MADISON, N.J. -- The FDU-Florham baseball team got back on track with a 2-0 shutout victory over John Jay in non-conference action, snapping a two-game losing streak.
 
DEVILS HIGHLIGHTS

• Junior John Rolli had a standout performance at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a triple and two singles.

Junior Peter Longo moved him over with a fly ball to center, and Matthew Bond followed with a clutch single to third base to bring Diaz home for the game's first run.
• The Devils added some insurance in the bottom of the eighth. Rolli sparked the inning with a lead off triple to left center, and Longo once again delivered, lifting a sacrifice fly to right field to plate the second run and extend the lead to 2-0.
• Freshman CJ Bates came on in the ninth and shut the door, retiring all three batters he faced to secure the shutout victory for the Devils.
