CAMDEN, N.J. (March 26, 2025) – Graduate student Jack Murphy set the program career record for games played and five Rutgers University-Camden pitchers combined on a five-hit shutout as the Scarlet Raptors defeated Ursinus College, 6-0, on a cold night here Wednesday.
 
Murphy, the Scarlet Raptors' designated hitter, played in his 155th career game. He broke a tie for the program's all-time record with another Murphy, right fielder Brian Murphy, who played 154 games between 2001-04.
 
Rutgers-Camden, which received 69 votes toward Tuesday's ABCA Top 30 poll and 41 votes toward this week's D3basesball.com Top 25 poll, improved to 13-5. Ursinus, which received seven votes this week toward the ABCA poll, fell to 13-7.
 
Sophomore southpaw John Ormsby IV picked up the win for his first career decision at Rutgers-Camden. He worked five innings of three-hit shutout ball, walking five and striking out five. A quartet of Raptor relievers – sophomore Cian Phillips, sophomore Sean Glenn, junior Dylan Oliver and sophomore D.J. Juliano closed out the shutout, combining to allow only two hits and three walks the rest of the way, while striking out four.
 
Rutgers-Camden  scored the only run it needed in the first inning after a one-out double by junior second baseman Frankie Romond. He advanced to third on a two-out infield single by senior first baseman Diego Salazar and scored on a single by senior third baseman Ryan Nutley. 
 
The Scarlet Raptors scored another run in the second inning after junior left fielder Isaiah Pinkney walked and stole second base. He advanced to third on a ground out by sophomore right fielder Brandon Petrick and scored on a single by sophomore catcher Julian Gonzalez.
 
The Scarlet Raptors' two-run third inning featured a leadoff double by Salazar, an RBI single by Nutley and an RBI double by Petrick.
 
In the seventh inning, Murphy had a one-out single and was replaced by freshman pinch-runner John Marcucci, who moved to second base on an errant pickoff attempt. Petrick collected an RBI single to plate Marcucci.
 
The Scarlet Raptors added their final run in the eighth inning after Dubler walked, stole second and was sacrificed to third by Romond. Senior center fielder Steven Shaffer drove him home with a single.
 
Rutgers-Camden collected 12 hits in the game, including two apiece by Romond, Salazar, Nutley and Petrick. Both Nutley and Petrick collected a pair of RBIs.
