Newbury Baseball Splits on Senior Day
Newbury Baseball Splits on Senior Day
The Nighthawks honored their three seniors that helped establish the second year NCAA Newbury Baseball program today during their double-header with Becker College. Ryan Dorgan (Methuen, MA/Methuen), Chris Cooper (Marlborough, MA/Marlborough), and David Carroll (North Providence, RI/North Providence) all played in their final home game for the Nighthawks as they split the day 1-1.
In the first game against the Hawks, the Nighthawks came out to an early lead with 5 runs in the first three innings. The Hawks scored their first run in the top of the fourth, and then made a comeback to tie the game with 5 runs in the 6th. Newbury, however, came through with two runs in the 5th and 6th to win the game 7-6.
Justin Adams (East Providence, RI/East Providence) earned the win for the Nighthawks, along with collecting two RBI's, one hit, and one run. Carroll and Evan Hudson (Sunapee, NH/Sunapee) each had two hits and two runs, with Hudson earning one RBI.
The Nighthawks entered game two with thin pitching and the Hawks prevailed with a 23 hit attack. Dan Briand (Northbridge, MA/Northbridge), Jim Ceglarek (Lane Tech / Chicago, IL), and Ryan Mercado (Old Saybrook / New London, CT) each had two home runs and 6 RBI's for the Hawks in game two.
Becker now has a 7-21 record. The Nighthawks are now 4-23 this season with two games to go. Newbury hits the road to play Daniel Webster tomorrow at 2:00 p.m.
