GAINESVILLE, FLA. – Senior Ryan Testani (Shelton, Conn) tossed six scoreless innings of relief as the Seton Hall baseball team rallied to defeat No. 2 Florida, 3-2, in 13 innings in game one of a doubleheader on Saturday.

Seton Hall got off to a quick start with a run in the top of the first inning on a two-out RBI single by Ryan Ramiz (Freehold, N.J.). Florida however, rallied with single runs in the bottom of the fifth and sixth innings off Pirate starter Zach Prendergast (Horsham, Pa.).

Turning Point:
With one out in the top of the ninth, Joe Poduslenko (Glen Mills, Pa.) drew a walk and advanced to third on another single by Ramiz. Mike Caputo (Morganville, N.J.) followed with a perfect bunt towards first base, and the safety-squeeze play allowed Poduslenko to score with the tying run.

While Testani dazzled in relief, Seton Hall's offense went back to work in the top of the 13^th inning. Rob Dadona (Staten Island, N.Y.) led off with a single and moved to second on a successful sacrifice by Al Molina (Freehold, N.J.). After Dadona stole third base, Caputo delivered a sacrifice fly to left field, which scored Dadona with the go-ahead run.

Prendergast got a no decision in a quality start. The right-hander pitched six innings and allowed two earned runs, while striking out five batters and not issuing a walk.
Testani allowed only three hits over six innings to earn the victory.
Ramiz reached base four times, going 3-for-5 with a walk and an RBI.
