Shirley, N.Y.-The University of Bridgeport baseball team raced out to a 3-0 lead after four innings, but the Dowling College Golden Lions roared back to score the next 12 runs to notch a 12-3 East Coast Conference win over the Purple Knights in a game that was played on DC's home field with UB serving as the home side. Bridgeport is now 22-18-1 overall and 11-9 in the ECC. Dowling moves to 22-21 overall and 12-9 in conference play.
