Field Ties the Program Single-Season Record for Most RBIs in Regular Season Finale

FAIRFIELD, CT - The Iona University baseball team dropped its final game of the regular season, losing to Fairfield 16-5, on Friday afternoon. The Gaels offense came courtesy of three home-runs off the bat of Luca Lotito, James Kemp and Jake Field at Alumni Baseball Diamond.

Game Summary

Trailing 1-0, Luca Lotito leveled the score with one swing, launching his third home-run of the season in the second inning. The Stags reclaimed the lead in the bottom half of the second and managed to score 11 unanswered runs across the next three innings. 

On the mound for Iona, Gavin Bates pitched a scoreless inning in the fourth while Alex Hunt picked three strikeouts in relief. Trailing 12-1 and with two runners on in the seventh, Kemp delivered his third homer of the season, on a deep drive that cleared the left field fence. 

The Milestone

The Gaels final run of the season came on an eighth inning solo homer from Field. Field's historic regular season ends with him tying the record for most RBIs in a single season with 54 in his final collegiate at-bat. The senior captain now sits in the record book next to George Phillips (1991) and Bob Yager (1989) while no player has reached 50 RBI's or more in over a decade.
