Continuing its spring break road trip, the Seton Hall Pirates baseball team defeated the Hatters of Stetson University on Tuesday, 5-1, in DeLand, Fla.
Catapulted by nearly flawless pitching from sophomore Billy Layne, Jr., the Pirates got the ball rolling early on. While the Hatters struggled to find their hitting stride, that did not stop the Hall from dominating the batter’s box. With bombs from the tandem of Rob Dadona and Al Molina, the Pirates took an early 2-0 lead in the second, accentuated by a double play from Mike Alescio.
Layne managed to hold Stetson scoreless for five innings until junior Matt Leon came on in relief.
