With two outs in the inning, Kenny Hayden reached safely on an error by Manhattan’s shortstop, which allowed Ryan Hernandez to score from third, bringing the final score to 3-2in favor of the Great Danes.

“Nothing has been easy for us. I’m really proud of the way the guys hung in there,” UAlbany coach John Mueller said. “I know both teams were a little shorthanded with playing multiple games this week. It was a really well pitched game to be honest.

“I thought Manhattan did a great job keeping us offbalance with the guys they brought in. I’m really happy with the way our guys threw the ball today. One earned run in nine innings is a testament to that. Offensively we have to keep working, but I think one of these weekends we’re going to erupt and we hope that it’s this weekend when Stony Brook rolls in.” UAlbany will host a threegame series against Stony Brook this weekend. Due to inclement weather, the series has been moved to Friday/Saturday from Saturday/Sunday.
