STANDOUT PERFORMERS
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Adelphi wasted no time getting on the board against junior Austin Trumpour (Jensen Beach, Fla.), scoring three runs in the top of the first inning, highlighted by a two-run home run to left off the bat of Joe Pellegrino. After a strike-three wild pitch extended the inning, a Jack Wishner run-scoring single made it 3-0.
- From there, Trumpour settled down, holding Adelphi scoreless over the next four innings to keep the Penmen within striking distance.
- Unfortunately, SNHU did not get any offense rolling before the Panthers struck for three more in the sixth against the Penmen bullpen on a two-out, bases-loaded error on a ground ball that would have ended the inning.
- SNHU broke through in the bottom of the sixth with an unearned run, as DeMaro delivered a two-out, bases-loaded, infield single, but the Penmen would leave them full.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
- Juniors Jake Risedorf (Barkhamsted, Conn.) and Kyle Lavigne (Bedford, N.H.) both finished 0-for-2 with a pair of walks.
- Trumpour (1-1) allowed three runs on five hits over five innings, while striking out six and walking a batter.
- Freshman Angel Baez (Leominster, Mass.) was charged with three runs – all unearned – on three walks, while punching out five, over four innings of work.
- SNHU struck out 14 times in the game, the most since it fanned 14 times against Post University on Feb. 17, 2023.
NOTES
