From University of Rochester Athletics

The University of Rochester got a kickstart to the 2016 season with a strong offensive output in a 12-8 victory over New York University in the opening game of the season and UAA Championship.
 
UR (1-0) got strong production from the top and bottom pairs in the lineup as the Matt Todd, Jake Meyerson, Steve Eychner and Ryan Spurr combined for nine of Rochester's 11 hits, scored seven runs and drove in seven as well.  Eychner went 2-5 on the night with a home run and 4 RBI while Todd was 3-5 with three runs scored.  Meyerson also had three hits and drove in two.

On the mound, sophomore John Ghyzel tossed five innings of one-hit ball, allowing one run while striking out four in earning the win.
 
Junior transfer Pete Carrier got the scoring started for the Yellowjackets in the opening frame singling down the right field line, plating Meyerson and Todd for an early 2-0 lead.
 
In the fourth, Rochester doubled the lead with an RBI groundout from Sam Steele and RBI single from Eychner.
 
UR and the Violets (2-4) traded single runs in the fifth before swapping three runs each in the sixth.  Carrier scampered home on a wild pitch, Eychner provided another RBI on a groundout and Meyerson doubled in Spurr for Rochester's scoring in the sixth.
 
Todd and Meyerson then drove in runs in the eighth and Eychner clobbered a 2-run homer in the ninth to complete the Yellowjacket scoring on the night.  NYU plated four in a ninth inning rally, but came up short in the opener of the UAA Tournament for both teams.
