HOW IT HAPPENED

• Southern New Hampshire would move out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first, with an RBI single to center from sophomore Jake Risedorf (Barkhamsted, Conn.) bringing in the first run.
• Roldan made it 3-0 in the second with a sacrifice fly to left.
• The Penmen then exploded for seven in the third, as they sent 12 men to the plate. A hit batter and walk with the bases packed plated the first two runs, before a two-run single from Watcher, an RBI single off the bat of Wouters and an RBI double by Roldan did the bulk of the damage in running the score to 10-0.
• Bentley finally pushed one across in the fourth against Brassill, but a two-run homer from Wouters in the sixth stretched the Penmen lead to 12-1.
• The Falcons scored one in the sixth and two in the seventh to make it a 12-4 game.
• Burgos hit a solo shot to right in the eighth to nudge the SNHU advantage to 13-4.
• Bentley plated another in the eighth and struck three times in the ninth to tight things up a bit.
