STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Seton Hall batters walked a season-high 15 times in a 12-5 victory at Wagner on Wednesday.   The 15 walks are a season-high and the most since Saint Peter’s issued 19 against the Pirates on March 18, 1999.    The victory is the Pirates’ fifth in their last six games and improves them to 16-14 overall, an impressive record following an 0-9 start.   Seton Hall jumped out to an early lead in the top of the second inning.  Sal Annunziata (Bronx, N.Y.) reached on an error by the Seahawks third baseman and advanced to second when John Beaubien (Livingston, N.J.) walked.  After Dillon Hamlin (Colts Neck, N.J.) sacrificed both runners into scoring position, Ryan Sullivan (Stony Point, N.Y.) put down a bunt and Annunziata scored on the squeeze play.  With two outs, Zack Granite (Staten Island, N.Y.) doubled to left field, scoring Beaubien to give Seton Hall a 2-0 advantage.   In the top of the third inning, the Pirates broke the game open with three more runs.  Giuseppe Papaccio (Nutley, N.J.) delivered a one-out double down the right field line, and after Mike Genovese (Livingston, N.J.) walked, he was driven in by Annunziata’s RBI single.  Beaubien followed with a walk and Hamlin drove in Genovese with a fielder’s choice ground out to make the score 4-0.  With two outs, Sullivan walked to load the bases, and Granite followed with a walk of his own to force in the Pirates’ fifth run.   After Wagner got their first run of the game in the bottom of the third off Seton Hall starter Anthony Elia (Flanders, N.J.), Hamlin delivered a two-out, two-run ground-rule double in the top of the fourth inning to extend the Pirates’ lead to 7-1.  A balk would force home the Pirates’ eighth run before Wagner put an end to Seton Hall’s scoring in the fourth. Seton Hall led by as much as nine runs before Wagner scored three to close the gap late.   Granite reached base five times, going 1-for-3 with four walks, two runs scored, two RBIs and four stolen bases.  Beaubien didn’t register an official at bat because he walked in all four of his at bats.   Hamlin went 1-for-3 with a team-high three RBIs.   Annunziata, Scott Kalamar (Bethlehem, Pa.) and Alex Falconi (Freeport, N.Y.) had two hits apiece for the Pirates.   Elia earned the victory with five innings pitched, two earned runs, four strikeouts and two walks.   Coming up is Seton Hall’s BIG EAST bye weekend, so the Pirates will head to the University of Houston for a three-game set.  First pitch on Friday is scheduled for 7:30 pm ET.
