  • Junior Jake Pisano (Hamden, Conn.) – 4-for-7, 3 R, 2 2B, 2 BB, SB
  • Sophomore Nater Wachter (Concord, N.H.) – 5-for-9, 2 RBI, 3 R, HR, 2B

HOW IT HAPPENED – GAME ONE
  • Bentley put up two runs in the top of the first, capitalizing on a Penmen error.
  • Southern New Hampshire jumped ahead in the fourth with a three-run frame. Risedorf keyed it with a double that rolled to the wall in right-center, before Marshall blasted a two-run shot to left that tied the game. Back-to-back doubles from Pisano and junior Frankie DeMaro (Newburgh, N.Y.) yielded another run that put the Penmen on top, 3-2.
  • The Falcons hung seven in the fifth to jump back in front, 9-3, with a two-run single from Jake Maydak and a three-run home run to center by Stan DeMartinis III doing the bulk of the damage.
  • SNHU answered with a five-spot in the six. Marshall hit another two-run homer to left to start the scoring, before RBI singles from graduate student Jorge Burgos (Santo Domingo, D.R.), senior Jancarlos Colon (Santa Isabel, P.R.) and Risedorf pulled the Penmen within 9-8.
  • The Penmen drew even in the seventh on a sacrifice fly to center by sophomore Evan Kaplo (Bedford, N.H.) that scored Marshall, who was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning.
  • Bentley made SNHU pay for a strike-three passed ball and an error with a two-run single to center by Tommy Bolton that put the Falcons back into the lead at 11-9 in the eighth.
  • The Penmen made it a one-run game in the bottom of the ninth when Pisano drew a leadoff walk and later scored on Kaplo's RBI single to left, but they would strand the tying run.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE – GAME ONE
  • Pisano was a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs scored, two doubles and a walk.
  • Marshall finished 3-for-4 with four RBI, three runs scored and two home runs.

  • Graduate student Cam Varney (Manchester, N.H.) was tagged with the loss, as he was charged with two runs – both unearned – in a third of an inning, striking out one. He fanned the first batter he faced, while the second reached on an error and final batter dropped down a sacrifice bunt.
  • Freshman Angel Baez (Leominster, Mass.) relinquished just one hit in two-thirds of an inning, but it allowed the pair of inherited runners to score.
  • Junior Connor Jensen (Shelton, Conn.) struck out one and hit a batter in a hitless inning of work.
HOW IT HAPPENED – GAME TWO
  • Bentley again drew first blood, scoring on a two-out wild pitch in the third to go up, 1-0.
  • SNHU responded in the home half, as Wachter, who had a two-run home run down the left field line in the first overturned following an umpire conference, made sure to leave no doubt with a solo shot to center that tied the game.
  • Bentley broke it open with a six-run fifth, highlighted by a pair of two-run singles from Brendan Sencaj and Nick Pappas, to make it 7-1.
  • The Penmen inched closer with yet another two-run home run off the bat of Marshall in the fifth that made it 7-3.
  • A Jack Matthews RBI single in the seventh nudged the Bentley lead to 8-3.
  • A two-run home run from DeMartinis highlighted a three-run eighth that widened the Falcon advantage to 11-3.
  • A two-run single from Risedorf and an RBI knock from Wachter in the ninth would make it a five-run game, but the Penmen left a pair on to end it.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE – GAME TWO
  • Wachter (two RBI, two runs, home run) and Risedorf (two RBI, double) were both 3-for-5.
