Michalski's Three-Hit Morning Not Enough As Baseball Falls To Houghton On Tuesday

Davenport, FL - The John Jay baseball team rallied to tie the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the fifth but a ten-run top of the seventh by Houghton positioned the Highlanders to hold on to a 12-4 victory. 
 
Three Bloodhounds (0-3) had multi-hit days led by David Michalski, who went 3 for 4 with an RBI and a run scored. Michael Mauro and Michael Manzoeillo each had two hits with Manzoeillo driving in two of the four runs for John Jay. 
 
Sean Jost toed the rubber in his first start of the season, tossing six innings of one-run ball, as he allowed six hits while walking one and striking out two. Michael Luongo was tagged with the loss, giving up six runs (five earned) on four hits. 
 
Jose Morales powered the Highlanders offense, going 4 for 5 at the dish, scoring two runs while driving in three RBIs. Isaac Mann added two hits and two RBIs while Dylan Boprey, Sebastian Rodriguez and Ethan Cetton also had two hits apiece. 
 
Will Tormey allowed one run over five innings of work while not factoring into the decision. Tyler Gibson picked up the win, pitching a scoreless sixth inning. 
 
The two teams were in a scoreless stalemate until the top of the third. Cetton led off the frame with a single to right second and moved into scoring position on an infield single off the bat of Mann. 
 
A sacrifice bunt by Vincent Lucyszyn moved the runners up ninety feet before Morales laced an RBI single to right, scoring Cetton to give Houghton a 1-0 advantage. 
 
John Jay evened the contest in the bottom of the fifth. Matthew Brennan reached on a throwing error by the shortstop before John Spallin moved him to second on a single to left. 
 
Michalski roped a single to center which loaded the bases for John Jay. Mauro stepped in and promptly ripped an RBI base hit to right, scoring Brennan as the game was tied at 1-1. 
 
Jost cruised into the six, allowing just a single by Boprey and stranded him at first after getting the next batter to fly out to center and pop out to first, respectively. 
 
The Bloodhounds threatened in the bottom of the frame, as Ryan Kilcarr sent a one-out single to center and moved to second on a wild pitch by Gibson but was caught stealing third for the second out. 
 
Anthony Agosta drew a walk before moving up on a passed ball. Thomas Salerno drew a walk, giving the Bloodhounds a pair of runners but they were left on base as Brennan flew out to left to conclude the inning. 
 
Houghton erupted for ten runs on nine hits in the top of the seventh in taking an 11-1 lead with Morales contributing to one of the biggest hits in the frame, a two-run double to left. Four straight hits by Houghton added to four more runs as Mann capped the rally with a RBI double to left. 
 
John Jay got two runs back in the bottom of the stanza, as Michalski roped a RBI double to center, scoring Spallin. Two batters later, Manzoeillo singled to left that brought home Michalski. 
 
Jason Kauffeldt tacked on another run for the visitors, plating home Morales, who led off the inning with a single through the left side that made it 12-3. 
 
Manzoeillo connected on the final run of the game, sending an RBI single through the left side that brought in pinch-hitter Joseph Salerno. 
 
John Jay gears up for their fourth contest down at the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational as the Bloodhounds will take on the University of Dubuque on March 1. 
 
First-pitch is set for 12:00 p.m.
