EMERSON, GA. - Sophomore Rob Dadona (Staten Island, N.Y.) scored the winning run in the top of the 12 inning as the Seton Hall baseball team rallied to defeat Savannah State, 4-3, in 12 innings in its first game of the Perfect Game Spring Swing on Friday.

With two outs in the top of the 12th inning, Mike Caputo (Morganville, N.J.) hit a grounder to third base, but Tiger third baseman Cole Bruce couldn't field it cleanly and Dadona scored the go-ahead run.

Seton Hall (7-6) starter Shane McCarthy (Fair Haven, N.J.) turned in a strong effort in the no decision giving up three earned runs over eight innings, while striking out a career-high 11 batters and walking four.

Turning Point:
With one out, senior Zack Weigel (Oak Park, Ill.) reached first on an error. After a ground out by Derek Jenkins (Annandale, N.J.) advanced him to second, Joe Poduslenko (Glen Mills, Pa.) delivered a two-out RBI single to score Weigel with the tying run and force extra innings.

Inside the Numbers:

Senior Sam Burum (Robbinsville, N.J.) pitched 2.1 innings of scoreless baseball to earn the victory. He also struck out three batters.

Junior Anthony Pacillo (Lyndhurst, N.J.) picked up his first career save with a scoreless 12th inning.

The first four players in the Pirates' batting order all reached base three times each.

Weigel and Jenkins led the Pirates with two hits apiece.

Seton Hall left 13 men on base, while Savannah State left nine.

News & Notes:

Jenkins has now hit safely in his last nine games, the longest streak this year for a Pirate.

With two steals today, Jenkins has 79 for his career and needs just five more to move into ninth place on Seton Hall's career list.

With his appearance today, Burum has 68 for his career and just five more to move into seventh place on Seton Hall's all-time pitching appearances list.

With the victory, head coach Rob Sheppard needs just 15 more victories to pass Owen T. Carroll for second on Seton Hall's career wins list.

Up Next:
Seton Hall will return to action tomorrow for its second of three games at the Perfect Game Spring Swing in Emerson, Ga. The Hall will face Big Ten foe Iowa at 4:30 pm.
