Sophomore shortstop Ryan Kravontka (Glastonbury, CT) had three hits, including a double, along with two runs and two RBI.

Junior third baseman Josh Jacobs (Essex Junction, VT) blasted a two-homer run (his third of the season) in the second inning.

Senior second baseman Jason Connelly (Scituate, MA) added a triple and three RBI for the Golden Bears who are now 15-5 overall and 5-1 in the conference.

Western New England College is ranked second in the NEIBA Division III Coaches Poll that was released earlier Monday afternoon.

Johnson & Wales falls to 11-10 and 4-2 in the GNAC. The Wildcats had defeated the Golden Bears 8-2 last Saturday at Trelease Park.
