MANCHESTER, NH – The Saint Anselm College baseball team dropped a pair of games to Southern Connecticut State (SCSU) in their final meeting with the Owls this season.

The Owls were able to capitalize on their new life, winning 15-14 after ten innings. Game two was a pitcher's duel, with SCSU able to silence the bats of the Hawks, ultimately winning 3-1 in the seven-inning game.

HOW IT HAPPENED (GAME ONE):

  • Saint Anselm struck first in the bottom of the first, starting with a leadoff double by sophomore Mavrick Bourdeau (Billerica, Mass.), who would score the opening run off a sacrifice fly from freshman Jackson Powers (Woburn, Mass.). The Hawks put another runner in scoring position quickly with another double from sophomore Brendan Gonzalez (Mechanicville, N.Y.), who would score off a double from sophomore Owen McCarron (Holliston, Mass.), the third of the inning, to put Saint Anselm up 2-0 after one.

  • Freshman Luke Douglas (Bellingham, Mass.) continued to add collegiate firsts since his debut in mid-April, this time with a home run down the left field line that reached the pavement to make it a 3-0 game.

  • The Hawks made it three straight innings with a run in the third, starting with an RBI single by freshman Peter Fischer (Marshfield, Mass.), scoring McCarron for the fourth run of the game, before a wild pitch brought home sophomore Matteo Cubello (Bethlehem, N.Y.). Saint Anselm doubled their lead with an RBI single by Powers, scoring Fischer to end the inning at 6-0.

  • Saint Anselm nearly doubled their lead again in the fifth, scoring five runs off hits in three consecutive at-bats. It started with RBI singles from Powers and Gonzalez before a three-run home run by freshman George Slauson (Plymouth, Mass.) blew the game open, 11-0.

  • The scoring resumed in the sixth for Saint Anselm, with Cubello again coming around to score, this time off an RBI single by Fischer.
