Teaneck, N.J. (April 6, 2008)--Mount St. Mary's edged Fairleigh Dickinson, 1-0, in 11 innings in the completion of yesterday's suspended game. The Knights rebounded to a 4-1 victory in the originally scheduled game.

The two teams resumed yesterday's game which was suspended due to darkness with the score tied, 0-0, after 10 innings of play. The Mount got to work quickly today when Drew Counselman and Josh Vittek singled to start the 11th inning. After a Matt Staso sacrifice bunt, Counselman came home on an error by the Fairleigh Dickinson catcher on Ryan Stamp's fielder's choice.

That was all the Mount needed as Brett Moore escaped a jam in the bottom of the 11th to pick up the save. Fairleigh Dickinson started the inning with a Jeff Vincent single and a walk by Brian Dillon. Vincent moved to third on a fly out to right, and was then gunned down at the plate when he was caught stealing. Moore then got a ground out to seal the win.

The star of the game was sophomore Mike Matta, who tossed eight innings of scoreless relief yesterday to earn the victory. Matta struck out seven in his eight innings of relief. John O'Hara allowed the run in the 11th to take the loss for the Knights (5-20, 1-2 NEC).

Vittek led the Mount offense with a 2-for-4 performance at the plate in the game.

In the nightcap, Fairleigh Dickinson earned a 4-1 victory to salvage the final game of the series. The fourth game had to be postponed because of yesterday's suspended contest.

FDU scored single runs in the second and third innings to take a 2-0 lead. Andrew Ahn's RBI double started the scoring while Matt Maher added a run-producing fielder's choice in the third. Ahn doubled and scored on a Mount error in the fourth for a 3-0 FDU advantage before the Mount got on the scoreboard in the fifth. Matt Staso doubled and came around to score on an Alex Andrews groundout to cut the deficit to 3-1. FDU added an insurance run in the eighth for the final margin.

Craig Henson allowed one earned run while striking out five in four innings of work to take the loss in the game for the Mount. Jimmy Mudgett allowed one run in four innings of relief, striking out three. O'Hara struck out eight in five innings to earn the victory in the second game for FDU. The Knights held the Mount to three hits in the game.

Mount St. Mary's returns to action on Monday afternoon when Coppin State visits for a 4:00 pm game at Straw Family Stadium on campus.
