EMERSON, GA -- FreshmanCullen Dana (Montgomery, N.Y.) gave up just one run over seven innings and senior Brett Fontenelli (Toms River, N.J.) belted a three-run home run as the Seton Hall baseball team downed Iowa, 7-1, on Saturday.

The victory is the Pirates' fourth straight and second at the Perfect Game Spring Swing in Emerson, Ga. The Hall will go for the event sweep tomorrow morning vs. Nebraska-Omaha.

Turning Point:
Seton Hall's offense didn't take long to assert itself. The Pirates struck for four runs in the top of the first inning. With two runners on and one out, Mikael-Ali Mogues (New York, N.Y.) drove in the first run of the game with an RBI single. Fontenelli followed with his first career home run, a three-run shot to left field, which put The Hall on top, 4-0.

Inside the Numbers:

Dana improves to 2-0 with the victory, scattering six hits and striking out three batters.

Two Hawkeye errors in the top of the sixth inning led to another Seton Hall run. Ryan Ramiz (Freehold, N.J.) delivered a run-scoring sacrifice fly.

In the seventh inning, the Pirates scored two more times, thanks in part to a pair of Iowa wild pitches. Chris Chiaradio (Teaneck, N.J.) scored on a wild pitch, and Mike Alescio (Fair Haven, N.J.) scored on an RBI groundout by Derek Jenkins (Annandale, N.J.).

Sophomore Zach Schellenger (Malvern, Pa.) pitched the final two scoreless innings for Seton Hall, retiring five of the six outs via strikeout.

Seton Hall left four men on base, while Iowa left eight.

News & Notes:

With the victory, head coach Rob Sheppard needs just 14 more victories to pass Owen T. Carroll for second on Seton Hall's career wins list.

Seton Hall is now 3-1 vs. teams from the Big Ten Conference this season.

Up Next:
Seton Hall will return to action tomorrow for its final of three games at the Perfect Game Spring Swing in Emerson, Ga. The Hall will face Nebraska-Omaha at 10:00 am.
