Kris Bryant led the Toreros to a 2-1 victory over Seton Hall

Logan Davis got things started with a single to left field.

The Pirates then managed to cut the lead in half in the top of the eighth inning. The SHU run came on a Mike Genovese RBI single right field, which scored Zach Granite, who has singled, move the score to 2-1.
Dylan Covey then came on and shut down the Pirates offense, and any hope of a rally, as he picked up his first career save, allowing no runs on two hits in 1.1 innings of work. Max MacNabb (1-2) was credited with the win, as he allowed one run on three hits, while striking out six in 3.1 innings of work. SHU's Anthony Elia (0-2) was saddled with the loss for the Pirates, as he allowed one run on one hit n 0.0 innings of work.
Offensively for the Toreros, Bryant led the way, as he went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI.
