Brooklyn, NY - The 2018 baseball season kicked off in high scoring fashion as Sullivan swept Kingsborough CC (12-0, 17-1) on a cold, blustery day. The Generals pitching came out attacking the strike zone in game one behind Daniel Rodriguez (Yonkers, NY, Riverside) who threw four scoreless innings, allowing a pop up single as the only hit on the Day. Rodriguez (1-0), struck out six and walked three. Freshman RHP/ C Jean Paul Compres (Bronx, NY, William C. Bryant) worked the final inning, picking up two strikeouts around two walks. Offensively the Generals rallied behind Sophomore 1B Joselito Castro (Bronx, NY, DeWitt Clinton) and his first inning bases clearing triple to stake the Generals to a 3-0 lead early. Sophomore Manny Nova (Bronx, NY, All Hallows) added a double, stole 3 bases and scored 3 runs. Freshman 3B  William Ramirez (Orlando, FL, Lake Nona) delivered the big blow on the day with a long 2-run homerun to right center in the midst of a 7-run 5th inning. 
 
In Game two starter and Sophomore RHP Jonathan Vasquez (Bronx, NY, James Monroe) set the tone with a strong two innings, allowing 1 run while striking out three. He was relieved by Sophomore RHP Leonel De la Rosa who tallied 4 strikeouts in his two innings of work. The General bats were cashing in again, forcing a run-rule stoppage after the 5th inning. Freshman RHP Bryant Gomez (Bronx, NY, Kingsbridge International) made his debut in the bottom of the 5th, striking out the side. At the plate Sophomore OF Cain Ruiz (West Hempstead, NY, Valley Stream) knocked out two hits and drove in three while stealing a base. Compres smacked a triple and drove in three and 3B Bryan De Aza (Bronx, NY, Cardinal Hayes) had a RBI double. 

Sullivan stands at 2-0 while Kingsborough drops to 0-6. Up next for Sullivan will be their spring trip that kicks off Friday at Cecil College in North East, MD. First pitch for the DH is set for 12pm.
