Of the 14 offensive players to make a plate appearance, 13 scored at least one tally, eight posted multi-hit performances and six drove in two or more runs.
LIU is off to a tough start in 2023, going 3-9 through its first 12 games despite playing a competitive non-conference schedule against Florida International and Miami. However, the Sharks were able to edge the Hurricanes, 4-2, on Feb. 24, behind a nine-inning, two-run homer from UConn transfer Noah Sorensen.
The Sharks are led offensively by Jake Mastillo and JC Navarro, who account for seven of the team's 12 homers and 26 RBIs.
