SJU pitching dominates in series sweep over Campbell
Behind 28 dominant innings from the St. John’s pitching staff, the Red Storm opened up their 2018 season with a hard-earned series sweep over the Campbell Camels in North Carolina.
The first two games of the series were pitcher’s duels with the final scores of 3-1 and 1-0 (F/10). It took until the final game of the weekend series for the Johnnies’ bats to wake up, as they closed out Campbell with a 7-1 win.
In the opening game, Sean Mooney only lasted 5 innings, but don’t let the shortened outing fool you—he picked up right where he left off after last year’s dominant season. In those five innings, he only allowed three base-runners (2 hits, 1 walk) and struck out eight in the process.
