Box Score WINTER HAVEN, Fla.--Junior newcomer Eduardo Colmenares and junior shortstop Kevin Marciano both had two hits on Friday, but the Western New England University baseball team's comeback bid against Hope College fell just short, 6-5 in 10 innings, at the 2015 RussMatt Central Florida Invitational at Chain of Lakes Park #3. It was the season opener for both squads.

Leadoff hitter Devin Schaefers led the Flying Dutchmen's 13-hit attack by going 3-for-6 with two runs batted in. Ryan Konkle went 3-for-4 at the plate, including a double, and had two RBI. Schaefers singled home pinch-runner Tyler Gulick from third base with the game-winning run in the bottom of the 10th and two outs.

Colmenares tripled to right field in his first at-bat as a Golden Bear, bringing home senior Matt Anziano from first base as Western New England took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning.

With the Golden Bears trailing 5-2 in the eighth, junior Doug Milne and senior Steve Buckley reached base on back-to-back walks. After Jake Chipka was able to get two strikeouts, Colmenares came through and rocked a home run to plate Milne and Buckley to tie the game at 5-all.

Matt Glowacki, Hope's third pitcher of the afternoon, picked up the win after two scoreless innings without allowing a hit. He struck out four batters and walked one.

Marciano had a RBI-single to right field in the seventh to bring WNE within 4-2 before Konkle had a RBI-single through the left side in the bottom half to restore Hope's three-run cushion, 5-2.

Senior starting pitcher Trevor Breton struck out 11 Flying Dutchmen in 7-1/3 innings of work. Junior Matt Fedor took the loss as he had three strikeouts in 2-1/3 innings.

Western New England will continue its Invitational play on Saturday against Trinity-Conn. (3:30 p.m.) here in Winter Haven at Chain of Lakes Park.
