The baseball team finished their regular season schedule splitting a doubleheader on Friday against Lehman College in CUNYAC games played at Bronx Community College.
The results give the Bearcats a 9-3 record in CUNYAC and they will now wait for the remaining conference games to be played this weekend to help discover their final playoff seeding. The Bearcats are set to host a one-game CUNYAC playoff next Tuesday afternoon at Flowers Park in New Rochelle.
They won the opener 5-2 behind the starting pitching of Nathaniel Demchak and a three-run homer by Andrew Horyczun.
Demchak pitched a complete game (3 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 8 K) to now go 8-0 in his career against CUNYAC opposition. Horyczun smacked his three-run homer in the fifth inning and Brian Hwang was perfect at the plate 3-for-3 in the win.
In the second game, Lehman jumped put to a 2-1 lead in the first inning and added runs in each of the fifth and sixth innings to split the doubleheader winning 4-1.
Joseph Cocozza smacked a double and Pedro Tejada, Jr. and Jake Ourvan each had a single in the tough loss.
Lehman scored their four runs on nine hits and received a complete game from Richard Illa (7 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 5 K).
In between the first and second game, the team and athletic department on Bearcat Appreciation Day honored Jacob Auerbach and Jake Ourvan for playing in their final regular season home contest.
