Following Manhattan College’s thrilling comeback victoryover cross-Bronx rival Fordham University yesterday in Van Cortlandt Park, Jaspers coach Jim Duffy summed up the 6-5 win in this way: “It was a crazy game,” he said. “There were some wacky plays out there.”

The wackiest play in this crazy game came in the bottom of the ninth inning with one out and Manhattan down 5-4. Jaspers sophomore Yoandry Galan grounded a single to left and then just kept running all the way home after Rams left fielder Stephen McSherry misplayed the ball, allowing it to trickle all the way back to the fence. That tied the game 5-5 and allowed Kyle Murphy to smack the game-winning single one out later after Nick Camastro had ripped a double to get into scoring position.

But that’s the kind of thing that happens to a team now riding a 10-game winning streak. The Jaspers started the season 4-17, but have stormed back and are now just three games under .500. Fordham, meanwhile, dropped to 14-20 on the season.

It was the 108th meeting between the Bronx schools. Yesterday, the Jaspers took a very small step in evening out the all-time series, which is now 76-27-3 in favor of the Rams.

Here’s Coach Duffy and other Manhattan players talking about yesterday’s improbable win:

Fordham heads to Dayton this weekend for a three-game Athlantic-10 series, while Manhattan travels to Rider for a MAAC match-up.
