HUSKIES POUND DUKES FOR 9-3 CAA BASEBALL WIN
4/7/2007 4:00:00 AM | Baseball
HARRISONBURG, Va., April 7, 2007 ? Northeastern University belted five home runs to defeat James Madison University 9-3 in a Colonial Athletic Association baseball game on a cold and windy Saturday afternoon at Long Field/Mauck Stadium.
NU improved to 11-9 overall and 7-6 in the CAA and clinched the series with wins in the first two games of the three-game set. JMU fell to 10-21 overall and 4-9 in the conference, dropping its fourth CAA series of the season.
Sophomore Jeff Thomson (Grande Point, Manitoba/North Delta Secondary) earned the victory for the Huskies after tossing 7 2/3 innings. He allowed three runs, two earned, on seven hits with four strikeouts. At one point, he retired nine in a row and 14 of 15 JMU batters.
Sophomore Justin Wood (Dayton, Va./Turner Ashby) struggled, allowing six runs on nine hits. He went just four innings after his previous two starts were career highs of 7 2/3 innings.
Sophomore Frank Pesanello (Plainville, Mass./Bishop Freehan) was 3-for-4 with two runs and three RBIs, all driven in on a pair of home runs. Senior Dan Milano (Cumberland, R.I./Cumberland) had two hits including a home run, marking his fourth consecutive game with a homer. Sophomore Mike Tamsin (Branford, Conn./Branford) and junior Josh Porter (Middleboro, Mass./Middleboro) also homered for Northeastern, while junior Mike Lyon (Plainville, Mass./King Phillip) had a three-hit game.
Senior Davis Stoneburner (Richmond, Va./Mills Godwin) was 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI for JMU. Sophomore Brett Garner (Burke, Va./Lake Braddock) also had two hits. Redshirt senior Mitchell Moses (Richmond, Va./Mills Godwin) hit a pinch-hit home run and redshirt freshman Steven Caseres (New City, N.Y./St. Joseph Regional) had a sacrifice fly.
The Huskies started the first inning with back-to-back bunt singles. Tamsin grounded into what appeared to be a double-play opportunity, but Joe Lake's (Elkridge, Md./Long Reach) throw to second drew Rob Altieri (Greensburg, Pa./Greensburg Central Catholic) off the bag. Altieri was able to make the throw to first to get one out. An RBI groundout by Milano then plated the first run of the day.
The Dukes answered back in the bottom of the first with a single by Stoneburner and an infield single by junior Kellen Kulbacki (Palmyra, Pa./Hershey) with the throw getting away from the first baseman, allowing Stoneburner to advance to third. The error proved key as Caseres lifted a fly ball to shallow left center. The short stop made the catch but with his back to the plate and a stiff wind blowing out, Stoneburner alertly came in to score on the sacrifice fly.
A two-run home run by Pesanello in the second, his first of two, gave the Huskies a 3-1 lead.
JMU got one run back in the bottom of the third after Altieri led off the frame with a double to left. He moved to third on a groundout by Lake and came in to score on an RBI groundout by Stoneburner.
Pesanello drilled his second home run of the day in the fourth, a solo shot to right center for a 4-2 NU lead. A two-run shot by Tamsin in the fifth made it a 6-2 Huskies lead and chased Wood from the contest. The first pitch from freshman Dustin Crouch (Amherst, Va./Amherst) was sent over the left field wall by Tamsin. However, Crouch settled down from there to keep the Huskies off the board for 2 1/3 innings and record a career-high five strikeouts.
A pinch-hit, first-pitch home run by Moses leading off the seventh cut the NU lead to 7-3.
A lead-off single by Lyon followed by a perfect one-out hit-and-run single by Pesanello set up first and third with one down for the Huskies in the eighth. Freshman Dave Fisher (Stamford, Conn./Stamford) lifted a shallow fly ball to right that fell in for a sing
