HOW IT HAPPENED (Game 2):
  • After suffering the loss in game one, Saint Anselm quickly bounced back with a strong first inning in game two.

  • In his first collegiate start on the mound for Saint Anselm, freshman Andrew Chenevert (Dracut, Mass.) tossed a scoreless opening two innings to keep his team's three-run lead intact.
  • The Hawks tacked on another run in the top of the third courtesy of an RBI single through the left side by Brune that scored Elmore, making it 4-0.
  • Southern Connecticut State put up a pair of runs in the bottom of the third. Fedeli brought home a run after singling to right and Billy Sullivan brought home another on a sacrifice fly, but Fedeli was caught stealing to end the inning.
  • Saint Anselm responded with two runs of their own in the top half of the fourth to push their lead back up to four runs. The Hawks again put two runners on with nobody out. Rose then sacrificed on a bunt to push the runners to second and third, which paid off as Elmore scored both with an RBI single two batters later to make it a 6-2 game.
  • Chenevert got through the fourth and fifth innings without allowing a hit. He also struck out a batter in each frame as the score remained the same heading into the sixth.
