team-high four RBIs each, contributing to a thrilling 21-19 victory. However, Mercy fell short in game two, losing 8-2, despite scoring first. The Mavericks secured four wins out of six matchups this season against the Spartans, improving their overall record to 21-19 and conference record to 12-10.

• Mercy scored 21 runs in game one, achieving 21 hits with no errors.
• STAC recorded 19 hits and made 2 errors in the same game.
• John Nisco finished the day with a total of 5 runs and 3 RBIs.
• Samuel Gil set a new program record with his 11th career save.

While the Mavericks excelled in offensive production in game one, their inability to maintain momentum in the second game raises concerns. The disparity in runs highlights the challenges Mercy faces when under pressure, as seen with STAC's five-run third inning. This inconsistency could affect their standings in the conference as they approach the season's conclusion.

• Mercy holds a 21-19 overall record and is tied at 12-10 in ECC play.
• The team's recent performance includes four wins in six games against STAC this season.
• Upcoming games present crucial opportunities for the Mavericks to solidify their conference position.

The Mavericks will look to rebound from their loss in the upcoming game against Staten Island on Thursday, April 23rd. Maintaining consistency and leveraging their offensive strengths will be key as they aim to improve their conference standing and prepare for the final stretch of the season.

Mercy must effectively balance their offensive prowess with defensive stability to secure wins. The ability to build on their successes while addressing weaknesses will ultimately determine their prospects in upcoming games and the overall season.
