The sophomore picked up his first win of the season after giving up just two hits and striking out five over 6 2/3 scoreless innings as the Explorers secured a 2-0 home victory over Sacred Heart on Sunday at Hank DeVincent Field.
Ben Faso drove in the first run of the game in the sixth inning with an RBI-single to give the Explorers a 1-0 advantage. Brian Tagoe worked a walk, stole second and eventually scored on a wild pitch to add an insurance run.
Faso finished the afternoon 3-for-3 with a double. Through 18 games this season he leads the club in batting average (.378), total bases (32), and on-base percentage (.439)
The Explorers next travel to West Virginia for a Tuesday contest against the Mountaineers.
