Iona Baseball Drops Midweek Matchup at LIU

BROOKVILLE, NY — The Iona University baseball team had its six-game winning streak come to an end on Wednesday afternoon, falling 8-2 to LIU at LIU Baseball Stadium. The Maroon & Gold tallied 11 hits in the setback to the Sharks.
 
Sophomore Josiah Ragsdale led the Gaels with three hits including a third inning solo home run. Redshirt freshman Jordan Overton registered two hits and a run scored.

LIU struck first in the bottom of the second, scoring three runs on two hits and an Iona error to take the early lead.
 
Ragsdale got the Gaels on the scoreboard in the next half inning with a lead off home run over the right field fence.
 
The Sharks grabbed another run in the bottom of the third on a two-out single to right field for the 4-1 lead.
 
LIU broke the game open in the fourth inning, capitalizing on five hits and an error to score four runs to cap the team's scoring.
