MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - The Southern Connecticut State University baseball team lost to St. Thomas, 8-1, in a non-conference matchup in Miami Gardens, Fla. With the loss, the Owls drop to 5-9 on the season while St. Thomas improves to 22-7. 

Connor Redahan (Greenwich, Conn.) was 1-for-4 with RBI while Anthony Zambito (Ridgewood, N.J.) scored the Owls' only run. Jim Palmer (Milford, Conn.), John Spoto (Stamford, Conn.), Trevor Whalen (Rocky Hill, Conn.) and Nick Lamberti (East Haven, Conn.) also had hits for the Owls.  

HOW IT HAPPENED 

• St. Thomas got on the board first with a run in the bottom of the first inning when a throwing area led to a runner moving into scoring position, and then scoring an unearned run. 
• Southern tied the game in the third when Zambito walked and then stole second base before Redahan singled to drive him home and tie the game at 1-1. 
• St. Thomas responded in the bottom half of the inning when a pair of doubles wrapped around a single plated three runs to give the Bobcats a 4-1 lead.  
• St. Thomas manufactured a run in the fourth, and three more in the eighth, to jump out to a seven-run lead at 8-1.  

NOTES 

• Redahan's RBI single in the third inning gives him a team-best 13-game hitting streak, tied for the longest since Kyle Hart in 2017.  
• Spoto has now hit in four-straight games while Lamberti has reached base safely in six-consecutive games.  
• Zambito's run scored was his team-leading 16th of the season.
