CAMDEN, N.J. (April 11, 2022) – The Rutgers University-Newark baseball team took advantage of 18 hits, seven walks, one hit batsman and four errors as it defeated Rutgers University-Camden, 10-1, in New Jersey Athletic Conference action on a cold night here Monday.
 
The win lifted the Scarlet Raiders to 12-10 overall, while the Scarlet Raptors' loss dropped them to 14-11. Both teams are 2-4 in the NJAC after splitting their home-and-home season series. Rutgers-Camden posted an 8-7 win in Newark on Friday.
 
The Scarlet Raiders scored a pair of runs in the third inning on four hits – two of them bloopers into the outfield – off Raptor starter Jack Murphy. That proved to be more than enough support for Newark sophomore starter Liam Winslow, who worked six innings of three-hit shutout ball to raise his record to 2-1. He walked one batter.
 
Murphy (2-3) worked 5.2 innings, allowing 12 hits and four earned runs, while striking out one.
 
The Scarlet Raiders kept chipping away with insurance runs, adding one in the fifth, two in the sixth and one in the seventh inning. They closed the night with a four-run ninth inning.
 
Rutgers-Camden, meanwhile, managed only four hits in the game, but left the bases loaded in each of the last three innings, aided by six walks, two hit batsmen and one error. The lone hit over that span was a pinch-hit RBI single in the ninth inning by freshman Diego Salazar, breaking up Newark's shutout bid.
 
For the game, freshman catcher Jon Rosado collected four hits for Rutgers-Newark. Senior second baseman Jamir Ramos and sophomore third baseman Robert Gonzalez added three hits apiece.
 
For Rutgers-Camden, sophomore center fielder Auggie Uzdanovics reached base in all four of his plate appearances, going 2-for-2 with a single and a double, walking once and getting hit by a pitch. The other two Raptor hits were Salazar's RBI single and a sixth-inning double by senior shortstop Jesse Gerdes.
