Springfield, Mass. - April 4, 2018 - The Springfield College baseball team fell to visiting Wheaton College, 5-0, in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) play on a rainy Wednesday afternoon at Archie Allen Field. With the loss, the Pride is now 13-5-2 overall with a 3-2 mark in conference play, while the Lyons, which were the home team in Wednesday's contest, climb above .500, and are now 10-9 overall with a 5-1 record against league foes.
Springfield College's Nick Naples (Kensington, Conn.) suffered his first loss of the season as he pitched 3.0 innings, giving up three hits and two earned runs, while Dakota Aldrich (Ellington, Conn.) came on and pitched 3.1 frames, giving up just a pair of hits. Fletcher Comment (Westbrook, Conn.) picked up four outs late in the game before Ken Manero (Hudson, Mass.) picked up the Pride's final out of the day.
Wheaton's Gavin Reily (Bridgewater, Mass.) improved to 2-0 on the mound as he pitched 8.0 strong innings, giving up just four hits, before John Mikosz (Southington, Conn.) came on for the final inning, striking out a pair to preserve the win.
Wheaton would get two in the bottom of the first, one of which was an RBI off the bat of Bryant Salkind (Rochester, Mass.), before Conor Gammond (Spring Lake, N.J.) drove in Nick Raposo (Johnston, R.I.) in the bottom of the third to give the Lyons a 3-0 lead.
Raposo drove a ball deep to center, which was caught, but Willy Boyd (Orleans, Mass.) trotted home for Wheaton's fourth run of the day, before the Lyons tacked on their final run in the bottom of the fifth on a ground out to short off the bat of Trevor Marques (Lincoln, R.I.).
Springfield College rallied in the top of the ninth inning, as Jack Cooney (Pittsfield, Mass.) drew a leadoff walk, before Mark Joao (Wappinger Falls, N.Y.) and Noah Bleakley (Granby, Mass.) loaded the bases, but Mikosz was able to force the last two outs of the game to preserve the shutout.
