Following a Taveras triple two batters later, Goldstein delivered a run-scoring base knock to make it 3-0.
• Praml was lights out, retiring 13-in-a-row from the last out of the first inning until he hit the lead-off batter in the sixth. He then set down the final six batters he faced to end the game with six-and-a-third consecutive hitless innings.

NOTES

Adelphi, which is receiving votes in the poll, had its four-game winning streak halted.
• The Penmen win the series after suffering a 1-0 loss to the Panthers on Saturday.
• Coro's home run was his first of the season and the seventh of his career.
• Praml, who has not allowed an earned run in 19-and-two-thirds consecutive innings, is 3-0 with a 0.45 ERA in his last three starts, allowing just two runs - one earned - on five hits, while punching out 20 and issuing three walks in 20 innings. In his last two starts - both one-hitters - Praml is 2-0 with 0.00 ERA, relinquishing just one unearned run and two hits, while fanning 13 and walking two, over 14 innings.
