KEENE, N.H. 04/30/05 - Jeremy Schilling (Centerville, Mass.) doubled to left field and came home on an error to break a 3-3 tie and give the Keene State College baseball team a 4-3 Little East Conference victory over UMass-Boston at Owl Athletic Complex on Saturday. The game was originally scheduled to be played at UMB but was moved to Keene State due to lack of a playing field. The second game of the doubleheader was cancelled due to rain.
