\n\tReentering conference play on a mission were the Green and White, poised to continue making some noise following the commanding Siena series win nearly one week ago.
\n\tThe Green and White opened the game with a one-out single from Guriyandel Salva<\/a>, before Vincent Samuel<\/a> worked a walk on the next Jasper at-bat.
\n\tWith the Broncs threatening and runners in scoring position, starting pitcher Jackson Klein<\/a> forced the Broncs to ground into a double-play and surrender one run in the inning and avoid any further trouble.
\n\tIn the sixth inning, the Jaspers crossed the plate after Justin Best<\/a> drove home Vincent Samuel<\/a> off a base knock to right field and cut the Broncs’ lead to three.
\n\tTwo innings later, Manhattan worked itself across the plate for a second time, behind the likes of Andreaus Lewis’<\/a> double to left field, and Trevor Hansen<\/a> driving Hunter Sute<\/a> home off a sacrifice fly.
<\/p>\n
\n\tOutfielder Justin Best<\/a> posted a perfect 4-for-4 afternoon with one RBI.
\n\tInfielder Vincent Samuel<\/a> went 1-for-2, worked a pair of walks, and crossed the plate once.
\n\tCatcher Andreaus Lewis<\/a> continued his powerful hitting from the plate, with another 3-for-4 day, which included a double.
\n\tStarting pitcher Jackson Klein<\/a> logged 4.2 innings of work, surrendered three earned runs, and tossed 77 pitches in the effort.
\n\tRelief pitcher Landon Kuntzelman<\/a> struck out two in 1.1 innings of work and threw 13 total pitches.
