Benefeito’s Big Blast Lifts CUI to Game 1 Win

Golden Eagles Take 2 out of 4 From the Urban Knights

The Green and Gold wrapped up their four-game series with Academy of Art Saturday afternoon. Just like in Friday's matchup, the Golden Eagles went 1-1 in the doubleheader. They dropped the last game 8-1, pushing their record to .500 and giving them a 8-7 conference record.

In game one, the Golden Eagles didn't get started until late. Junior pitcher Riley O'Sullivan got the nod on the mound and went six innings while striking out seven batters.

Finding themselves down 4-0 late in the seventh inning, the Golden Eagles decided to call upon the long ball. Sophomore Vito Fowler turned on a fastball and sent one over the fence hitting the scoreboard to cut the Urban Knights lead in half.

Then, in the bottom of the eighth inning Art U decided to intentionally walk freshman Jordan Bolden to face redshirt junior Nathan Benefeito. Bad decision. Benefeito welcomed the challenge and sent a moonshot over the left field fence to give the Golden Eagles a 6-4 lead.

Seniors Colton Bulger and Jorge Arellano each faced one batter in the top of the ninth and did their job. Graduate student Jake McBride came in for the save and closed the door on the Urban Knights.

CUI will return to the diamond April. 7th when they host Azusa Pacific at 2 p.m.
