Brodsky recorded eight hits, including his first career grand slam, during the Knights’ three-game sweep of NEC rival Mount St. Mary’s. The Florida-born freshman kick-started a pair of multi-run innings during Friday’s series opener, a 14-8 triumph over the Mount. Brodsky doubled leading off the third inning and eventually came around to score the first of five FDU runs in the frame. With FDU looking to pad its 9-8 lead, Brodsky’s bunt single led off a five-run eighth inning. Highlighted by a walk-off single to centerfield, the first-year Knight went 5-for-5 with five RBI in the middle game of the weekend series. Brodsky’s first clutch hit of the day came with two outs in the fourth frame in the form of a grand slam to center. He struck again with two outs in the ninth inning of a 10-10 game, connecting on the game-winning single. Brodsky opened the scoring for FDU in the series finale, sending a RBI single to right field to start a seven-run barrage.
