In Sunday's win, the Yellowjackets pounded out 12 hits, including seven extra base hits and two home runs, finishing with a tournament high five homers.
 
Junior Nolan Schultz was 2-3 against NYU, including his 2nd home run of the season, 3 RBI and a run scored.  Senior Sam Slutsky went 2-4 at the plate with 2 runs, 2 RBI and a homer.  Junior Dan Warren added a 2-3 day with a double, triple, RBI and two runs.  Sophomore Will Conroy chipped in two hits, two RBI and a triple.
 
On the mound, Rochester senior Josh Schulman tossed a 7 inning shutout, the first of his career, allowing just five hits, one walk while striking out a career best seven NYU hitters.
 
Schultz provided the first two runs of the game for the Yellowjackets.  In the bottom of the 1st, he reached on an infield single, driving in teammate Matt Todd who led off the inning getting hit by a pitch.  In the 3rd inning, a Schultz sac fly kickstarted a seven run inning in which UR sent 11 batters to the plate.
 
Also in the 3rd, Brian Munoz and Warren added RBI doubles while Jake Meyerson plated two with his two base hit.  Conroy then hit his triple, scoring Warren and eventually scampered home on an NYU error for the seven run frame.
 
Conroy picked up his 2nd RBI of the game in the fifth, scoring Warren on a single to left field.  UR's final three runs came in the sixth when Slutsky hit a 2-run homer to right.  Schultz then made it back-to-back jacks with a bomb to right.
 
The Violets only threatened twice by getting two runners on base.  In the 3rd, Schulman sat down Michael Vokulich with a strikeout and in the seventh he induced a game ending 4-6-3 double play from Chase Denison.
