Hawks Grounded by Eagles 11-6

Manchester, N.H. (April 1)-The Saint Anselm College baseball team fell to the Eagles of Post University 11-6 Wednesday afternoon at Sullivan Park in non-conference action. The loss drops the Hawks to 8-12 on the season, while the win improves Post to 15-5 in 2009.

The Hawks jumped out to a four-run lead in the bottom of the third when Matt Stone (West Roxbury, Mass.), Jimmy Garrigan (Plymouth, Mass.) and Eric Simm (Salem, N.H.) each notched RBI singles to give Saint Anselm a 4-0 lead.

Post would even up the game in the top of the fifth and take the lead in the top of the sixth on an RBI double from catcher Mike Moriarty (Long Beach, N.Y.) for the 5-4 lead.

In the seventh the Eagles would explode for five more runs led by Jim Conto's (West Hampstead, N.Y.) two-RBI triple to extend Post's lead to 10-4.

After Post added another run in the top of the ninth, the Hawks would score twice in the bottom half on RBI's from Evan Kelleher (Haverhill, Mass.) and TJ Bowler (Pittsfield, Mass.), but it would not be enough as the Hawks would lose 11-6 in non-conference action.

Post reliever Michael Wolfe (Ringwood, N.J.) would throw five scoreless innings allowing only one hit to pick up the win, while Hawks reliever Myke Fortier (Andover, Mass.) would take the loss going an inning and a third allowing five runs on four hits for his first loss of the season.

The Hawks return to action tomorrow, April 2nd, as they will host cross-town rival Southern New Hampshire in an NE-10 contest at 3:30 at Sullivan Park.
