HOW IT HAPPENED
  • American International went ahead, 1-0, in the bottom of the first when Yeudy Ramirez was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning, scampered to third on an errant throw on a pick-off attempt and scored on a sacrifice fly by Josh Frometa.
  • Southern New Hampshire tied it with a two-out rally in the third, with Marshall singling to center, junior Jake Pisano (Hamden, Conn.) being hit by a pitch and Colon drawing a walk to load the bases. Lavigne followed with an RBI base knock to even the score, 1-1.
  • SNHU took the lead in the fifth when Pisano hit a one-out double to left-center and scored when Colon poked a single through the left side.
  • AIC would only manage two hits the rest of the way.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Pisano (run, double), junior Jake Risedorf (Barkhamsted, Conn.; walk) and sophomore Joel Valera (Boston, Mass.) were all 1-for-4.
  • Graduate student Jorge Burgos (Santo Domingo, D.R.) finished 1-for-5 with a double.
