Henrie homers, drives in four in game-two win

Game 1: Saint Anselm College 11, #12 Southern New Hampshire University 8
Game 2:  #12 Southern New Hampshire University 5, Saint Anselm College 3
Records: SNHU 19-7 (6-2 NE10), Saint Anselm 13-17 (6-6 NE10) 

(Manchester, N.H.) – Senior Sam Henrie (Middleboro, Mass.) drove in four runs and redshirt-sophomore Brandon White (Simsbury, Conn.) turned in a complete-game effort to lead the 11th-ranked Southern New Hampshire University baseball team to a 5-3, game-two victory Sunday afternoon, as the Penmen split a doubleheader with crosstown-rival Saint Anselm College at Sullivan Park.
 
GAME 1:  Saint Anselm 11-8
  • Saint Anselm jumped out to an early lead with five runs in the home half of the first inning.
  • Redshirt-freshman Dylan O'Sullivan (Manchester, N.H.) put the Penmen on the board with a two-run shot to center in the second.
  • After the Hawks answered back with two more in the bottom of the second, SNHU grabbed one back in the third, before a three-run blast off the bat of redshirt-sophomore Cristian Mercedes (Providence, R.I.) highlighted a four-run fourth that tied the game, 7-7.
  • Two-run homers in the fourth and sixth put Saint Anselm in front for good.
  • Ricky Jimenez (Miami, Fla.) finished 3-for-4 and scored a run.
  • O'Sullivan (2 RBI, 2 runs) and Nick Schwartz (Massapequa, N.Y.; walk, RBI, run) were both 2-for-3.
  • Senior Angus McCloskey (Farmingdale, N.Y.) started and was charged with five runs – four earned – on two hits and five walks, while striking out one, over a third of an inning.
  • Graduate student Josh Roberge (Chelmsford, Mass.) fell to 3-3, allowing two runs on two hits over two innings, walking one and striking out a batter.
GAME 2:  SNHU 5-3
  • Henrie snapped a scoreless deadlock in the top of the third by following Mercedes' leadoff single with a two-run home run to right-center.
  • Henrie doubled the SNHU lead with a two-out, two-run double down the right field line in the fourth.
  • Saint Anselm halved the lead with two in the sixth, but redshirt-junior Alex Kennedy (Braintree, Mass.) came through with an RBI single to right in the seventh to make it 5-2.
  • Mercedes was 2-for-3 and scored a pair of runs.
  • Henrie (4 RBI, run) and Kennedy (RBI) went 2-for-4.
  • White (4-1) gave up three runs – one earned – on three hits, striking out four and walking a pair.
NOTES
  • SNHU is ranked 12th in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Division II Poll and still sits atop the NCBWA East Region Poll.
  • The Penmen, who lead the all-time series with Saint Anselm 58-34,, have won 27 of the last 29 meetings.
  • O'Sullivan's home run was his third of the season and the fifth of his Penmen career. Schwartz' solo shot in the sixth inning of game one was his third long-ball of the season in his first year with SNHU. Henrie's homer was his seventh of the year and 13th in a Penmen uniform.
  • Schwartz extended his hitting streak to 14 games and has hit safely in 19 of his last 20, as well as 21 of 24 for the entire season.
  • Mercedes has hit safely in eight of his last nine games, going 15-for-39 (.385) with nine RBI and 11 runs during that stretch
  • The win earned SNHU two points in the Queen City Cup standings, with the Penmen now leading, 18-12.
UP NEXT
  • SNHU is back at it Wednesday (April 13) when it takes on St. Thomas Aquinas College at 3:30 p.m.
