When and Where: March 30, 2022 – Hooksett, N.H. (Penmen Field)
Score:  #11 Southern New Hampshire University 10, Saint Anselm College 5
Records: SNHU 15-4 (4-0 NE10), Saint Anselm 8-14 (1-3 NE10)
(Hooksett, N.H.) –  Redshirt sophomore Cristian Mercedes (Providence, R.I.) and senior Dakota Mulcay (Goffstown, N.H.) each hit home runs and drove in three runs as #11 SNHU baseball won 10-5 over Saint Anselm College in non-conference action Wednesday at Penmen Field.
 
HIGHLIGHTS
  • Mercedes - 3 hits, home run, 3 RBI
  • Mulcay - 3 hits, two doubles, home run, 3 RBI
  • Redshirt sophomore Michael LaRocca (Vero Beach, Fla.) - 2 RBI
  • Senior Sam Henrie (Middleboro, Mass.)-  2-for-4
  • Redshirt sophomore Griffin Gilbert (Concord, N.H.) - earns win with 1.2 innings scoreless relief
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Penmen took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning.  Mercedes singled, advancing to third on a single by Henrie.  LaRocca's sacrifice fly produced the game's first run.
  • SNHU added a pair in the third inning to take a 3-2 lead.  LaRocca drove in a run with a single.
  • Mercedes and Mulcay both homered in the fifth, and the Penmen added four more runs in the sixth inning.
  • The Hawks made some noise in the top of the ninth, cutting the SNHU lead to 10-5 on a three-run homer by Brady Doran.
  • Redshirt junior George Welch (Derry, N.H.) drew the starting assignment, and worked three scoreless innings before being lifted in the fourth after a two-run double by Saint Anselm DH Nolan Elmore.  Jared Reminder (0-1) took the loss for the Hawks.
  • Gilbert, redshirt sophomore Nick Assad (Franklin, Mass.), graduate student Taylor Lepard (Toronto, Ontario), and freshman Frankie Sanchez (Kendall Park, N.J.) all worked in relief.  Lepard struck out the side in a perfect eighth inning in relief.    The staff combined for 12 strikeouts.
NOTES
  • Mercedes hit his third home run of the season.  Mulcay's homer was the 29th of his career (most all-time at SNHU), but just his first of the season.
  • Redshirt sophomore Nick Schwartz (Massapequa, N.Y.) had a single to extend his hit streak to seven games.
  • The Penmen extend its win streak against Saint Anselm College to 25 games.  SNHU leads the all-time series 56-32.
