Owls Fall To Franklin Pierce, 5-2 and 6-3

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Southern Connecticut State University baseball team lost a pair of Northeast 10 Conference games against Franklin Pierce, 5-2 and 6-3, in a doubleheader that saw both games go extra innings. The Owls drop to 9-12 overall and open NE10 play at 0-2 while FPU improves to 9-9 overall and 2-0 in conference play.

The Owls received solid pitching in both games, as freshman Brandon White (Simsbury, Conn.) struck-out eight batters over seven innings and exited the first game after seven strong innings. White gave up two unearned runs in his first start at home and left with a no-decision. Tommy Hughes (Newington, Conn.) was strong in relief but was saddled with the loss in Game 1 after giving up a lead-off homer in the 11th inning. Hughes scattered three hits while striking out six in three innings.

In the second game, Ronnie Rossomando (Stratford, Conn.) gave up three runs over 7 1/3 while striking out eight. Joe Nemchek (Trumbull, Conn.) pitched 2/3 of scoreless ball before handing it over to Quantique White (New London, Conn.), who was solid for three innings before giving up three runs in the top of the 11th.

At the plate in the first game, Jim Palmer (Milford, Conn.) was 3-for-4 with a RBI while Anthony Zambito (Ridgewood, N.J.) was 2-for-3 with a run scored. Mac Finnegan (Old Saybrook, Conn.) drove in a run, while Connor Redahan (Greenwich, Conn.) scored one.

In the second game, Nolan Cloutier (Wallingford, Conn.) was 3-for-5 with two RBI while Redahan also drove in the game-tying run. Palmer also had three stolen bases in the second game. 

GAME 1
  • Franklin Pierce jumped out to a 2-0 lead with a run in the third and fourth innings – both unearned.
  • Southern had an opportunity to tie the game in the bottom of the fifth. DeMartino led off with a single before being retired at second on John Spoto's (Stamford, Conn.) ground ball. Cloutier then hit a double play ball that retired Spoto, but was able to beat the throw to first.
  • Zambito then bunted for a hit, moving Cloutier to second.
  • Palmer lined a single to right field to score Cloutier and cut Franklin Pierce's lead to 2-1, with Zambito being thrown out at the plate on the play.
  • In the ninth, Redahan jumped on the first pitch of his at-bat from reliever Ryan Covelle and blasted a double off the bottom of the wall in left-center. Finnegan then doubled him home with a ball hit to the same spot to tie the game at 2-2.
  • In the 11th, Pierce's Jonel Ozuna homered to lead off the inning to give FPU a 3-2 lead before the Ravens tacked on two more runs.

NOTES
  • Cloutier's three-hit day in the nightcap of the Owls' twinbill gives him a team-leading 11 multiple hits for the year. The game marked an end to a three-game hitless streak for Cloutier, his longest drought of the year.
  • With two hits in the first game, and a hit-by-pitch in the second game, Cameron O'Toole (Grafton, Mass.) has now reached base safely in 12-straight games, the longest active streak in the Owls' lineup.
  • Palmer was 4-for-8 for the doubleheader with a RBI and a run scored for the afternoon with three stolen bases. He has now hit safely in three straight games.
  • Hughes' six strikeouts are a career-high, while it also marks his second-straight appearance in which he has given up one earned run.
  • White recorded his third quality start in four appearances this season while his three hits allowed and eight strikeouts are career-bests. White has now given up one earned run in his last 15 innings pitched through his last three starts.
  • Rossomando's eight strikeouts match his season-best, as does his three hits allowed.
