Baseball Drops Home Opener to Pace, 5-3

MANCHESTER, N.H. – The Saint Anselm College baseball team dropped its home opener at Sullivan Park to Pace University, 5-3, in a Northeast 10 Conference matchup on Thursday afternoon.

Highlights

  • Junior Mavrick Bourdeau went 2-for-5 with one RBI.
  • Sophomore Jackson Powers posted two hits, including one double, with one RBI coming on a sacrifice fly.
  • Sophomore Coleson Kaluza went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base, and a run scored.
  • Sophomore Gavin Rigney had one double with two runs scored.
  • Junior Caden Smith threw six complete innings, allowing four earned runs on two walks and seven hits while fanning four Setters.
  • Freshman Brayden Hickman tossed four scoreless innings in relief, letting up two hits and two walks.

How it Happened

The first run of the game came across in the top of the first when a wild pitched plated Pace's leadoff hitter from third base. The Setters had a two-run home run sail over the right field fence, building a 3-0 edge in the first. Kaluza led off the bottom half of the inning with a single, stole second, and eventually came in to score on a sacrifice fly to deep left from Powers to make it 3-1.

After the Pace lead expanded to three runs in the second inning, the Hawks responded in the third as Slauson sent a run home with an RBI groundout with the bases loaded.

A solo homer from the Setters' Taison Jemison in the fifth made it 5-2 in favor of the visitors.

Saint Anselm was unable to make a comeback bid in the ninth inning, scoring once on a Bourdeau RBI single, but the Setters held on thanks to a strong five-inning relief appearance by Cristian Rodriguez.
