Flushing, N.Y. – The Queens College Knights baseball team took the fourth and final game of the season series against the Dowling College Golden Lions 10-4. The victory gets QC back to .500 in the ECC with a conference record of 8-8.

The Knights used a three run bottom of the first and a six run third inning to get ahead of the Golden Lions for good.  In the bottom of the first, Queens had runs batted in by Nick LoBello, Tim Francis and CJ Gerdowsky. The bottom of the third was highlighted by a Frank Duffy RBI triple down the right field line. Duffy would score in the next at bat as a result of a wild pitch by Dowling starter Ryan Aloise. Steven Varela singled in two runs during the frame as well. He and Warren Kelly would come around to score on a Kyle DeMeo error at short.  Aloise took the loss for Dowling College, giving up 6 runs (4 ER) in two and one-third innings pitched.

On the mound, Pete Cappiello was solid in his second conference start, recording his third win of the 2013 season. Cappiello threw six and one-third innings, giving up just four runs (3 ER) on six hits. The southpaw struck out two and walked just three.  Jonathan Russell came on in relief of Cappiello, nailing down the win for Queens.
