A Dominant Second Inning
Marist completed a doubleheader sweep over Bryant with a 9‑2 victory, a performance anchored by a seven‑run second inning that turned the tide early and set the tone for the rest of the game.
America East Awaits
Bryant, now finished with a 27‑24 regular‑season record, will open its America East Baseball Championships campaign on Wednesday, entering as the No. 4 seed and awaiting the winner of a matchup between UMass Lowell and UAlbany.
The Bulldogs outhit their opponents 10‑4, drew seven walks but left nine runners stranded, and stole two bases to push their season total to 145, matching the America East single‑season record established by Northeastern in 1991.
Key Performances
Starter Ty Davis struggled, allowing five runs on four hits in just over an inning, while the relief corps — Billy Mulholland, Justin Dressler, Tommy Flaherty, Zev Salsberg and Jameson Dobis — combined to retire nine of ten batters across three scoreless innings.
Casey Wensley extended his hitting streak to seven games, scored twice and continues to climb the program’s all‑time single‑season rankings, while Mike Fiatarone went 1‑for‑1 with a run‑producing single and two stolen bases, improving to a perfect 10‑for‑10 in steals this year.
