STANDOUT PERFORMERS KEY MOMENTS
  • Trumpour stranded five Felician runners over the first two innings to keep the game scoreless.
  • SNHU exploded for five runs on five hits in the top of the fifth inning.  Sophomore Frankie DeMaro (Newburgh, N.Y.) walked and Kienzle bunted him to second.  A single by graduate student Luca Giallongo (Mt. Shasta, Calif.) made it 1-0.
  • Harry Vargas Segura followed with a home run.
  • A single by Wouters and a double by sophomore Kyle Lavigne (Bedford, N.H.) put runners at second and third.  A sacrifice fly by Jake Pisano (Hamden, Conn) added another run, and senior Jorge Burgos (Santo Domingo, D.R.) singled to make it 5-0.
  • The Penmen chased Felician starter Mike Caldon with a pair of solo homers in the top of the sixth by Wachter and Kienzle for a 7-0 lead.
  • Trumpour left after six innings with sophomore Connor Jensen (Shelton, Conn.) coming on in relief. 
  • After Felician scored a run in the seventh, SNHU went up 10-1 in the top of the eighth inning on an RBI force out by Giallongo and a double-run by Wouters.
  • Felician scored a pair of runs in the ninth with graduate student Zachary Gitschier (Lowell, Mass.) recording the final out in relief.
