MANCHESTER, N.H. – Junior Timothy Cooney (East Bridgewater, Mass.) gave up just one run over six innings, but the Saint Anselm College baseball team fell to Southern New Hampshire University, 5-0, at Penmen Field on Tuesday afternoon in a non-conference meeting.

The Hawks drop to 15-15 on the season, while the Penmen improve to 15-14.

Southern New Hampshire pushed its first run across on a sacrifice fly to left field with one out in the sixth. The Penmen then put four on the board in the seventh inning, with the first coming on a sac fly before a two-out, three-run double by Tim Rines followed a fielding error on a ground ball that would have ended the inning.

Cooney (0-3) went six innings and did not allow a hit. He gave up one run on two walks and struck out two. Sophomore William O'Connor (Worcester, Mass.) pitched the seventh, relinquishing four runs – one earned – on three hits, while striking out two. Freshman Zachary Brian (Stoneham, Mass.) tossed the final inning as he allowed a hit, issued two walks and recorded one strikeout.

Southern New Hampshire starter Zach LeBarron threw five innings of shutout baseball as he scattered four hits and struck out one. David Gibson tossed three perfect innings, while Ryan Walfield pitched a perfect ninth.

Sophomore Robert Kelly (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.) went 2-for-4 as the only Hawk with multiple hits.

The Hawks return to action Wednesday, April 13 (3:30) when they travel to take on Merrimack College in Northeast-10 action.
