Ruder delivered a dominating performance on Saturday, as three-time defending NEC champion Central Connecticut State downed Wagner, 6-0, in Staten Island. Ruder tossed a nine-inning complete game shutout, allowing just three singles. Ruder, who faced just 31 batters, struck out two, walked just one and did not allow a Wagner player to reach third base. Over his last two outings, the Middletown, CT native has yielded only one earned run in 17 innings. He is now 2-1 on the season (8-1 in his career), and his 2.57 earned run average ranks him fifth in the NEC.
