SMITHFIELD, R.I. - The College of Saint Rose baseball team swept Southern New Hampshire University in a Northeast-10 doubleheader by scores of 4-0 and 4-1 at Bryant University Saturday.  The games were scheduled to be played at SNHU but moved to Bryant due to unplayable field conditions in Manchester.  The Golden Knights improve to 5-13 and 3-0 in NE-10 play while the Penmen are 2-8 and 0-2 in the league.

In game one, Saint Rose broke open a scoreless game with two runs in the top of the seventh inning and scored two more times in the top of the ninth.  Grant Smith hit a two run single in the seventh, while Jake Perez was 3-4 with two runs scored.  Brett Weber and Casey Deuel each had two hits for the Golden Knights, while Ryan Thompson (Westford, MA) had two of SNHU's four hits in the opener.

Nick DeMidio went the distance to pick up the win, giving up four hits while striking out six and walking one.  Ryan Quinn (Lebanon, CT) went 8 2/3 for SNHU, scattering 10 hits and fanning five.

In game two, Saint Rose took a 1-0 lead in the first when Ryan Price hit a one-out double and later scored on an error.  The Golden Knights made it 2-0 in the third Derek Marshall singled to score Deuel, who led off the inning by being hit.  The Penmen got a run back in the bottom of the fifth when Jeff Giannino's (Beverly, MA) broken-bat single scored Eric Pelletier (Beverly, MA).  The Penmen would load the bases in the bottom of the sixth and eighth innings but came away empty handed both times.  Saint Rose plated its final two runs in the top of the eighth on a two-run double by Ryan Ross.

Price finished with two hits in the nightcap for the Golden Knights.  Koby Thibault (Salisbury, MA) and Scott Strong (Naperville, IL) each had three hits for the Penmen while Bill Murray (Canton, MA) added two hits.

Jake Kozar struck out 11 and scattered seven hits to earn the win for Saint Rose.  Doug Dulin pitched a scoreless ninth to earn the save.  Mike Evans (Seabrook, NH) pitched the first four innings for SNHU and took the loss, allowing four hits before leaving with an injury.
