D'Ambrosia set a school record and tied the Centennial Conference mark by striking out 21 batters while pitching a three-hit shutout in the Mules' 5-0 win against Lesley. He broke the previous school mark of 17, set 55 years ago, and set the CC record for whiffs by a right-hander in a game. D'Ambrosia allowed only five baserunners and struck out the side in the third, sixth, eighth and ninth, tying another school record with six consecutive Ks. He also became Muhlenberg's all-time strikeout leader when he fanned his seventh batter in the third inning, finishing the game with a career total of 218.
