Box Score
Following an uncooperative string of weather in the month of March, the Bronx Community College baseball team was finally able to play a game in front of its home fans, defeating the Tigers of Queensborough Community College by a score of 10-7 Tuesday afternoon in its home-opener. The contest took place at Ohio Field. With the victory, the Broncos improved their record to 3-4 on the 2018 season (1-0 CUNYAC), while the Tigers dipped to 6-3 on the year (0-1 CUNYAC).

For the fifth time in seven games this season, Bronx Community College's offense broke out for six runs or more, and the team is currently averaging 6.28 runs per contest.

The Tigers plated a pair of runs in the top of the first inning off of Broncos starter Alexander Pimentel thanks to two key miscues in the frame. With runners on the corners and two men away, Queensborough's Elvis Torres would reach on an error, allowing two runs to motor home to give the Tigers the early advantage. Bronx Community College would tie the score in the bottom half of the inning when Jordan Volpe drove home two by belting a line drive triple to right center field. With one inning in the books, the game was tied at two apiece.

Queensborough would later plate a run in the top of the second inning – and two more in the top of the third to catapult ahead by a score of 5-2. Bronx Community College would not quit, though. The Broncos trimmed the Tigers' advantage to two runs when Michael Mateo led off the bottom of the third by hitting a mammoth homerun to right field. Later – in the bottom of the fifth – Bronx Community College would break through for four runs (the rally was highlighted by an RBI single by Jeffrey Almanzar) to grab a 7-5 lead.

As the game shifted to the top of the sixth inning, the Tigers would then stage a mini rally, plating a pair of runs to knot the game at seven apiece. In the bottom of the sixth, the Broncos would take the lead for good, scoring three times to jump ahead by a count of 10-7. Ariel Irving Lora and Justin Nunez each were credited with RBI singles in the frame.

Aaron Bonilla Suarez earned the victory in relief for Bronx Community College, as he hurled two and two-thirds scoreless on the afternoon, allowing just three hits (including two infield singles) and walking a batter while striking out five.

The Broncos will return to action on Thursday afternoon, as Bronx Community College will take to the road to battle Nassau Community College. Start-time for that game is scheduled for 4:00pm.
