Penmen run winning streak to 10 games

When and Where: April 9, 2026 — Hooksett, N.H. (Penmen Field)
Score: #25 Southern New Hampshire University 15, Saint Anselm College 7
Records: SNHU 22-8 (14-4 NE10), Saint Anselm 11-14 (9-8 NE10)

Graduate student Marc Cisco (Long Island City, N.Y.) and junior Casey Cumiskey (Milltown, N.J.) each drove in four runs, while junior Jack Davis (LaGrangeville, N.Y.) came on in relief to allow just one hit over five-and-a-third shutout innings, as the 25th-ranked Southern New Hampshire University baseball team pulled away from Saint Anselm College late for a 15-7 victory Thursday afternoon at Penmen Field.

HIGHLIGHTS
  • Southern New Hampshire moved out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first on a two-out RBI double down the right field line by senior Jake Pisano (Hamden, Conn.).
  • SNHU then plated six with two outs in the second. A three-run double to right-center from Cisco was the big blow. That was followed by run-scoring singles by senior Dakota Britt (Rockwall, Texas) and graduate student Shane McNamara (Londonderry, N.H.), sandwiched around another RBI double by Pisano, to stretch the Penmen lead to 7-0.
  • Saint Anselm answered back with a four-run third, with George Slauson delivering an opposite-field, three-run home run to pull the Hawks within 7-4.
  • The visitors pulled even with a three-run fourth, tying the game at 7-all with a bases-loaded walk.
  • SNHU went back in front with two runs in the fifth, including an RBI single from Cisco that made it 9-7.
  • The Penmen put it away with three in the sixth and three more in the seventh. Cumiskey had a two-run single in the sixth and an RBI double in the seventh.
  • Cisco finished 4-for-5 with a double, walk, four RBI and a pair of run scored.
  • Cumiskey went 2-for-4 with a double, walk, four RBI and two runs scored.
  • Pisano was 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles, a walk, two RBI and a run scored.
  • Senior Kyle Lavigne (Bedford, N.H.) turned in a 2-for-3 performance with a double, two RBI and a pair of runs.
  • Junior Joel Valera (Boston, Mass.) was 2-for-4 with a walk and scored a pair of runs.
  • Freshman Shawn Taylor (Sewell, N.J.) made the first start of his career and was charged with three runs – two earned – on one hit and four walks over two-plus innings. He struck out a pair.
  • Three relievers then combined to allow four runs – three earned – on three hits, while walking six and striking out a pair in an inning-and-a-third, before Davis came on to slam the door.
  • Davis (6-2) struck out five and walking, while allowing a single hit over five-and-a-third innings.
