HOW IT HAPPENED – GAME ONE

• DeMaro gave Southern New Hampshire a 1-0 lead in the top of the second with an RBI single up the middle.
• A run-scoring base knock from Pisano brought in the first of two runs in the fifth to extend the SNHU lead to 3-0.
• After the Penmen made it 5-0 in the seventh, Franklin Pierce pushed a pair across in the home half, capitalizing on an error to trim the deficit to 5-2.
• SNHU answered in the eighth, with a two-run double to center by Pisano and a Burgos RBI single pushing the lead to 8-2.
• The Penmen turned it over to the bullpen in the home half, but the Ravens scored three of their own to pull within 8-5. Risedorf, who entered with two on and no one out after senior Griffin Gilbert (Concord, N.H.) went home run-walk-walk to begin the inning, did allow the two inherited runners to score. He fired a perfect ninth, however, to nail down the save.

INSIDE THE BOX – GAME ONE

• Pisano was a perfect 3-for-3 with three RBI, three runs scored, a double and a walk.
• DeMaro finished 3-for-5 with an RBI.
• Burgos went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base.
• Sophomores Dyrenson Wouters (Oranjestad, Aruba; run, steal) and Kyle Lavigne (Bedford, N.H.) were both 1-for-4.
• Risedorf was 1-for-5 with an RBI, run scored, double and a steal.
• Freshman Nater Wachter (Concord, N.H.) finished 0-for-3, but walked, swiped a base and scored a pair of runs.
• Junior Harry Vargas Segura (Bronx, N.Y.) was 0-for-4, but did draw a pair of walks and scored a run.
• Gilbert was charged with three runs on one hit and two walks, as he did not retire any of the three batters he faced.

NOTES

• Southern New Hampshire, receiving votes in the latest National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Division II Poll, has won seven of its last eight.
• SNHU clinches the NE10 Northeast Division for the seventh straight season (no division crown was awarded in 2020) and the eighth time, overall. It will win the division outright with a win Sunday against Franklin Pierce, while the Ravens can earn a share of the title with a victory. The Penmen would have the tiebreaker for the No. 1 seed, however, due to a 2-1 head-to-head record.
• The Penmen had already earned an NE10 Championship first round home game Tuesday, May 7 (3:30 p,m.), but now know they will play host to Assumption University at Penmen Field. SNHU, with a win over the Greyhounds, would host NE10 Championship Weekend on Thursday-Saturday, May 9-11.
• Southern New Hampshire now leads the all-time series with Franklin Pierce, 65-50-1, and has won 25 of the last 29 meetings with the Ravens, including 10 of 11 on the road.
• Wachter had his six-game RBI streak snapped in game one, before collected an RBI in game two. He is tied for the RBI lead in the NE10 with 55 RBI.
• Vargas Segura continues to pace the league with 39 steals, which ties him for the 11th most in a single season in NE10 history.
• Vargas Segura snapped his 10-game hitting streak in game one.
• Over his last three appearances, including two starts, Trumpour is 2-0 with a 0.69 ERA, allowing just eight hit, while striking out 15 and walking two, over 13 innings.

UP NEXT

• The Penmen wrap up the regular season at Franklin Pierce on Saturday (May 4) at 5 p.m.
