MILTON, Mass. (April 18, 2026) – Tanner Wall started a strong day for the Golden Bears with an 8-inning, ten-strikeout win in game one before Colby Dimenna recorded a seven-inning, two earned runs performance. Together, the two pitchers helped the Golden Bears sweep the Colonels with assistance from Ryan Montini, Tyler Waterbury, Noah Schermerhorn, and Tyler Kornacki.
Game One:
Score:
  • Western New England: 4
  • Curry College: 3
How it Happened:
First Inning:
  • The Golden Bears got the game started with a double from Tyler Waterbury and a single from Ryan Montini to have runners on the corners. However, a final batter strikeout would keep them from getting the game's first run. WNE's Tanner Wall kept the Colonels hitless in the bottom of the first to move the game to the second.
Second Inning:
  • Curry's Henry Marino responded likewise by sitting WNE down one, two, three in the top of the second. Curry would get runners to second and third, with no outs. However, Wall struck out the next two batters and got the final batter to ground out to second to end the inning without a run.
Third Inning:
  • WNE opened the scoring in the third as they saw Ryan Montini double to left field to score Tyler Waterbury. WNE gained the 1-0 lead. Wall would hold the lead in the bottom of the third with a one, two, three inning.
Fourth Inning:
  • WNE would not get a runner on base in the fourth before the Colonels grabbed the lead. Joey Kazlauskas doubled to left, scoring Jorge Rodriguez to tie the game at one. Blake Fuller then reached on an error, and Kazlauskas scored to give Curry College the lead, 2-1.
Fifth Inning:
  • Antonio Galizia recorded a leadoff single for WNE, but the Golden Bears could not score him. The Colonels got a runner on base also, but like WNE, could not capitalize on the scoring chance.
Sixth Inning:
  • WNE had a couple of opportunities to score in the top of the inning, but Corey Kilroy would get thrown out at home, looking to score. Wall would hold strong in the bottom of the sixth, striking out two, to lead the teams into the seventh inning.
Seventh Inning:
  • The seventh saw WNE threaten again, but Ryan Bohrman would strand two Golden Bears on base by getting the final WNE batter to fly out. It continued to be a defensive battle as Wall only let up a single to Fuller and would get the other three batters faced, out.
Eighth Inning:
  • WNE found the equalizer in the eighth inning thanks to a Connor Cowern single through the left side of the infield. Kilroy scored, and the score was 2-2. Bohrman struck out the final two batters of the inning and gave the Colonels momentum.
  • Curry College would capitalize on the momentum and retake the lead off a wild pitch, which brought Michael Frausto home. The Colonels led 3-2 going into the final inning of play.
Ninth Inning:
  • The Golden Bears would not go away. Reegan Thomas entered the game for Curry College, looking for the save. The Golden Bears would not allow that. Corey Kilroy hit a sacrifice fly ball to center field, which scored Leo Paragarino.
  • Then, Mark Zigmont hit a sacrifice fly ball to right field, scoring Tyler Waterbury. WNE led 4-3 and had to hold on for three more outs.
  • Jason Pinsonnault entered the game for Tanner Wall and would record the save, getting two batters to pop out and one to ground out. WNE took game one, 4-3.
Inside the Diamond:
  • The Golden Bears won game one 4-3.
  • Tanner Wall pitched eight innings, letting up two earned runs, and striking out ten batters to earn the game one win.
  • WNE was led at the plate by a 2-for-3, with one walk and a double performance from Tyler Waterbury.
  • Ryan Montini also had two hits, going 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Tyler Kornacki was the third Golden Bear with an extra-base hit (another double).
  • Seven Golden Bears record at least one hit in the first contest of the day.
  • Joey Kazlauskas went 3-for-4 for the Colonels, with one RBI and a double.
  • Jason Pinsonnault recorded his first save of the season.
Game Two:
Score:
  • Western New England: 8
  • Curry College: 2
How it Happened:
First Inning:
  • Colby Dimenna and Lucas daCosta faced off in game two from the mound. WNE struck first, with a single from Tyler Kornacki. That drove Leo Paragarino and Tyler Waterbury home, giving WNE a 2-0 lead. Dimenna dealt with the Colonels, one, two, three.
Second and Third Innings:
  • Both teams got at least one runner on base in the second inning. However, both pitchers were able to work their way out of the second inning. Then, neither pitcher allowed a runner on base in the third inning, keeping the score at 2-0.
Fourth Inning:
  • WNE recorded three runs in the third to really break open the game. Noah Schermerhorn singled with no outs and two runners on base. Both Ryan Montini and Corey Kilroy scored, and WNE led 4-0.
  • Then, Jack Gamache singled through the middle of the infield, scoring Schermerhorn to extend the lead to 5-0. Dimenna then dealt with the home side in the bottom of the fourth, and WNE led by five going into the fifth.
Fifth Inning:
  • The Golden Bears found a couple more runs in the fifth. Schermerhorn hit another single, scoring Waterbury. Then, Connor Cowern scored Montini with a double to left-center field. WNE led 7-0 after the top of the inning.
  • The Colonels answered with two runs, though. Danny Leyva grounded out, but scored Ryan Murphy. Then, Anthony Figueroa hit a sacrifice fly ball, and Blake Fuller scored. WNE's lead was trimmed to 7-2.
Sixth and Seventh Innings:
  • The Colonels would look to Jack Keane to take over the pitching duties in the sixth. Both he and Dimenna got through the sixth and seventh innings without a run scoring. Both teams recorded a single between the two innings, but no runs.
Eighth Inning:
  • The eighth inning continued the defensive momentum, as neither Keane nor the newly entered Jack Lewis let up a run, and the teams looked to the ninth and final inning of the day.
Ninth Inning:
  • Corey Kilroy put a cap on the day with a single to score the final run of the afternoon, Tyler Kornacki. WNE led 8-2, and that is how it would stay as Jack Lewis let up a hit in the last inning before striking out one batter and getting the final two out.
Inside the Diamond:
  • The Golden Bears won game two 8-2 to complete the sweep.
  • Corey Kilroy led the Golden Bears with a 3-for-5, one double, and one RBI game two.
