POMONA, N.Y. - The Queens College baseball team opened up Senior Night with an 11-hit, nine-walk offensive onslaught Monday at Provident Bank Park, as the Knights made a complete-game six-hitter from junior Jared Mancini (Pt. Washington, N.Y.) stand up with an 11-1 triumph over St. Thomas Aquinas College, in the front end of an East Coast Conference doubleheader.

The Spartans took game two by a 12-1 count.

Prior to game one of the twinbill, head coach Tom Sowinski and the Queens College baseball team honored five seniors who were participating in their final collegiate doubleheader: Conor Burke (Old Bethpage, N.Y.); Kyle Contino (Ozone Park, N.Y.); Warren Kelly (New Hyde Park, N.Y.); Tom Mercatante (Roslyn Harbor, N.Y.); and Eddie Torres (Brooklyn, N.Y.).

Game 1: Queens 11, St. Thomas Aquinas 1

Kelly went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs and a RBI, while freshman Nick LoBello (Baldwin, N.Y.) went 3-for-5 with one run and another batted in.

Mancini went the distance on the hill for his first victory of the season, issuing just one walk and holding the regular-season ECC champion Spartans off the scoreboard until the seventh inning. The righty also sat down four STAC hitters on strikeouts.

QC got on the board in the bottom of the third inning when LoBello scored on a bases-loaded walk, before the Knights sent 15 players to the plate in the fourth frame, scoring nine runs in the process.

Game 2: St. Thomas Aquinas 12, Queens 1

The Knights responded to a three-run first inning by the Spartans with a run of their own in the bottom of the first inning. Kelly (2-for-3) lofted a sacrifice fly to the outfield, scoring sophomore Joe Salanitri (W. Islip, N.Y.) - who scored twice in the opening contest.
