WEEK 8 STATS: 1 start, 0.00 ERA, 7.0 IP, 0 R, 4 H, 2 BB, 0.86 WHIP
Mattison improved his record to 4-1 by logging his longest outing of the season during Bryant’s 13-0 victory over Fairleigh Dickinson. The 6-foot-4 sophomore spun 7.0 shutout innings one day after FDU became only the second team this season to post a double-digit run total against the Bulldogs. Mattison limited the Knights to four hits, all of which were singles. He issued two bases on balls and registered a pair of strikeouts. The Empire State product held FDU hitless during five of seven frames, including a trio of 1-2-3 innings. He retired the last nine batters he faced prior to handing a 13-0 lead over to the bullpen. Mattison started his day by twirling a 1-2-3 first inning before encountering a few minor bumps during the second and third frames. The second-year Bulldog surrendered two singles in the second followed by two more base hits in the third, but he worked out of both jams by inducing inning-ending groundouts.
