It is the Bearcats second tournament title, having captured the 2001 crown with a 5-3 win over the College of Staten Island. “It has been a long time since we have won this [2001] championship,” said Baruch interim head coach Jefferson Infante. “We have a good group of guys that played their hearts out and deserved to win.” Bearcat junior David Chestnut was named the Most Valuable Player of the Championship. The Brooklyn native tossed a complete game five-hitter to win the opening game of the tournament, 9-1 over Mitchell. At the plate he was 4-11 with two runs and two RBI. “I tip my hat to Mitchell, as they had allowed us only one hit through seven innings,” said Chestnut. “We really had to grind it out today. We were patient and were able to capitalize on the chances that we had.” The Bearcats scored twice in both the eighth and ninth innings to rally from behind for the win. Joseph Valentin, the Con Edison Player of the Game, gets credit for the game-winning RBI earning a bases loaded walk from Cody Faddis, scoring Thomas Daly and setting off the on-field celebration for the Bearcats. Ethan Graynor, who pitched two-thirds of an inning, walked Mejia to start the ninth inning, and then stole second. Benjamin Riofrio dribbled a ball down the third base line, and when the ball kicked past the third baseman, Mejia tried to score, but was tagged out at the plate. Thomas Daly followed with a double to center, scoring CHAMPIONSHIP GAME BOXSCORE Riofrio to tie the game, and set up the dramatic conclusion.

The Bearcats, 17-14, advance to play the winner of the evening contest between #2 John Jay College and the number-three seed College of Staten Island. Bearcats starter David Chestnut was named the Con Edison Player of the Game, earning the win with a complete-game five-hitter. The junior fanned six to improve to 5-2, with his fifth complete game of the year. The Brooklyn native returned to the mound after a 75-minute rain delay in the bottom of the fifth-inning, and scattered three more hits “I wanted to pound the strike zone and make them hit my pitches,” said Chestnut. Baruch got its first run on back-to-back doubles, with two outs, in the first-inning. Jorge Rosado has the first hit of the game, doubling to left field. Chestnut helped his own cause in the next at-bat with a double to center scoring Rosado, before getting thrown out at third-base. Joseph Valentin led off the home portion of the second inning with the Bearcats third double of the afternoon. He would come around to score, four batters later, on a single off the bat of Marcos Mejia. John Avona scored during the next plate appearance on a wild pitch by Jeremy Chapman, having reached by being hit by a pitch. The Bearcats added two more runs in the third inning, as again Chestnut helped his own cause, with an RBI single that scored Thomas Daly. Valentin drove in the team’s fifth run, as Rosado scored his second run of the day. Mitchell got on the board in the fourth-inning when Paul Martinez worked out a lead-off walk, coming around to score on a fielder’s choice, to make it 5-1. Baruch was held scoreless for the first time, in the bottom half of the inning, but played four runs, three in the sixth, to put the game out of reach. The Mariners threatened again in the seventh-inning, with runners on first and second and no out, before Chestnut induced two ground balls for outs. Mitchell then loaded the bases in the eighth inning, but again Chestnut induced the third out without a run scoring. Chapman (2-5) took the loss on the mound for Mitchell, allowing six runs, all earned, in his 4.1 innings of work, fanning four. Matthew Hagen struck out three, allowing three earned runs, in his 3.2 innings of relief. Neither Mariner pitcher walked a batter. Chestnut, Rosado, Valentin and James Meehan each had three hits for Baruch, which knocked out 16 as a team in the game. The Bearcats had seven extra base hits, with a pair of doubles from Rosado and a double and triple off the bet of Valentin. Matthew Radke and Jeffrey Perillo each had two of the Mariner five hits in the game. Game 2 • #3 Staten Island 11, #2 John Jay 4 After a rocky opening two innings in which he allowed two runs on five hits, College of Staten Island starter John Reyes settled in a gave two runs on six hits over the next 5.1 innings to earn the win in an 11-4 decision over second-seeded John Jay College in an opening round game at the 2009 CUNY Athletic Conference Baseball Championship at Keyspan Park. The Dolphins (19-18) Patrick Gale was named the Con Edison Player of the Game, going 2-4 with a game-high four RBI. His second inning single gave CSI a 3-2 lead which it would not relinquish. “I was down 0-2 and kept fighting, spoiling some pitches, waiting for a pitch to drive,” said Gale. “No one wants to make an out, we just want to keep the ball rolling.” Both teams put runs across the plate in the first inning as John Jay took a 2-1 advantage after the first frame. Steve Hession worked out a lead-off walk to open the game for CSI and proceeded to steal second, scoring on a single by Sal Todaro. The Bloodhounds got their first run when Jon Reyes walked Johan Abad with the bases loaded. Benjamin Biero gave John Jay the lead with a single to right, scoring Xavier Perez. CSI loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the second, and John Jay starter Jon Reyes appeared to be out of the jam, fanning Steve Hession and getting Henry Roman to pop up to shallow right field. Gale came through with the two-out RBI, plating a pair of runs with a ground ball through the left side. The Dolphin bats continued the assault, tallying two runs in the fourth, sixth and eighth innings, with a single run crossing the plate in the fifth to build a 10-3 advantage. The Bloodhounds had the beginning of a rally in the eighth inning, loading the bases for Xavier Perez, who singled into right field. Luis Guzman scored the fourth run for John Jay, but Steven Kendrick was thrown out at the plate by Thomas DeWaters to end the inning. CSI got the run back in the top of the ninth as a Gale sacrifice fly scored Hession for the 11-4 lead. Reyes, 5-3, allowed 11 hits over 7.1 innings pitched, striking out six and allowing four runs, all earned. Stephen Mojica tossed the final 1.2 innings, allowing one hit and striking out one, to end the game. John Massoni took the loss for John Jay, falling to 5-7, as he allowed eight runs on 10 hits, striking out eight and walking seven, in six innings of work. James Podlucky, who scored a run, tossed two innings for the Bloodhounds, allowing two runs on two hits, while Johan Abad pitched the ninth, allowing one run without giving up a hit. Each team had 12 hits on the day, while stranding 11 base runners. There were only three extra base its in the game, with a pair of doubles from CSI’s Sal Todara, and one by Mark Glennerster. Both players had two RBI and a run scored, with Todara going 3-4 and Glennerster going 3-5. Edwin Hernandez led the John Jay offense, going 4-5 with a stolen base. Abad was 1-3 on the night, with a fifth-inning single, extending his hitting streak to 16 consecutive games.

Martinez, in his first at-bat of the game, earned a one-out walk in the top of the decisive inning. He would score the game-winning run when the next batter, the Con Edison Player of the Game Matthew Hagen tripled to left centerfield. “I had been struggling all day,” said Hagen, who was 0-for-5 before his game-winning hit. “I had not been able to catch up to his fastball all afternoon and I knew he would come with it again.” The Mariners would add three more runs in the inning, with a two-RBI single off the bat of Jeffrey Perillo to make the score 8-4. John Jay, the secondseed of the tournament, had a runner reach on an error in the bottom half of the inning, but could do no more. “We have struggled all season to put hitting and pitching together in the same game,” Mariner head coach Len Farquhar said, “ and today we finally did it. Adam [Deltgen] is a four-year starter and we checked him after every inning.” The starting pitchers, Deltgen for Mitchell, and Bloodhounds starter Michael Colletta (5-8) both pitched into the 12th inning. Colletta was charged with the loss, allowing eight run in 12.2 innings of work, fanning 13 batters, to give him 102 for the season. Deltgen earned a no decision, pitching 11+ innings, fanning five and allowing four runs, three of them earned. Paul Martinez (2-4) earned the win as he provided two hitless innings of relief, after playing the first 11 innings in left field. Perillo finished the day 3-for-5 with three RBI and two runs scored to pace the Mariners offensive effort. Andrew Langlais was 3-for-6 with an RBI, while Clayton Boegler went 2-for-7 with two runs scored. Neither team was able to score in their first three at-bats, but each plated three runs during the fourth and fifth innings. The Mariners got their first run without a hit in the fourth inning as Perillo earned a lead-off walk and advanced to third on consecutive passed balls. A sacrifice fly by Matthew Radke gave Mitchell a 1-0 lead. Ethan Graynor followed with a triple to right center in the next at bat and would score as Jared Bishop singled on the first pitch of his at-bat. John Jay got one of the runs back in the bottom half of the inning as Jason Witten reached base on an error and advanced to second when a pick-off attempt went into the stands. He advanced to third on a ground out and scored on a single by Steven Kendrick. An RBI double to right center by Perillo with two out in the top of the fifth scored Boegler to give Mitchell a short-lived 3-1 lead. The Bloodhounds tied the score in the bottom of the inning, putting runners on second and third with no out. Massoni’s ground out to first scored James Podlucky. Xavier Perez drove in the game-tying run with a line drive to left field that Paul Martinez left his feet for but could not snag. The first three extra frames saw plenty of scoring chances for both sides, but neither could get the go ahead run across the plate. Mitchell put its first two runners on base in each the 10th and 11th inning, but stranded five runners in those two innings. John Jay got a runner to second in the 11th inning, but a fly out ended the threat. The Bloodhounds threatened again in the bottom of the 12th inning as Benjamin Beiro earned a lead-off walk. Facing his first batter, Martinez fielded a bunt by Jason Witten and forced Beiro at second base for the first out. He then fanned Luis Guzman and induced a ground ball to second to preserve the tie. Ethan Graynor appeared to give Mitchell the alleged go ahead run in the eighth, scoring Perillo with a sacrifice fly. John Jay tied the game in the ninth inning as Massoni doubled to left with one out, scoring Xavier Perez, and sending the game to extra frames. Game 4 • #1 Baruch 6, #3 Staten Island 5 Con Edison Player of the Game Marcos Mejia blasted a pair of two run homeruns over the left field wall to lead top-seeded Baruch College to a 6-5 win over the College of Staten Island Friday evening at the 2009 CUNY Athletic Conference Baseball Championship at Keyspan Park. The win advances the Bearcats, 18-14, to the title game of the championship. “I just wanted to make something happen,” said Mejia. “I was seeing his pitches really well, and was just trying to stay calm and relaxed and make something happen.” Mejia’s first homerun came in the bottom of the fifth inning, with John Avona on third and two out. It evened the game 3-3. His second round tripper came in the bottom of the seventh inning, with the Bearcats down 5-4, Manuel Guerrero on first base and one out. Mejia finished the game 2-3 with four RBI and two runs scored. The seventh inning homerun came after CSI (19-19) had retaken the lead with a two-run top of the inning. Thomas DeWaters reached on an error to lead off the inning and advanced to second two batters later when Steve Hession reached on an infield single. The duo advanced on an error by starting pitcher Daniel Brudie and another base on a sacrifice fly from Anthony Fortunato, scoring DeWaters and tying the score 4-4. Patrick Gale singled to left field to plate Hession for the go-ahead run. Ryan McGuire (2-2) earned the victory for the Bearcats throwing 2.1 innings of hitless relief, fanning two batters. Brudie allowed five runs, four of them earned, in his 6.2 innings of work. He allowed eight hits and did not walk or strikeout a batter. Patrick Gale (3-3) took the loss on the mound for CSI, throwing eight innings. He allowed six runs, five earned, on seven hits, while fanning five batters. The Dolphins struck first in the game, building a 3-0 lead, with single runs in the second, third and fourth innings. Mark Glennerster had two of those RBI, singling to score Sal Todaro in the second and scoring Tom DiPietro with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning. Patrick Gale had a sacrifice fly in the third to score Devon DiCasoli. The Bearcats got one run back in the bottom of the fourth inning, before tying the game in the fifth on Mejia’s first homerun. Baruch took its first lead of the game, 4-3, with an unearned run in the bottom of the sixth inning. Jorge Rosado worked a one-out walk and then stole second base, coming around to score on an error on a ball hit by Joseph Valentin. 2009 CUNY TOURNAMENT RECAPS Game 5 • #4 Mitchell 6, #3 Staten Island 2 Fourth-seeded Mitchell College scored six runs in the seventh inning to earn its first-ever trip to the championship game, defeating The College of Staten Island 6-2 at the 2009 CUNY Athletic Conference Baseball Championship at Keyspan Park. The Con Edison Player of the Game Andrew Langlais struck out seven batters as he allowed just one earned run, in earning the complete game victory for the Mariners. He also worked out a bases-loaded walk in the seventh-inning, forcing in the game-tying run. Langlais gave up just six hits in the contest. “Andy gave us a great effort, really stepping up in a big spot,” said Mitchell head coach Len Farquhar. “For him to go the distance in this game was key for us as we advance and need to win two more times if we are to capture the title.” Langlais retired the first 10 batters he faced, but back-to-back singles in the fourth by Devon DiCasoli and Patrick Gale put runners on the corner with one out. Tom DiPietro sent a fly ball down the right field line that was caught, but was deep enough to score DiCasoli for a 1-0 lead. The Mariners struggled to plate runs in the first six innings, as CSI starter James Mardikos worked in and out of trouble. Mitchell was 1-10 with runners in scoring position, stranding 13 runners over the first six innings, before breaking through in the seventh frame. Matthew Radke worked out a lead-off walk to start the seventh, and Stephen Mojica took over on the mound for CSI. He retired the first batter on a fielder’s choice ground ball, but would not retire another batter. Mojica hit the next batter, John McGarry, with a pitch, before inducing a potential inning ending ground ball that was misplayed by Anthony Fortunato, loading the bases. The walk issued to Langlais tied the game, and Paul Martinez followed with an RBI single to give Mitchell the lead. Clayton Boegler followed with a double to left center, playing two more runs, and ending Mojica’s afternoon. Martinez scored on a wild pitch by Chris D’Antuono, the third CSI pitcher of the inning and Jeffrey Perillo singled to center field to score Boegler and give the Mariners a 6-1 lead Boegler went 4-6 with two RBI for Mitchell, while Jared Bishop was 3-5 with a run scored. The Mariners stranded 16 runners in the game. DiCasoli and Michael Madalone both had two hits in the game for CSI. cunyac REGULAR SEASON champions (1978-2009) Year 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Champion John Jay John Jay Staten Island Staten Island Queens Brooklyn John Jay Staten Island John Jay Queens John Jay John Jay Staten Island Lehman John Jay Lehman Lehman Staten Island Lehman Staten Island Lehman Staten Island Staten Island John Jay John Jay Staten Island Staten Island John Jay Staten Island Lehman Staten Island Staten Island Staten Island Cazenovia New Jersey City John Jay John Jay Staten Island Baruch CUNYACoverall 8-0 n/a 7-1 n/a 7-1 n/a 6-1 n/a 8-0 n/a 6-1 n/a 6-1 n/a 6-1 n/a 4-1 n/a 4-1 n/a 4-0 n/a 4-0 n/a 7-1 n/a 8-0 25-8 n/a n/a n/a n/a 8-2 18-10 9-1 26-5 7-1 18-8 8-0 29-7 4-0 13-11 4-0 12-15 3-1 11-20 7-1 21-13 5-1 20-12 5-1 26-13 6-0 20-11 5-1 19-12 4-2 20-11 4-2 8-16 6-0 14-21 6-0 26-13 5-1 20-16 11-2 19-14 11-3 19-14 18-0 30-14 16-2 27-15 11-4 22-19 8-2 19-14-1 Head Coach Lou DeMartino Lou DeMartino Sonny Grasso Sonny Grasso Gary Krupsky n/a Lou DeMartino Sonny Grasso Lou DeMartino Gary Krupsky Lou DeMartino Lou DeMartino Matt Rozzi Nick Nikou Lou DeMartino Michael Fleischer Michael Fleischer Fran Hirschy Michael Fleischer Fran Hirschy Nick Nikou Bill Cali Bill Cali Lou DeMartino Lou DeMartino Bill Cali Bill Cali Lou DeMartino Bill Cali Juan ‘Kiko’ Reyes Bill Cali Bill Cali Bill Cali Pete Liddell Ken Heaton Dan Palumbo Dan Palumbo Bill Cali Jose Torres Player of the Year none selected none selected none selected none selected none selected none selected none selected none selected none selected none selected none selected none selected none selected Nelson Fernandez Victor Reich School n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a Lehman CSI Mickey Garcia Kevin Crombie Tom Tierney Willie Diaz Michael Cortazzo Jason Anarumo Juan ‘Kiko’ Reyes Joe Frittitta Juan ‘Kiko’ Reyes Lehman CSI CSI Lehman Lehman CSI Lehman John Jay Lehman Pitcher of the Year Mike Cosumano Kevin Crombie Michael Cortazzo Mike McInnis Ramon Pena Marcus Rodriguez Brian Burik School CSI CSI Lehman John Jay Baruch John Jay John Jay Frank Sansonetti Eric Sorensen Frank Sansonetti CSI John Jay CSI John Testa Rich Pasquale John Urrico CSI CSI CSI Robert Benjamin Miguel Jaquez Miguel Jaquez Miguel Jaquez Stephen Hillmann James DeCesare Seth Nowakowski Richard Gomez Jorge Rosado Baruch John Jay John Jay John Jay John Jay John Jay Mitchell CCNY Baruch Peter Park Nick Secchini Nick Secchini Nick Secchini Rob Motacki John Dobkowski Salvatore Messina Jeremy Chapman Michael Colletta Baruch CSI CSI CSI NJCU John Jay Mitchell Mitchell John Jay Q: What inspired you to play college athletics? RY: I followed in the footsteps of my good friend Robert Turbiak who was playing hockey for John Jay and convinced me that JJC needed good players. I enrolled in JJC to play hockey and earn a degree so that I could attain a career in law enforcement. The hockey team soon disbanded and I asked Coach Lou DeMartino if I could try out for the baseball team. Baseball was, and still is, my favorite sport. with all Sports and Recreation personnel. I help organize basketball, softball and other special events at CSI. I love athletics! Q: What would you say to current student-athletes, as they look forward to their next chapter in life? RY: Have fun, get school-serious and you must complete a degree. CUNY is the best bang for the buck! We have a great faculty, excellent facilities and a supportive and dedicated staff. Being an athlete is great for the mind and body but it does not make you a complete person. At some point, you must make a career decision and always ask questions of others while seeking help. Never do everything alone. Q: How did you decide upon attending John Jay? Rob Yurman: I enrolled at JJC to get a degree in Criminal Justice and make a career out of law enforcement. I also had a few close friends who were older and loved the school. Q: Can you tell us a single standout moment, while you were in college? RY: I can give you many, on and off the field, but here’s two that stand out. I remember our first CUNY Championship in 1977, I pitched against CSI in the last game of the season to clinch the title. Our Florida trips were infamous, but I remember our star pitcher Bob Mulligan beating Miami Dade College. The Dade team members were shocked! Q: Tell us about your greatest athletic achievement or game, and why it still impacts you today? RY: At the time, I think it was my sophomore year, I held the record for earned run average in DIII with a 0.75 ERA. It was broken by Mr. Mulligan the next year. He recorded a 0.54 and was drafted by the Minnesota Twins. However, my greatest achievement was surviving the Florida trips. Q: How would you sum up the influence your college coaches have made on your life? RY: I would simply say that it was the happiest four years I’ve ever spent in any school. My experiences and friendships have lasted to this day. Coach DeMartino was my second father. He gave us a lot of leash, but expected all of us to work hard and give our absolutely best effort. He supported us in school and always kept in touch with us after I graduated. When I entered the masters program, I made a point to visit Lou every chance I got. When he passed in 2002, I was devastated! Q: Talk about being on a team, and the relationships it fosters. Do you still keep up with your old teammates? RY: Yes, a large group of us meet annually at the Lou DeMartino memorial dinner. We golf regularly and call each other constantly. My teammates are really my soulmates. I truly love those guys! Q: Do you find difficulty keeping up with baseball, now that your focus is on your career? RY: I watch a lot of CSI games: Baseball, basketball and Softball. I know all of our coaches and have a good rapport ROB YURMAN Robert Yurman played baseball at CUNY’s John Jay College for Criminal Justice from 1977-80. A right-handed pitcher for legendary head coach Lou DeMartino, the Bloodhounds won the CUNYAC title three consecutive seasons from 1977-79. In ’78, Yurman set the Division III record for earned run average (ERA) in a season at 0.75. He earned his Bachelor’s Degree (BS) in Criminal Justice (‘81) and his Master’s (MPA) in Public Administration (‘97). For over twenty years, Yurman has been working at the College of Staten Island, where he is currently the Associate Director of Public Safety. He also teaches literacy for the Continuing Education department at CSI. “Rob and I came in as freshmen together in 1976, we quickly became very good friends, Rob was also a great teammate. He always but the team before himself, even when he had to skip a turn in the starting rotation, he never complained. He had and still has a tremendous sense of humor in any situation. People appreciate that. We remain great friends to this day,” Bob Mulligan, Yurman’s teammate, who was drafted out of John Jay by the Minnesota Twins and is the current head coach at Monsignor Farrell High School. Q: What led you to your current career path? RY: JJC groomed me for a career in law enforcement and when I graduated I was on every civil service list as well as being sought after by certain federal agencies. When an internship opened up at CSI, I accepted the position. I was called for some of the civil service positions but accepted a permanent position at the College. I am ever grateful that I did, I’ve been here since. I love it here! Q: How did being a student-athlete help you in your career or personal life? RY: I still play hoops twice a week, hockey once a week and starting May, intramural softball once a week. I also golf as much as I can squeeze in. Even though I’m much older, playing sports makes me feel younger. I’m always around student-athletes so why not act like them and compete with them. Q: As an alumnus, do you keep up with John Jay? RY: Not as much as I should, only because my life has shifted to CSI. I do see my teammates often and Bloodhounds Head Baseball Coach Dan Palumbo when he comes to our campus. I attend Lou’s dinner annually, it’s the least I can do. Q: Can you tell us your final thoughts about your experience as a student-athlete? RY: It was my best four years in any institution! I talk to CSI coaches and tell them that if it wasn’t for Lou and the baseball program I would not have graduated and would have entered the work force.
