Baseball: Marlboro’s Andrew Nardi Commits to Radford

Marlboro senior left-hander Andrew Nardi, who had a 1.41 ERA as a junior this spring, verbally committed to Radford University on Thursday, according to Mustangs coach Jim Ferraro.

The Mustangs' ace finished 4-2 with 59 strikeouts in 59 2/3 innings for a Marlboro team that reached the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group IV semifinals. He allowed 12 earned runs and 46 hits while walking 23 for a WHIP of 1.16 and was selected to the Class A North All-Division team by the coaches.

Radford, which is a Division I program in Radford, Virginia, finished 33-23 this spring, fourth in the Big South Conference. Nardi joins Wall catcher Dan Wondrack (College of Charleston), Christian Brothers Academy outfielder Will Morgan (Old Dominion), Toms River East shortstop Jon Meola (Virginia), Colts Neck infielder Tyler Kapuscinski (Marist) and Rumson pitcher/outfielder Morgan Maguire (Old Dominion) among the Division I verbal commits from the Shore Conference Class of 2015 so far.
