Manchester, N.H. (April 15)-The Saint Anselm College baseball team fell to the Falcons of Bentley University 3-1 at Sullivan Park on Wednesday afternoon in NE-10 action. The loss drops the Hawks to 12-18 overall and 8-7 in NE-10 play, while the win lifts the Falcons to 19-16 overall and 10-6 in conference contests.

The Falcons wasted little time getting on the board as James Roche (Arlington, Mass.) singled home lead-off man Charlie Pagliarulo (Medford, Mass.) for the 1-0 lead.

The game would stay that way until the bottom of the fourth inning Saint Anselm would tie it up on Dan DeCoste's (Chelmsford, Mass.) RBI single scoring Steven Panza (Watertown, Mass.). DeCoste would finish the day a perfect 3-for-3 with that RBI after being put in at first base in the fourth inning.

But it was Bentley's day, as they would add two runs in the top of the ninth led by Roche's home-run to left field for the 3-1 Falcons win.

Jeffrey Donnis (Hatfield, Mass.) got the start going an inning allowing one run on two hits. Senior Nick Barese (Braintree, Mass.) came out of the bullpen throwing 7.1 innings allowing one earned run and striking out three in the loss. Bentley starter Brett Fistes (S. Deerfield, Mass.) threw a complete game seven hitter striking out six in the win.

The Hawks return to action tomorrow, April 16th, as they will host New Haven for a 3:30 start.
