Eagles Unable to Overcome Early Deficit
April 03, 2019 | Baseball
Baseball falls to Hartford, 7-4.
Â
BC attempted to overcome an immediate 3-0 deficit as the first three Hartford batters of the day all collected hits against senior right-hander Jack Nelson (Sparta, N.J.). Hawks' first baseman Chris Sullivan capped the scoring in the inning with a two-run home run to left.
Â
The Eagles failed to score in the first, but put up a single run in each of the next three innings to tie the game, 3-3, by the end of the fourth and get Nelson, who allowed three runs on six hits and no walks with four strikeouts in four innings, off the hook.
Â
Hartford regained the lead in the fifth with back-to-back extra-base hits off of freshman RHP Joe Mancini (Fairfield, Conn.). Shortstop Jackson Olson tripled into the right field corner to plate the go-ahead run. Mancini (2-4) took the loss in two innings of work with two runs scored on four hits, not walks and one strikeout.
Â
After the Hawks added an insurance run in the sixth, the Eagles got a run back on a solo home run to straightaway center field by freshman designated hitter Ramon Jimenez (Chicopee, Mass.).
