SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. - The Seton Hall baseball team was hindered by four errors, which led to three unearned runs, and dropped the series finale to LIU-Brooklyn, 6-3, on Sunday.

A pair of errors in the top of the second inning resulted in the Blackbirds taking a 2-0 lead against Seton Hall starter Zach Prendergast (Horsham, Pa.). The Hall got a run back in the bottom of the second inning, but LIU extended its lead to 3-1 in the top of the third.

The Pirates rallied with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning to tie the game. Rob Dadona (Staten Island, N.Y.) singled, Chris Chiaradio (Teaneck, N.J.) walked, and the duo advanced on a double steal. On the play, a throwing error by the Blackbird catcher allowed Dadona to score the Pirates' second run. Derek Jenkins (Annandale, N.J.) followed with an RBI single to tie the game at three.

Turning Point:
The tie however, didn't last long. With one out in the top of the sixth inning, back-to-back doubles by Kyle Ruth and Andrew turner put the Blackbirds in front for good, 4-3. LIU tacked on insurance runs in the top of the eighth and ninth innings.

Inside the Numbers:

Chiaradio and Matt Fortin (Nashua, N.H.) were the lone Pirates to reach base twice.

Sophomore Mike Alescio (Fair Haven, N.J.) clubbed his eighth double of the season, to tie for the team lead.
