Stone's Walkoff Gives Hawks Split with Saint Rose

Manchester, N.H. (April 5)-After falling to Saint Rose 6-5 in game one of an NE-10 doubleheader, the Saint Anselm College Hawks, led by Matt Stone's (West Roxbury, Mass.) walk-off RBI single, defeated the Golden Knights 4-3 in 10 innings in game two Sunday afternoon at Sullivan Park. The split makes the Hawks 10-14 overall and 6-4 in NE-10 play, while the split moves the Golden Knights to 9-17 and 5-7 in league games.

In game one, the Hawks took a 5-1 lead led by freshman Ben Waldrip's (Medford, Mass.) three hits, including a home run and a double, and four RBI's through six innings. Saint Rose added five runs in the next two innings to take the 6-5 lead and the win.

Saint Anselm starter John Healy (Cranston, R.I.) went 6.1 innings allowing three earned runs in the no decision, while Kyle Lavin (Shelton, Conn.) took the loss for the Hawks going two-thirds of an inning allowing a run for his third loss of the season.

In game two, the Hawks rallied from two runs down in the bottom of the eighth when Ben Gunn (Vineyard Haven, Mass.) scored on an error and Waldrip knocked an RBI single to even the game at three and force extra innings.

In the bottom of the 10th, Stone's RBI single scoring Waldrip gave the Hawks their sixth NE-10 win of the season.
