Box Score
ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. - University of Massachusetts baseball team dropped its series finale at St. Bonaventure on Sunday afternoon by the score of 7-3. The setback leaves the Minutemen at 6-13 overall and 2-4 in the Atlantic 10, while the Bonnies improve to 14-11 on the year and 2-4 in conference play.
UMass opened the scoring in the top of the first. Senior John Jennings led off with a single and, after moving to third on a double by junior Mike Geannelis, came home on a sacrifice fly by Hunter Carey.
The Bonnies responded, however, by pulling in front, 2-1, in the bottom half of the inning. Danny Urban’s RBI single through the right side knotted things up at 1-1, while Tommy LaCongo scored on an error on the play for the go-ahead run.
In the top of the fifth, the Minutemen leveled the score at 2-2. Senior Vinny Scifo led off with a single to center and later crossed the plate on a bases loaded walk to Geannelis.

Avallone with a single through the right side.

The squad went on to add three more insurance runs, one in the seventh and two more in the eighth.
