Martin, Jones hurl Raptors to opening-day win

Box Score CAMDEN, N.J. – Senior Ryan Martin (Cherry Hill, NJ/Cherry Hill East) hurled six strong innings and senior Dashon Jones (Newark, NJ/East Side) collected the save with three no-hit innings to lead the Rutgers University-Camden baseball team over Neumann University, 6-2, in the Scarlet Raptors' season opener here Tuesday.

Martin allowed eight hits, two walks and two earned runs in six-plus innings, while striking out five. After walking the leadoff man in the seventh inning, Jones came in to induce a double play and end the inning with a strikeout. Only two Knights reached base the rest of the way against the senior righty – coming on a ninth-inning error and a fielder's choice that didn't retire a batter. Jones struck out three in his three-inning stint.

Offensively, the Scarlet Raptors collected 10 hits against five Neumann pitchers, with freshman catcher Jon Theckston (Gloucester, NJ/Gloucester Catholic) going 3-for-3 with two RBIs and junior designated hitter Adam Bartholomew (Haddon Heights, NJ/Bishop Eustace Prep) going 3-for-4 with one RBI.

Junior centerfielder Bobby Romano (Vineland, NJ/Vineland) went 1-for-3 with three runs and one RBI, while freshman third baseman Joe Brooks (Blackwood, NJ/Gloucester Catholic) went 1-for-3 with two RBIs.

Rutgers-Camden took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning when Bartholomew singled and was erased on a fielder's choice by Romano. Theckson's two-out single plated Romano.

Neumann bounced back with both of its runs in the fourth inning on four hits, including an RBI single by junior rightfielder Matt Sheneman (Flemington, NJ/Hunterdon Regional), and a sacrifice fly by sophomore leftfielder A.J. Koscelansky (East Norriton, PA/Pope John Paul II).

Rutgers-Camden bounced back in a three-run fifth inning to take the lead for good. With one out, junior first baseman Connor Hall (Delran, NJ/Delran) doubled. He scored on a two-out double by Romano to tie the game at 2-2. After a pair of walks loaded the bases, Brooks delivered a two-run single.

The Scarlet Raptors added a run in the sixth on a RBI single by Bartholomew. Theckston doubled home Romano, who had walked and stolen second, for the final run in the seventh.

Neumann starter Kristian DeLuzio (Limerick, PA/Spring Ford) took the loss, dropping his record to 0-2 for the 3-7 Knights. DeLuzio worked 4.2 innings, allowing seven hits, six walks and four earned runs. He struck out six.

Three players for the Knights went 2-for-4 apiece: junior third baseman Buddy Elgin (Chestertown, MD/Kent County), Sheneman and senior second baseman Trevor Wilkins (Georgetown, DE/Sussex Central).

The Scarlet Raptors host Widener University Wednesday in a 3:30 p.m. game.
