Bentley Walks Off in 10th Inning with 3-2 Win Over #16 Baseball

Penmen have five-game winning streak halted

When and Where: March 20, 2026 — Waltham, Mass. (Robert DeFelice Baseball Field)
Score: Bentley University 3, Southern New Hampshire University 2 (10 inn.)
Records: SNHU 12-5 (4-1 NE10), Bentley 12-6 (4-1 NE10)

Graduate student Marc Cisco (Long Island City, N.Y.) drove in the game-tying run in the sixth and then scored the go-ahead run one batter later, but Bentley University eventually walked off with a 3-2 victory in the bottom of the 10th inning against the 16th-ranked Southern New Hampshire University baseball team Friday afternoon at DeFelice Field.

HIGHLIGHTS
  • A solo home run staked Bentley to a 1-0 lead in the fourth, before Southern New Hampshire took the lead with a pair in the sixth. With two outs, junior Brody Keneston (Ballston Spa, N.Y.) drew a walk, stole second and scored to tie the game on Cisco's RBI single. After Cisco moved to second on a wild pitch, he scored the go-ahead run on a base hit up the middle by senior Jake Pisano (Hamden, Conn.).
  • The Falcons tied it in the seventh on an RBI fielder's choice ground out and eventually won it in the 10th on an RBI single that brought home an unearned run.
  • Pisano finished 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI.
  • Cisco was 1-for-2 with a pair of walks, an RBI and a run scored.
  • Freshman Zak Whitney (Keene, N.H.) turned in a third consecutive stellar start, as he allowed two runs on eight hits over seven-and-two-thirds innings, striking out seven and walking two.
  • Junior Jack Davis (LaGrangeville, N.Y.) was tagged with the loss, falling to 2-2, after giving up one run – unearned – on two hits over an inning-and-two-thirds. He fanned three and did not walk a batter.
  • In his last three starts, Whitney is 2-0 with a 1.25 ERA, as he has relinquished just three earned runs on 18 hits over 21-and-two-thirds innings, striking out 31 and walking three.
NOTES
  • SNHU, ranked 16th in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Division II Top 25 and 30th in the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Division II Baseball Coaches Poll, had won 12 of its last 15, including nine of 11, seven of eight and five straight.
  • Bentley is receiving votes in the NCBWA poll.
  • Bentley leads the all-time series, 46-44, and has won four of the last five meetings, despite the Penmen being victorious in 14 of the last 19. The Penmen have also won 13 of the last 15 at Bentley, but see their eight-game winning streak in Waltham ended. This was the first time the Falcons defeated SNHU on their home field since March 31, 2018 (4-3).
UP NEXT
  • The Penmen and Falcons will do it again Saturday (March 21) with a doubleheader scheduled for noon.
