St. Joseph’s baseball team got a taste of the playoffs and wants more
Rosario DiLorenzo felt honored to be the pitcher tabbed to start St. Joseph’s College’s first ever playoff game. He didn’t expect it and the trust that the coaching staff showed in him, frankly, surprised him. It made it that much harder when DiLorenzo lost that game to Briarcliffe in the first round of the USCAA Small College World Series.
“People say that I had a good year as a freshman, but I don’t really feel that way,” said DiLorenzo, who had a 5-2 record with a 3.41 ERA in 11 starts last season. “I was a little satisfied, but not really. I wanted that game and I honestly can’t wait to get back there and really win it for us this time.”
It’s early on in the season, but it appears that DiLorenzo will get his shot as St. Joseph’s baseball team looks like it has the right mix of players to get back to the playoffs for the second year in a row and the second time in the program’s history. The Bears currently have a 9-6 record overall and are an impressive 8-2 playing in the Northeast after a rough 1-4 road trip down in Florida to start the season.
