- Southern New Hampshire jumped on Adelphi with two in the first when Burgos led off with a base hit and sophomore Nater Wachter (Concord, N.H.) followed two batters later with a home run to right-center.
- The score stayed that way until Adelphi scraped across a run on a two-out infield single to make it 2-1 in the seventh.
- The Penmen answered the run in the home half when junior Jake Pisano (Hamden, Conn.) reached on an RBI fielder's choice.
- SNHU collected some breathing room in the eighth, taking advantage of a pair of Panther errors to score three runs and widen the gap to 6-1.

NOTES
- Southern New Hampshire has won 11 of its last 12, including four straight.
- The Penmen pick up a game on first-place Franklin Pierce University and now sit one-and-a-half games back in the NE10 Northeast Division. SNHU can gain another half-game with a win Tuesday against the University of New Haven, before the Penmen end the regular-season with three at home against FPU.
- SNHU leads the all-time series, 17-12. The teams had alternated wins over the previous five meetings and split the previous eight, but the Penmen have now won four of the last six. SNHU has also captured nine-in-a-row at Penmen Field, though this was the first meeting there since the NE10 Championship title game May 21, 2021.
- Wachter's 13th home run of the season tied him for the team lead with Marshall. He now has 28 in his two-year career, placing him third in the program's all-time record book. He and Marshall are tied for fifth on the single-season home run list.
- Risedorf's long-ball was his fourth of the year and eighth of his career.
- Burgos has a season-long eight-game hitting streak, during which he is 15-for-31 (.484) with five home runs, 13 RBI and 14 runs scored.
- Colon has a hit in 36 of his 40 games this year, including 15 of his last 16, and 12 straight.
UP NEXT
- The Penmen return to action Tuesday (April 29) at 3 p.m. when they play host to the University of New Haven in a make-up of the rained-out, seven-inning game from April 15 at Penmen Field.
