QUEENS, N.Y. – Senior Mike Caputo (Morganville, N.J.) went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI, but the Seton Hall baseball team fell at St. John's, 9-2, on Friday.

St. John's got to Seton Hall starter Shane McCarthy (Fair Haven, N.J.) right away, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first inning. With the bases loaded, Josh Shaw hit a two-out, bases-clearing double to left field to give the Red Storm at 3-0 lead.

Trailing 4-0, the Pirates appeared poised to cut into the Red Storm lead in the top of the third, but they left the bases loaded.

In the bottom of the third inning, St. John's offense went right back to work, erupting for four more runs, aided by a pair of Seton Hall errors. When the smoke cleared, the Red Storm had a commanding 8-0 advantage.

Inside the Numbers:

Senior Jackson Martin (Collegeville, Pa.) went 2-for-4 with a double.
Sophomore Sebastiano Santorelli (Staten Island, N.Y.) had a pinch-hit RBI single in the ninth inning.
McCarthy allowed five earned runs over five innings.
Freshman Corey Sawyer (Kearny, N.J.) allowed one run over a career-high three innings pitched.
Both teams left nine men on base.

News & Notes:

McCarthy's start today is the 35^th of his career, which ties him with former Pirate Charlie Puleo for eighth place on Seton Hall's career list.
Toke has now hit safely in eight consecutive games. It's the longest current streak on the team.
Seton Hall falls to 57-66 all-time against St. John's.

Next Up:
Seton Hall will return to action tomorrow when it continues its three-game series in Queens, N.Y. against St. John's. First pitch is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.
