Baseball Picks Up Win in Game One of Doubleheader at First-Place Pace

PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. – Despite trailing by two in the seventh inning, the Saint Anselm College baseball team successfully completed the comeback en route to a 6-3 win in the first game of Sunday afternoon's doubleheader at Pace University, the current first place team of the Northeast-10 Conference's Southwest Division. Senior Nolan Elmore (Brentwood, N.H.) launched his team-leading seventh home run of the season, which is one-shy of tying his most in a single season in his career and is also tied for fifth-most in the NE10.

HOW IT HAPPENED (Game 1):
  • Saint Anselm got on the board early, taking a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning. Freshman Mavrick Bourdeau (Billerica, Mass.) led off with a bunt single, stole second, and advanced to third after a base hit by sophomore Shea Howrigan (Enosburg Falls, Vt.). With two outs in the inning, Howrigan was caught stealing second, but Bourdeau was able to cross home plate before the tag.
  • Hawks junior starting pitcher Jared Reminder (Warwick, R.I.) tossed an efficient first two innings, allowing just one hit and keeping the Setters off the board.
  • Pace tied the score in the bottom of the third. Brayden Sweppenhiser doubled down the left field line and then scored courtesy of an RBI single by Dylan Koch to make it a 1-1 game.
  • Mason Baronian homered for the Setters in the bottom of the fourth that gave them the lead. The Hawks went down in order in the fifth and sixth and in the bottom half of the sixth, Baronian brought another home with a sacrifice fly to make it 3-1, Setters.
  • Elmore led off the top of the seventh with a solo home run to cut the deficit to just one. Saint Anselm was not done there as the next batter, Bourdeau, doubled and senior Aidan Dow (Lynn, Mass.) drove him in with an RBI single up the middle to tie it, 3-3.
  • The bats stayed hot for the Hawks as Howrigan doubled down the left field line, which put runners in scoring position with still nobody out. Freshman Declan Ryan (Hooksett, N.H.) helped Saint Anselm retake the lead by scoring Dow with a sacrifice fly to make it 4-3.
  • Still in the same inning, junior Daniel Scolaro (Quincy, Mass.) drove a runner home with a double to left-center. That made it a two-run game and with two outs, the Hawks loaded the bases after two batters were hit by a pitch. Elmore then walked which scored a run and made it a 6-3 game.
  • Freshman Quinn MacDonald (Kennebunkport, Maine) entered the game to pitch for Saint Anselm in the bottom of the seventh. He struck out his first batter faced and allowed a single to the next batter, but Elmore then caught the runner stealing at second. MacDonald got out of the inning by forcing a groundout to help the Hawks keep their three-run advantage intact.
  • Freshman Cooper Hagen (Grand Rapids, Mich.) came on in relief and threw the final two innings for Saint Anselm. Hagen retired six of his seven batters faced on the way to his first career save, allowing the Hawks to pick up the win.
