SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. - Sophomore Shane McCarthy (Fair Haven, N.J.) tossed a complete-game shutout as the Seton Hall baseball team blanked Manhattan, 2-0, on Friday for its seventh straight win.
McCarthy was masterful, scattering just two hits, while striking out a career-high 11 batters with no walks. The right-hander pitched to just two batters over the minimum and improved to 2-2 on the season.
Turning Point:
Seton Hall (11-6) scored all the runs it need in the bottom of the third inning. In a scoreless game, Mike Caputo (Morganville, N.J.) led off with a single. Senior Chris Chiaradio (Teaneck, N.J.) followed with a sacrifice bunt to advance Caputo to second. With two outs, senior Derek Jenkins (Annandale, N.J.) singled up the middle to score Caputo with the first run of the game.
