  • After Post tied it on a sacrifice fly in the second, an RBI single to left from DeMaro and a Vargas Segura sac fly brought in two during the fourth inning to put SNHU back on top, 3-1.
  • The Penmen nudged the lead to 4-1 when Burgos led off the fifth with a solo bomb to center.
  • The teams swapped runs in the sixth, before a three-run seventh – highlighted by RBI singles from Wouters and Vargas Segura – stretched the SNHU advantage to 8-2.
  • The Eagles tacked on one in the ninth with a solo home run that knocked Lendrum (2-1) from the game.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE – GAME 1
  • Risedorf (two runs, walk, two doubles) and Vargas Segura (two RBI, double) both were 3-for-5.
  • Wouters went 2-for-4 with a pair of walks and an RBI.
  • DeMaro (two RBI, run), Wachter (RBI, run, double, walk), Burgos (RBI, run, home run, walk), Lavigne (run, walk) and sophomore Steven Kienzle (Holbrook, N.Y.; two runs, double, walk) were all 1-for-4.
  • Sophomore Ben Hladun (Ballston Lake, N.Y.) secured the final out against the only batter he faced.
HOW IT HAPPENED – GAME 2
  • It was Post that moved out to the early lead in the bottom of the first, using a two-out single against redshirt-sophomore Zach Brassill (No. Hampton, N.H.) to go up, 1-0. The Eagles scored two more, including one on a two-out error, to expand their lead to 3-0 in the fourth.
  • Southern New Hampshire responded with a four-run fifth, using a bases-loaded walk to Vargas Segura and a wild pitch to push push across two, before a two-run single from sophomore Jake Pisano (Hamden, Conn.) flipped the Penmen into the lead at 4-3.
  • A DeMaro double in the sixth brought home another run that gave SNHU insurance at 5-3.
  • Post would score a pair in the sixth to tie the game, however.
  • After the Penmen went 1-2-3 in the seventh, Post won it in the home half with an RBI single down the left field line.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE – GAME 2
  • DeMaro was 2-for-3 with an RBI, a run scored and a double.
  • Senior Dylan O'Sullivan (Manchester, N.H.) finished 1-for-2.
  • Lavigne (run) and Burgos (walk) both went 1-for-3.
  • Pisano was 1-for-4 with a pair of RBI.

  • Brassill allowed three runs – two earned – on four hits, while punching out seven and walking three, over four innings.

  • Southern New Hampshire has won eight of its last 11 games.
  • SNHU leads the all-time series with Post, 12-2, including 3-1 on the road. The Penmen won 11-in-a-row, including four straight at Post, prior the game-two loss.
