Romano received three starts against first-place Bryant and he rewarded his skipper with a pair of multi-hit games to go along with a .667 on-base percentage. Safely hitting his way onto base in each of the three contests, Romano went 5-for-8 (.625) at the plate with two doubles, one walk, one run, one RBI and one stolen base. The rookie third baseman logged two hits in the series opener. After singling and stealing second base in the fourth frame, Romano connected on a two-out RBI single in the fifth as FDU built a 6-0 advantage before falling, 8-7. He set the table for FDU’s four-run third inning in Game 2 of the series, smacking a lead-off double down the leftfield line. Romano went 2-for-2 against Bryant’s rookie right-hander James Karinchak, who had allowed only two earned runs over his first four NEC starts. The FDU freshman closed out the series with one double and one walk in the finale.
