Baseball Halves Another Doubleheader with D'Youville

Penmen walk off in 10th inning of game one

When and Where: March 1, 2026 — Aberdeen, Md. (Ripken Experience)
Game 1 Score: Southern New Hampshire University 9, D'Youville University 8 (10 innings)
Game 2 Score: D'Youville University 5, Southern New Hampshire University 4
Records: SNHU 5-3, DU 4-4

Senior Jake Pisano (Hamden, Conn.) went 4-for-8 with a pair of RBI, including a game-tying triple in the ninth inning of game one, and junior Jack Davis (LaGrangeville, N.Y.) tossed three shutout innings in the opener, as the Southern New Hampshire University baseball team split a doubleheader with D'Youville University on Sunday at the Ripken Experience in Aberdeen, Md. The Penmen walked off, 9-8, in 10 innings in game one, while the Saints squeaked out a 5-4 victory in game two.

GAME 1 HIGHLIGHTS
  • Southern New Hampshire built a 4-0 lead with two runs in both the first and second innings, but, D'Youville scored six unanswered runs in the fifth and seventh frames to take a two-run lead.
  • The Saints were still ahead, 8-5, in the eighth when SNHU pushed two across, highlighted by an RBI single from senior Kyle Lavigne (Bedford, N.H.).
  • The Penmen had their final chance in the ninth. With two outs and the bases empty, senior Dakota Britt (Rockwall, Texas) reached on an infield single, stole second and scored the tying run on Pisano's triple to right.
  • SNHU won it in the 10th when junior Joel Valera (Boston, Mass.) led off with a pinch-hit single to left and moved into scoring position on a walk. Freshman Ryan Lush (Woburn, Mass.) pinch ran for Valera before going to third on a hit by pitch and coming home on a bases-loaded walk to junior Casey Cumiskey (Milltown, N.J.).
  • Lavigne (RBI, walk), Britt (run, two walks) and Cumiskey (RBI, two runs, walk) were all 1-for-3.
  • Pisano (RBI, run, walk), Graduate student Marc Cisco (Long Island City, N.Y.; RBI, two runs, walk) and junior Brody Keneston (Ballston Spa, N.Y.; RBI, run) finished 1-for-4.
  • Freshman Andre Arthur (Nassau, Bahamas) was 0-for-3 with a walk, but drove in a pair of runs.
  • Freshman Zak Whitney (Keene, N.H.) worked the first five innings, allowing three runs on four hits, while striking out five and walking five.
  • Davis (1-0) earned the win by allowing just two runs over three scoreless frames, striking out six and walking one.
GAME 2 HIGHLIGHTS
  • SNHU plated a pair in the first, before D'Youville tied it with two in the top half of the second.
  • The Penmen went back in front, 3-2, in the third when senior JR Bozek (Danville, N.H.) reached on an error, but the Saints scored single runs in the fourth and fifth to go up, 4-3.
  • Pisano's RBI single to center in the fifth tied the game, 4-4, and it would stay like that into the ninth when D'Youville moved ahead on a bases-loaded walk.
  • The Penmen would go in order in the bottom half.
  • Pisano went 3-for-4 with an RBI.
  • Britt was 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored.
  • Junior Jacob Albert (Pelham, N.H.) finished 2-for-4.
  • Redshirt-junior Zachary Brassill (No. Hampton, N.H.) relinquished four runs – three earned – on four hits over four innings, striking out two and walking four.
  • Graduate student Noah Wachter (Concord, N.H.) was the tough-luck loser in relief, giving up just the one run on two hits, while punching out five and issuing a pair of walks over five innings.
NOTES
  • SNHU has won five of its last seven, with both losses coming by a single run.
  • Britt was 2-for-6 with a pair of walks, two runs and an RBI. He is now 20-for-31 (.645) through eight games with 14 RBI and 13 runs scored.  
  • Pisano is hitting .500 (16-for-32) with eight extra-base hits, a team-leading 16 RBI and 10 runs scored.
  • Davis lowers his ERA to 2.25, as he has allowed two earned runs over eight innings, striking out 10.
  • The Penmen have scored 78 runs through the first eight games of the season and are hitting .300 as a team.
  • After splitting a pair of weekend doubleheaders, the all-time series is now tied, 2-2.
