HOW IT HAPPENED

• Southern New Hampshire took advantage of a pair of errors to hang five runs on the scoreboard in the first inning, including four unearned. RBI singles from Pisano and Wouters, as well as a run-scoring double down the left field line by Lavigne, did the bulk of the damage.
• SNHU added a pair in the second, with Risedorf smacking a solo shot to right, before Vargas Segura tripled to the gap in right-center and scored on Pisano's sacrifice fly to left.
• Saint Anselm made it on the board in the sixth when it capitalized on an error with a three-run homer to left-center off the bat of Ben Rose.
• The Penmen grabbed a couple of them back in the home half on a two-run single through the left side by Pisano.
• SNHU poured it on with four more in the ninth, as two came home on a single through the left side by senior Jorge Burgos (Santo Domingo, D.R.) and two more on an opposite-field homer to right-center off the bat of Wachter.

INSIDE THE BOX

• Senior Anderson Moreno (Bronx, N.Y.; two runs, double, walk) and freshman Joel Valera (Boston, Mass.) were both 1-for-4.
• Burgos finished 1-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored.

NOTES

• The win is the first of the year for DeMaro, despite the fact he ranks fourth in the NE10 with a 1.57 earned-run average (ERA). DeMaro has not allowed more than two earned runs in any of his six starts this season. However, the Penmen offense scored an average of 5.2 runs per contest in his first five starts, before exploding for 13 Tuesday, in addition to the bullpen allowing 17 earned runs in 16-and-two-thirds innings (9.18 ERA) after he left those outings.
• Risedorf's home run is his second of the year and fourth of his career, while Wachter's is the sixth of his rookie campaign.
• Vargas Segura, who is hitting .375, has reached safely in 28 consecutive games and has a hit in six straight. He has 42 hits and 26 walks with a .500 OBP. Vargas Segura leads the league in hits, runs (40) and stolen bases (23), while ranking second in walks, fourth in OBP, and fifth in home runs (5) and RBI (29).
• Wouters has three multi-hit performances in his last four games, including back-to-back three-hit contests.
• Moreno has a hit in four of his last five games, including three straight, and has scored seven runs over that five-game span.
