FLEMINGTON, N.J. – Senior righthander Ryan Williams (Kearny, N.J.) blanked Mount Saint Mary College for eight innings on just two hits while his Rutgers-Newark teammates pounded out seven extra-base hits in an 11-0 non-conference win at Diamond Nation on Tuesday.

Williams struck out nine and walked just one while allowing a two-out single through the right side of the infield by Knight third baseman Thomas McNoble (Breezy Point, N.Y.) in the third innning and a lead-off double to right centerfield by centerfielder Vinnie Carminati (Huntington, N.Y.) in the eighth before turning the shutout over to freshman Mike Wieczerzak (Clifton, N.J.). The rookie yielded only a two-out walk to complete the gem.

Senior Matt Connors (Hasbrouck Heights, N.J.) broke the Rutgers-Newark career runs scored record, scoring for the 146th time in his career after walking in the fourth. He also singled, stole second and scored in the three-run fifth inning to go two for four.

Sophomore rightfielder Owen Harshaney (Dunellen, N.J.) hammered a solo home run to start off the three-run third inning and swatted a ground-rule double to help ignite the three-run fifth. The ground rule double hit netting far over the left field fence, but was judged a double by the umpires.

Junior first baseman Chris Ballester (Freehold, N.J.) was a home run short of the cycle, going three for four with a two-run single in the third, an RBI triple to straightaway centerfield in the fourth and a ground rule double to left centerfield in the fifth.

Senior centerfielder Michael DiCenso (Wayne, N.J.) drove in four runs with a three-run home run in the fourth and an infield grounder in the fifth to finish two for four. Senior shortstop Patrick Reitemeyer (Kearny, N.J.) went two for four with a double and scored twice while junior designated hitter Mike Ciaramello (Bloomfield, N.J.) added a double and a sacrifice fly to the Raider attack.

Mount Saint Mary travels to Florida for seven games at the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational. They'll open up their southern swing against Moravian College on Sunday, March 6 at 2:00 p.m.
