GAME 1:   SNHU 4 Adelphi 2
  • In the top of the third inning, a two-out single by graduate student Idelson Taveras (Lawrence, R.I.) and a walk drawn by redshirt sophomore Danniel Rivera (New Britain, Conn.) set up Mercedes for a two-run double and a 2-0 lead.
  • Senior Sam Henrie (Middleboro, Mass.) had a pair of hits, including a run producing single in the third.  He also doubled in the eighth, and scored a fourth run for the Penmen on a wild pitch.
  • Adelphi scored its runs in the fourth on a bases-loaded walk and an RBI single by Anthony Cipri.
  • Redshirt sophomore Brandon White (Simsbury, Conn.) started the opener, allowing two runs in 3.1 IP.
  • Sophomore Trevor Anibal (Bedford, N.H.) earned the win with 5.2 innings of scoreless relief.  He allowed two hits, walking one, and striking out eight.
GAME 2:  Adelphi 3 SNHU 2
  • Cipri homered in the bottom of the fifth inning to give the Panthers a 1-0 lead against SNHU starter, senior Angus McCloskey (Farmingdale, N.Y.).
