Jaspers set for MAAC Championships:

The Manhattan College baseball team is scheduled to meet Rider University this afternoon as it opens defense of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Championship.

The top-seeded Jaspers (29-24, 18-6 MAAC) and fourth-seeded Broncs (21-32, 13-11) are set to square off at Joe Bruno Stadium in Troy at 3 p.m.

Joe Rock of Carmel, a junior outfielder, is batting .286 with 13 RBI in 35 games for the Jaspers, while freshman right-hander Mike Scarinci of Nanuet is pitching to a 5.12 ERA with a 5-4 record. The Pearl River alum has an outstanding 3-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio with 36 Ks and 12 bases on balls.

Senior right-hander Mike Giordano of Bedford is 2-4 with a crisp 3.69 ERA in eight starts. The Fox Lane grad also has shown sharp control, with 25 strikeouts and 10 walks.

Jaspers fans can listen to all of Manhattan’s MAAC Tournament games live at www.gojaspers.com.

Manhattan won the program’s fourth regular-season championship in the last five seasons under the leadership of first-year head coach Jim Duffy.

The Jaspers will face either No. 2 Canisius or No. 3 Fairfield on day two of the double-elimination tournament.

The MAAC Champion will earn the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
