Livonia 7 - Aquinas 5
May 30, 2011
The Li'l Irish traveled to Livonia to battle the Bulldogs. The AQ bats tried to send an early message, scoring three times in their first at bat. C.J. Von Bargen led off the game with a single, and Chris Bostick walked. With runners on 2nd and 3rd, Taylor Byrne singled in both runs. Max DeNora followed with a single, and Steve Trubia ended the scoring with an RBI single. Livonia's aggressive hitting and baserunning resulted in them scoring runs in the first 4 innings, and taking a 5-3 lead. In the 5th, AQ tied the score as Joe Molisani singled, and Bostick was hit by a pitch. Sean Hare scored one run on a sacrifice fly, and Trubia singled home the tying run. Livonia's hitters and opportunistic baserunners immediately responded with two runs in the fifth to take a 7-5 lead. Aquinas loaded the bases in the 6th inning, but could not get that timely hit to tie the score.
Taylor Byrne 3 for 3 (2B, 2 RBIs); Steve Trubia 2 for 4 (2 RBIs); C.J. Von Bargen 2 for 4; Chris Bostick 1 for 2 (2B); Joe Molisani 1 for 3; Max DeNora 1 for 4

This was a rematch from the 2010 game, when Albion beat Aquinas 2-1. Trubia threw 98 pitches, had 13 strikeouts, and allowed only 2 walks.
Aquinas managed only 5 hits, but made them all count. In the 3rd inning, Trubia walked and went to second on a wild pitch. He scored on a double by Joe Molisani. Eric Terhaar also doubled to score Molisani.
With the score 2-0, AQ added two more runs in the 5th. Terhaar singled, stole second, and scored on a single to deep short by Chris Bostick (who took second on a wild throw). Bostick stole 3rd, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Sean Hare.

Greece Arcadia 11 - Aquinas 7
April 8, 2011
With Aquinas' field still a bit soggy from the winter thaw, the team forfeited a home game and played instead at Greece Arcadia. The game started well, as Aquinas scored 4 times in their first at bat. With one out, C.J. Von Bargen lined a single to right, followed by a Chris Bostick walk. Sean Hare's infield single loaded the bases. Taylor Byrne's ground outscored the first run. Max DeNora reached first on a throwing error, with 2 more runs scoring. The final run scored when Joe Molisani reached on an error as well.
Aquinas then gave up 11 straight runs before it scored again in the 6th inning. Steve Trubia and Amado Garcia each signled, and scored on singles by Nick Tarana and Tom Mastrodonato. Hare's sacrifice fly finished the scoring.
Even though AQ's bats had a 4 inning lull (where they managed only one misplayed pop-up single), they still managed to score 7 runs on 10 hits. The story of the game was pitching, as Aquinas allowed 9 walks and 2 HBPs.
Chris Bostick 2 for 3 (2B); Steve Trubia 2 for 4; Nick Tarana 2 for 4 (RBI); Amado Garcia 1 for 1; Tom Mastrodonato 1 for 1 (RBI); C.J. Von Bargen 1 for 2; Sean Hare 1 for 3 (RBI)
Aquinas 8 - St. Joseph's (Buffalo) 2
April 3, 2011
Aquinas began the 2011 baseball campaign just like the past several, with a road trip to St. Joseph's in Buffalo. It was an extremely windy day to open the season on St. Joe's beautiful turf field. AQ started the game by scoring 2 in the 1st inning - Eric Terhaar led off the game (and season) with a walk, and scored on Chris Bostick's HR to deep center. With the scored tied at 2-2, Aquinas scored two more in the 3rd inning. C.J. Von Bargen walked, and was forced out by Bostick's grounder to 2B. Sean Hare followed with a two run shot to right, his 1st of the season. In the 4th, AQ manufactured a run when Steve Trubia singled, was sacrificed to second by Joe Molisani, went to third on a passed ball, and scored on a wild pitch. Aquinas scored in the 5th on a long double by Max DeNora, a single by Trubia and a RBI groundout by Molisani. With the score 6-2, AQ added a run in the 6th when Terhaar singled, Von Bargen and Bostick walked, and a wild pitch brought home Terhaar. The final run came in the 7th, when Clayton Stanley and Tommy Mastrodonato walked, and were followed by an RBI double off the bat of Nick Tarana.
Trubia started and pitched 4 innings, allowing 2 hits and striking out 5. Mastrodonato relieved and pitched 3 scoreless innings, allowing 1 hit and striking out 3.
