LANTANA, Fla. – The Felician College baseball team erased deficits of 3-0 and 4-3 to earn a 7-4 victory over Post University during the Palm Beach Challenge on Wednesday afternoon at the Santaluces Athletic Complex.

The game between fellow Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference members was a non-conference affair. Felician is ranked No. 6 in the most recent NCAA Division II East Region writers poll, and Post received votes in the same poll.

Senior shortstop Branden Shaw (Cooper City, Fla.) went 3 for 4 with a triple and two runs batted in for the Golden Falcons (5-8), who snapped a four-game losing streak. Felician freshman outfielder Jason Polgano (Bronx, N.Y.) had a double among three hits.

Post (2-5), the designated visiting team, put up an unearned run in the top of the sixth inning to break a 3-3 tie when junior Erik Rodriguez (Miami, Fla.) led off with a single, moved up on another hit two batters later, and scored on a Golden Falcon throwing error. But Felician went ahead for the first time by scoring twice in the bottom of the seventh.

With one out, Andrew LaMura (Brick, N.J.) worked a one-out walk off of Eagle reliever Dean White (Bethel, Conn.) (0-1). Shaw and Brennan Price (Middlesex, N.J.) were each hit by pitches to load the bases, and Matt Diesel (Massapequa Park, N.Y.) drew a walk to tie the game. Following a pitching change and a pop-out, sophomore first-baseman Nick Vazquez (Palm Coast, Fla.) picked up another base on balls to put Felician ahead for good.

The rally made a winner out of Felician sophomore right-hander Rob Naughton (Levittown, N.Y.) (2-0). Naughton scattered eight hits over seven innings, struck out four batters and walked none. Three of his four runs allowed were earned.

Felician senior righty Lawrence Schoer (Manalapan, N.J.) pitched a scoreless eighth. The Golden Falcons then tacked on two insurance runs in the bottom half on a two-out RBI triple by Shaw followed by Price's run-scoring double. Senior lefty Jack Fowler (Shrewsbury, N.J.) allowed the tying run on base in the top of the ninth, then recorded consecutive strikeouts to earn his first save of the season and the third of his career.

Post sophomore leadoff man Joey Picone (Washingtonville, N.Y.) doubled and was one of four Eagles with a pair of hits. The Golden Falcons out-hit the Eagles, 11-10, one day after being no-hit. Vazquez stole two bases for Felician.
