BOSTON, Mass. (March 27, 2025) – The Western New England baseball team, playing their third game in three days, fell flat on Thursday afternoon on the road at UMass-Boston, banging out just four hits while allowing ten of their own, falling by a final score of 13-0.
Records:
- Western New England: 9-7
- UMass-Boston: 11-6
How it Happened:
The Golden Bears would draw two walks in the top of the first inning after both
Ryan Montini and
Leo Paragarino would take their four pitches but the Golden Bears would not be able to produce any hits in the inning, going down without a run.
Tanner Wall made the start for the Golden Bears in the bottom of the first, giving up one hit but got two ground ball outs and a fly out to end the inning. WNE picked up their first two hits of the game in the top of the second inning after
Antonio Galizia and
Connor Cowern would get on base but
Andrew Florek would fly out to end the inning. Wall would set the Beacons down quietly in the bottom of the second but the same could not be said for the bottom of the third.
UMass-Boston was on the board first in the bottom of the third inning after back-to-back hits would come back to haunt the Golden Bears' sophomore starter. The Beacons would use a sacrifice bunt followed by an RBI ground out to come away with the 1-0 lead in the game. The Beacons would tack on five more runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, totaling five hits in the inning which would pull Wall from the start. Two RBI singles for UMass-Boston and a two-RBI double would be the dagger for the Beacons which would pull Wall from the start.
Lucas Kamoen would allow one inherited runner to score to finish the bottom of the fourth, with the Beacons coming away with a 6-0 lead after four innings. The Western New England bats would go silent from there, not being able to answer the push from the Beacons.
Nathan Acabchuk would relive Kamoen in the fifth innings and gave up just one hit to the Beacons while leaving two on base after getting a strikeout and a flyout to end the fifth.
The Beacons would add seven more runs across the sixth and the seventh innings, including a six-run seventh that put the game well out of reach. UMB picked up an RBI single to score one, two sacrifice flies to plate two more and the big three-run home run to finish the scoring in the inning to a 13-0 lead. The Golden Bears went down quietly in the eighth and ninth innings, going hitless through the final five innings and dropping a 13-0 decision.
