MADISON, N.J. – The FDU-Florham baseball team celebrated their senior day as they took on Stevens in the final conference doubleheader of the season Sunday afternoon.
Game One:
Devils Highlights
- Junior John Rolli led the charge in Game One, going 1-for-4 with an RBI.
- Sophomore Xavier Diaz had a good first game, going 1-for-4 with a run scored.
- First year Christian Zamrok also had a good Game One, going 1-for-2 with a run scored.
How It Happened
- After falling into a quick 3-0 deficit, the Devils bounced back in the bottom of the first inning. Diaz started the offense off with a single to right field, while sophomore Matthew Bond drove him in with a fielder's choice to third base to make it a 3-1 game.
- The last scoring opportunity that the team had was in the seventh inning. Following three consecutive hit-by-pitches, junior Anthony DiChiara worked a full count walk to score junior Derek Wenskowski and bring the game to 13-2. Rolli continued to cut the deficit down to 13-3 with an RBI ground out to second base.
Game Two:

- Junior Trenon Stanard kept the Devils in the game, throwing four innings out of the pen while giving up two runs on no hits.
How It Happened
