HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • Sophomore Andrew Chenevert (Dracut, Mass.) started the game on the mound for Saint Anselm. He did not allow a run in the first two innings and got himself out of a jam in the first by striking out a pair with runners in scoring position.
  • Franklin Pierce flipped the switch in the bottom of the third. Joey Acker, Kiobel Lugo, and Nolan DeAndrade blasted back-to-back-to-back home runs, which gave the Ravens a 4-0 edge.
  • The Ravens extended their lead in the fifth inning with a two-run single by Ivan Arias, pushing the advantage to six runs.
  • Franklin Pierce tacked on another run in the sixth when Lugo was caught in a rundown between first and second, allowing Acker to score from third.
  • Saint Anselm broke through in the top of the seventh as junior Ben Rose (Webster, N.H.) led off with a double. He later scored on an RBI single by sophomore Mavrick Bourdeau (Billerica, Mass.).
  • The Ravens responded in the bottom half of the inning with an RBI single from Devin Kulas to restore the seven-run cushion.
  • The Hawks chipped away in the eighth, with sophomore Owen McCarron (Holliston, Mass.) delivering an RBI double. Junior Shea Howrigan (Enosburg Falls, Vt.) followed that up with a run-scoring single that made it an 8-3 game.
  • Yet again, the Ravens had an answer, plating four more runs in the bottom of the frame via a wild pitch, two bases-loaded walks, and an RBI groundout from Brycen Tetler.
  • The Hawks put two runners on in the ninth, but failed to push across another run and ultimately fell on the road by a final score of 12-3.
 

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
  • Franklin Pierce finished the game with 12 runs on 10 hits and 12 walks while leaving nine runners on base.
  • Saint Anselm totaled three runs on 10 hits and four walks while stranding eight on the base paths.
  • A total of 11 pitchers took the mound in the game. Esteben Rivera III started on the bump for the Ravens, throwing four scoreless innings with three strikeouts.
  • Chenevert lasted three innings for the Hawks, allowing four earned runs to go along with three strikeouts.
  • Sophomore Quinn MacDonald (Kennebunkport, Maine) provided 2.1 innings of relief work for the visitors and allowed two earned runs while recording a game-high four strikeouts.
  • Offensively, junior Steven Betty (Lowell, Mass.) and sophomore Alex Razzaboni (Brookline, N.H.) led the way for the Hawks with two hits apiece.
  • This marked the 71st meeting between these two programs, with Franklin Pierce improving to 54-16-1 in the all-time series. The victory was the Ravens' fifth consecutive win over Saint Anselm.
