- SNHU would leave a runner in scoring position in each of the final five frames, including the eighth inning when it left the bases loaded.

- Freshman Christian Mercedes (Providence, R.I.) went 0-for-3, but walked twice.
NOTES

- In his last three starts, Gomes is 2-1 with a 0.81 ERA, giving up three runs - two earned - on 16 hits, while striking out 24 and walking four, over 22-and-a-third innings.
