SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. -- Sophomore Anthony Pacillo (Lyndhurst, N.J.) gave up just one earned run over a season-high eight innings, but it wasn't enough as the Seton Hall baseball team fell to Monmouth in 10 innings, 3-1, on Wednesday.

With the score tied at one, the Hawks broke the deadlock with two runs in the top of the 10th inning off relievers Luke Cahill (Tinton Falls, N.J.) and Joe DiBenedetto (Staten Island, N.Y.).

Seton Hall (17-13) had the winning run in scoring position in the bottom of the ninth, but wasn't able to score it.

Pacillo gets a no decision after giving up seven hits and one run over eight innings. The left-hander struck out four batters and walked only one. Monmouth's Jeff Paglione pitched three scoreless innings in relief to get the victory.

The Pirates grabbed an early lead in the bottom of the third inning. Derek Jenkins (Annandale, N.J.) led off with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Zack Weigel (Oak Park, Ill.). Joe Poduslenko (Glen Mills, Pa.) then reached on a fielding error by the Monmouth pitcher, allowing Jenkins to head to third base. Kyle Grimm (Bergenfield, N.J.) followed with a fielder's choice grounder and Jenkins scored the first run of the game.

The lead was short-lived however, as Monmouth struck for their lone run off Pacillo in the top of the fourth. With runners on second and third, the Hawks also scored their first run on a ground ball out.

For the next six innings, the pitchers dominated until Monmouth broke through in the top of the 10th.

Grimm, Jenkins and Mikael-Ali Mogues (New York, N.Y.) all collected two hits apiece for The Hall. As a whole, the Pirates recorded 10 hits, but could only muster one run. The Hall left 11 men on base.

Seton Hall will return to action on Friday, April 17 as it begins a three-game series at Owen T. Carroll Field with Butler. First pitch is scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
