The Red Storm took game two against UAlbany, 5-4, to secure its first series win of the 2026 season. St. John's capitalized on timely hitting and aggressive baserunning despite being outhit, highlighted by Rob Mansour's two RBIs and a 349-foot solo shot from Will Cowan, the first in Queens this season. Shaun McMillan added an RBI, while Adam Agresti scored twice after drawing two walks. Evan Chaffee allowed three runs over 5.2 innings with five strikeouts, and Evan Hoeckele closed the game with 3.1 strong relief innings and five strikeouts to secure the win.
The Johnnies closed out the weekend with a 4-3 win over the Great Danes for their first home and season series sweep. Adam Agresti powered the offense, going 2-for-3 with a 432-foot two-run homer, while Cristian Bernardini added two hits, an RBI, a run scored, and two stolen bases. McMillan and Mansour each drove in runs for St. John's. Ian Mowad earned the win with five innings on the hill only allowing one run. Dylan Johnson put in 3.1 scoreless innings to secure the team victory and earn a save.
As of Monday, the Red Storm have the longest winning streak in the BIG EAST at three games.
The Johnnies boast a .978 fielding percentage, a mark that ranks second in the conference and 56th nationally. On the mound, the Johnnies' bullpen tops the league with a 1.47 WHIP while ranking in the top 100, limiting opponents to 8.55 hits per nine innings. At the plate, they also lead the BIG EAST in sacrifice bunts with eight.
