BROOKVILLE, N.Y. (Mar. 30, 2015) - On Monday, the LIU Post baseball team took the series finale from Molloy, 9-2, as the offense broke out for 10 hits to earn its second-straight East Coast Conference win of the season.

The Pioneers (8-6, 6-2 ECC) got another strong pitching performance from sophomore Dan Jagiello (West Islip, N.Y.). The righty turned in 8.0 innings of nine-hit, two-run, eight-strikeout ball.

The green and gold got off to a quick start, going up 1-0 in the bottom of the first. Sophomore catcher Thomas Asbaty (Randolph, N.J.) reached on a fielder's choice, and a throwing error allowed graduate outfielder Vinny Iacono (Nesconset, N.Y.) to score.

Then, in the fourth, sophomore outfielder Kenny Daley (Glenwood Landing, N.Y.) hit a two-RBI double to right and Iacono followed with a two-run single, which widened the Pioneer lead to 5-0.

Molloy (9-11, 3-5 ECC) got on the board in the fifth, but LIU Post would add four in the seventh to seal it. Daley drove in two runs with a single through the right side of the infield, before Iacono ripped a double to right-center that scored a run. Red-shirt senior infielder Anthony Brunetti (Bayville, N.Y.) added a sacrifice fly to cap the scoring.

Freshman pitcher Vinny Ruggiero (Plainview, N.Y.) worked a perfect ninth in relief.

Iacono finished 4-for-5 with three RBIs. Daley went 2-for-4 with four RBIs and two runs scored. Red-shirt senior outfielder Rich Maccarone (Glen Cove, N.Y.) added two hits and two runs scored.

Head Coach Mike Gaffney and the Pioneers return to action on Thursday (Apr. 2), when they open a four-game set with St. Thomas Aquinas at the LIU Post Baseball Complex. First pitch is set for 3 p.m.
