Ewing, NJ – Shortstop Danny Borup and centerfielder Matt Giacose had two hits each as 14^th-ranked The College of New Jersey blanked Montclair State, 3-0 at Ackerman Park on Sunday afternoon.

Three Lions pitchers combined on a three-hit shutout as TCNJ (17-3, 5-1 NJAC) finished off the home-and-home sweep between the teams. New Jersey posted a 6-2 win at Yogi Berra Stadium on Thursday. Meanwhile, MSU dropped its fourth straight and fell to 10-12 overall, 1-5 in conference play.

TCNJ got all of its runs in the top of the second. Gary Otten scored on a fielder's choice for the first run and Chris Reeder lofted a sac fly to score Giacose for a 2-0 lead. Borup singled home Fischer for the final run.

That proved to be all the scoring the host would need as starter Matt Volpe (3-0) allowed just two hits and struck out six in 5 2/3 innings. He would get the win. Nick Kleftogiannis registered four outs before handing the ball over to Dylan Crowley who picked up his fourth save of the year and second against the Red Hawks. Crowley allowed a hit over the final two innings.

Dominick Leuizzi, ANDREW OLLWERTHER and JUSTIN BATES accounted for the Red Hawks' three hits in the game. TYLER HIGGINS (0-1) took the loss for MSU. MATT PICKUS pitched six scoreless innings in relief allowing six hits with one strikeout and one walk.

Montclair State is back in action on Monday, April 8 traveling to Center Valley, PA for a 3:30 pm contest with DeSales University. It will be the second meeting of the year between the teams with MSU winning the first go-around 11-4 at Yogi Berra Stadium on March 27.
