STANDISH, ME - St. Joe's defeated in-state rival Colby
College, 6-3, on Wednesday afternoon. SR Steve Stout
(Gloucester, MA) worked 5 innings in relief to earn his first win
of the season and JR outfielder Wade Oliver
(Owls Head, ME) registered 2 hits and knocked home 2 runs in the victory.
The Monks improved to 14-10 overall this season with the win.
Colby
put a run on the board in the top of the first inning when lead off
hitter SR Nick Spillane (Darien, CT) scored on a 6-4-3 double play
turned by the SJC infield. SR Brian Schools
(Gorham, ME) scored the tying run in the bottom of the inning off
of a SR Luke Enman (Milan, NH) groundout
to second base.
The Monks scored 4 runs off of 5 hits in the bottom of the second
to secure a 5-1 lead. SR Dustin Spiller
(Gorham, ME) and SO Pat Moran (Winterport,
ME) opened the inning with back-to-back singles. FY Todd
Keneborus (Hollis Center, ME) rapped a single over
the first baseman’s head to plate Spiller while
Moran advanced to second. Moran stole third base and scored on a SO
Travis Adams (Saco, ME) grounder
to the Colby shortstop while Keneborus reached second
base. Next up was FY John Swasey
(South Berwick, ME), who slapped a single to center to advance Keneborus
to third. Leadoff hitter Wade Oliver
sent both freshmen home with a single to provide the Monks with some
breathing room on the scoreboard.
Travis Adams scored the sixth SJC
run in the 4th inning on a first and third double-steal play with
teammate John Swasey, who successfully
swiped second base.
Stout held Colby in check until the fifth inning when SO Ryan Conlon
(Ridgefield, CT) hit a two-run blast over the left field wall, just
beyond the reach of Monks outfielder Todd Keneborus,
to lessen the SJC lead to 6-3.
The Monks utilized their bullpen depth as pitchers SR David
Doucette (Ipswich, MA), SO Chris
Nanof (Clinton, MA) and Brian Schools
combined to throw 4 innings of scoreless relief to preserve the victory
for the Royal Blue. Nanof struck out 3 Colby batters
in two innings of work and Schools closed out the
9th inning to notch his third save of the season.
For the Monks, Todd Keneborus was
2-4 with a run and an RBI and recorded a key outfield assist when
he threw out SO Michael Cuqua (Walpole, MA) at home plate in the seventh
inning to halt a potential Colby rally with the inning-ending double
play.
For Colby, Ryan Conlon was 2-4 with a run and 2 RBI’s and FY
John Lerner (Canton, MA) went 2-3 in the losing effort. Mules’
starter SO Nick Ruocco (Lexington, MA) takes the loss on the mound.
