ALBANY, N.Y. - Junior right-hander Bobby Hastry (Maynard, Mass.) allowed one run over five innings of work and junior closer Robert Ryan (Roslindale, Mass.) hurled a perfect ninth to pick up his ninth save, as Marist edged UAlbany, 4-2, in non-conference baseball action on Tuesday afternoon at Varsity Field.

Marist (19-24) strung together three straight hits to start the third inning and took a 1-0 lead on a RBI single by junior shortstop Pat Feeney (New City, N.Y.). The Red Foxes extended their lead in the following frame. Sophomore catcher Keith Glasser (Rensselaer, N.Y.) drilled an RBI single down the left-field line and junior right fielder Travis Musolf (Manchester, N.J.) delivered a sacrifice fly to give Marist a 3-0 advantage.

Junior left fielder Tom Ciccarone's (Somerville, N.J.) suicide squeeze in the eighth made the score 4-2. Redshirt junior reliever Mike Puckli (Leesburg, Va.) and Ryan made the lead stand up by throwing four combined innings of one-run relief. Hastry, who earned his second win of the season, struck out five. Overall, Marist hurlers held the Great Danes to just two extra-base hits and stranded eight runners on base.
