NASHUA, NH - The SJC baseball team swept conference foe Daniel Webster
College on Sunday, 10-5 and 9-0. The Monks tallied 28 hits in the
two games and were led by SR Luke Enman
(Milan, NH), who had 4 hits, including a double and a triple, with
5 RBI's in the doubleheader. Game two starting pitcher FY Mason
Roberge (Franklin, NH) went 5 innings, struck out
5 and allowed no runs and two hits to earn his second win of the season.
The Monks improve to 11-10 overall and 4-4 in GNAC play with the sweep.
Daniel Webster jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning when SO
Nick Michaud (Windsor Locks, CT) turned on a FY Matt
Mullen (Rockland, MA) fastball for a grand slam home
run with two outs. SO Ben Grant-Roy (Biddeford, ME)
led off the top of the second with a solo blast, his 4th long ball
of the season, to help the Monks chip away at the Eagles’ early
lead. Mullen uncorked a wild pitch in the second
inning that allowed FY David Totman (Raynham, MA), who reached on
a one-out single, to score from third base and give the Eagles a 5-1
lead.
The Monks seemed unaffected by the early deficit, however, as the
SJC lineup went to work in the top of the third inning. St. Joe’s
rattled off 8 hits and scored 6 runs, all with two outs, to take a
7-5 lead. FY Todd Keneborus (Hollis Center, ME) led
off the inning with a single and it appeared he would be stranded
at first base after SR Andrew Wood
(South Portland, ME) and JR Wade Oliver
(Owls Head, ME) followed with line-outs to shortstop and centerfield,
respectively. SR Brian Schools (Gorham,
ME) sparked the two-out rally with a single and SR Luke
Enman (Milan, NH) followed suit with a base knock
of his own. Grant-Roy singled to send home Keneborus
and SR Dustin Spiller (Gorham, ME)
followed with an RBI single of his own that saw Schools cross the
plate. FY Ian Lee (Hampden, ME)
plated two SJC runners with a double to left-center that scored both
Enman and Grant-Roy to cap the scoring.
St. Joe’s went on to add three insurance runs in the top of
the sixth inning to take a 5-run lead, 10-5. Keneborus
opened the inning with a single and quickly stole second base. Andrew
Wood followed with a base knock, was lifted for pinch-runner
FY John Swasey (South Berwick, ME),
who also swiped second. Wade Oliver
sent them both home with a triple to the right-center gap and later
scored on a Luke Enman double to
complete the SJC and game scoring.
SO Andrew Keirstead (Westbrook,
ME) came in to toe the slab in the 3rd inning for the Monks in relief
of starter Matt Mullen, who showed
flashes of brilliance with 3 strikeouts in 2 innings of work. The
crafty Keirstead managed to keep the Eagles in check
for three innings, allowing just 2 hits while striking out 5, to earn
the victory, his second of the season. SO Chris Nanof
(Clinton, MA) threw two innings to finish the game and allowed one
hit and struck out one DWC batter.
For St. Joe’s, Todd Keneborus
was 3-3 with 2 runs and a stolen base, Ben Grant-Roy
2-3 with 2 runs and 2 RBI’s, Ian Lee
2-4 with a run and 2 RBI’s and Luke Enman
went 2-4 with a run and an RBI.
Wade
Oliver led off for the Monks with a single and was
driven home by a Brian Schools double.
St. Joe’s scored twice more in the third inning to stake a 3-0
lead when Schools scored on a DWC miscue and Luke
Enman was driven home by a Dustin
Spiller single.
SO Travis Adams (Saco, ME), Oliver
and Schools all scored when Enman
tripled to deep right field to give the Monks a 6-0 lead.
St. Joe’s went on to tack on single runs in the 5th, 6th and
7th innings to complete the game scoring and earn a 9-0 victory. In
the 5th, SO Pat Moran (Winterport,
ME) singled and was driven home by a Wade Oliver
single. Dustin Spiller doubled in
the 6th inning and scored on a John Swasey
base hit, the first of his college career. In the seventh inning FY
Joe Douglass (Poland, ME) doubled
and scored on a Luke Enman sacrifice
fly to left field to cap the scoring for the day.
For the Monks, Luke Enman was 2-4
with a run and 4 RBI’s, Dustin Spiller
2-4 with a run and an RBI and Wade Oliver
2-3 with 2 runs and an RBI. Starting pitcher Mason
Roberge provided the Royal Blue with the best start
of his young career. Roberge was perfect through
3 2/3 innings before allowing an infield single to SO Rob Leary (Litchfield,
NH). The big righthander pitched 5 innings and allowed 3 hits and
no walks while striking out 5 DWC batters to pick up his second win
of the season. JR Andrew Pooler
(Somesville, MA) and FY Bryant Lausberg
(Somersworth, NH) each pitched a scoreless inning in relief.
St. Joe’s is set to host Bowdoin College (2) in the home opener
on Tuesday, April 08, 2008 at 3:00 PM.
