ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Lafayette College baseball team defeated Navy, 13-7, Sunday to claim its tenth Patriot League win of the season and win the regular season series with the Midshipmen.  
 
The Leopards was led by senior Dylan Minghini who went 1-for-2 with three runs and a team-leading three RBIs, and junior Pete Ciuffreda who went 3-for-4 with a team-leading four runs and two RBIs. Starting pitcher senior Kyle Subers went 3.2 innings, striking out five while junior Nolan Morr picked up his second win of the season.
 
Lafayette (15-31, 10-11) took the early lead in the top of the first off a two-run home run by Minghini. The Leopards then plated four runs in the top of the third to take a 5-0 lead.
 
Navy (19-25, 10-15 PL) plated two runs of the game in the bottom of the third to pull within three of the Leopards. The Midshipmen then added two more in the bottom of the fourth to pull to the score to within a run, 5-4.  
 
After Lafayette scored in the top of the fifth off a RBI sacrifice fly, Navy hit a two-run home run to send the game into the sixth inning tied 6-6.
 
The Lafayette Nine exploded to retake the lead in the top of the sixth. Freshman Michael Zarrillo led off the inning with a double and two batters later, senior Evan Kiah singled to advance Zarrillo to third. Sophomore Justin Grech then doubled to advance Kiah and score Zarillo. A batter later, Dorighi singled to advance Grech, score Kiah and give Lafayette an 8-6 lead.
