• Eastern Connecticut State: 11-5, 2-0 LEC

Up Next

How It Happened - Game One

• Cody Dube struck out 10 for the third time this year, but the Warriors got the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth.
• KSC struck for a pair of runs in the top of the first, when Christian Bourgea was hit by a pitch and Devin Springfield reached on a fielder's choice.  After Connor Longley walked to load the bases, Vinny Parilla stroked a 2-RBI single to give the Owls the lead.
• It seemed as if that would be all Keene State would need; Dube was untouchable through the first four innings.  The senior struck out seven of the first nine batters he faced and did not allow a hit until the fifth until Alex Zachary led off the frame with a double.
• The Warriors broke through for two runs in the fifth, as Ryan Hood singled in Zachary, then scored on a passed ball to tie the game.
• ECSU got the go-ahead run in the eighth, when Pat Sirois singled and scored on D.J. Scavone's single up the middle.

How It Happened - Game Two

• Keene State again took an early lead, but the Warriors scored four in the fourth and three in the fifth to take the win.
• The Owls notched a single run in the top of the third; Trevor Chapin led off with a single to right and moved up on Dan Sarah's single.  A fielder's choice and an error brought Chapin all the way around.
• KSC added a second in the fourth when Christian Bourgea singled and came around on a wild pitch.  
• ECSU went in front for good as KSC starter Michael Crimi walked Sirois and Chad Adams, and allowed a single to Alexander White to load the bases.  Zachary then hit a grand slam for a 4-2 lead.
• White doubled in two runs and Ryan Hood had an RBI single in the fourth.  
• Crimi took the loss, allowing six runs in four innings and striking out four.  Five KSC relievers combined to allow two runs in five innings of work.
