NOTES

• SNHU leads the all-time series with the Greyhounds, 48-24-2. The Penmen have won nine of the last 10, including three straight. SNHU has also captured 12 of 14 in Worcester since the start of the 2012 season.
• The Penmen continue to produce at the plate, having scored 274 runs in 29 games (9.4).
• The 31 runs in game one are the most for SNHU since Feb. 22, 2020 when it posted a 33-5 victory in the first game of a doubleheader with Dominican (N.Y.) University. The 26 hits are the most in a game since at least 2009, but are likely a single-game record.
• Pisano's home run is his fourth in his first season with the Penmen, while Schwartz' is his fifth of the year and the 14th of his career. Caraher's game-two long-ball was his third of the year and 11th with the Penmen.

• Caraher has hit safely in six of seven, while Vargas Segura and Mercedes each have a hit in five of their last six.
• Moreno extended his hitting streak to seven games in the opener, before having it halted in the nightcap.
• Over his last two starts, Praml is 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA, allowing three runs on 12 hits over 15 innings, while striking out 14 and walking two.
• Roberge extends his scoreless streak to 11-and-two-thirds innings. During that stretch he has allowed just two hits, while striking out 22 and walking three.
