CHANDLER, AZ.  3/16/10 – A late-game rally by the Keene State College baseball team came up short in a 13-11 lose to Concordia (Wis.) University in Chandler Arizona on Tuesday. 

Keene State (4-2), which saw its four game winning streak come to an end, fell behind 12-2 after giving up nine runs in the fifth inning.  The Owls used four pitchers in the Falcon uprising. 

KSC began its comeback with single runs in the sixth and seventh innings.  The Owls scored three runs in the eighth to make it 13-7.  Sophomore Kyle Morrill (Auburn, N.H.) tripled and came home on an error and senior Anthony Cipolla (Glastonbury, Conn.) had an RBI single.

Morrill made things interesting with a grand slam home run, a shot over the center field fence with no outs in the ninth.  It was Morrill's third home run of the trip. However, the top of the order couldn't keep the rally going.

“We always tell the guys we're not out of a ball game until the final out is made,” said KSC Coach Ken Howe. 

Senior pitcher Ben Sonberg (Bow, N.H.) took the loss on the mound. 

The Owls face SUNY-Brockport for a single-game on Wednesday.
