Baseball Ends Season with Loss to Franklin Pierce in NE10 Opening Round

RINDGE, N.H. – The Saint Anselm College baseball team saw its season come to a close with a first-round loss to top-seeded Franklin Pierce in the Northeast-10 (NE10) Championship.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • After three hitless innings to start the game, Franklin Pierce broke through in the bottom of the fourth with a solo home run by Michael Quiros.

  • In the fifth, the Ravens capitalized on a hit-by-pitch and two walks to load the bases with one out. Julien Monks made it count, launching a grand slam to extend the lead to 5-0.

  • Franklin Pierce added two insurance runs in the eighth, as Quiros led off with a single and Kiobel Lugo followed with a two-run shot to make it 7-0.

  • Sophomore Mavrick Bourdeau (Billerica, Mass.) put the Hawks on the board with a solo home run to lead off the ninth, but it was the only offense Saint Anselm could muster in a 7-1 loss in the NE10 Championship opening round.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:

  • The game marked the 76th all-time meeting between Saint Anselm and Franklin Pierce, with the Ravens improving to 58-17-1 in the series and 3-0 in postseason matchups.
