Comeback seals Pirates series victory

The Seton Hall baseball team capped off a three-game series against the Butler Bulldogs with a 9-4 win at Jackson Kaiser Stadium in Queens, New York on Sunday afternoon in the rubber match of the set.

In David Festa’s seventh game start on the season for Seton Hall, the freshman threw five innings while allowing three runs and striking out eight in 92 total pitches. Festa’s ERA fell under 4.00 following his Sunday start to 3.95.

Despite Festa’s solid five inning-performance, Seton Hall was trailing for the first six frames and did not find a rhythm at the plate until the bottom of the sixth when Connor Hood singled through the right side to advance Tyler Shedler-McAvoy to second.
