The junior outfielder, who drove in four runs during the Pioneers’ two wins, hit .500 (6-for-12) and slugged .833 for the series. Capozziello went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, one RBI and one run scored in Friday’s opener, a 6-2 victory for SHU. His sixth-inning triple plated the Pioneers’ fifth run. On Saturday, the 5-foot-9 speedster was responsible for driving in three of the team’s four runs, including the game winner in extra innings. With the score deadlocked at 1-1 in the bottom of the fifth, Capozziello connected on a two-out, two-run double to left field. The Nutmeg State product came up with runners on the corners and one out in the 10th-inning of a tied game and lifted a walkoff sacrifice fly to right field. Capozziello logged two hits in the series finale and his second-inning, one-out double was the game’s lone extra-base hit.
