BASEBALL DOWNS #7/14 SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE, 2-1, ON REYNOLDS WALK-OFF HOME RUN

Box Score

Rindge, N.H. – Junior right fielder Nate Reynolds (Johnson City, N.Y./Maine-Endwell) blasted a walk-off home run to give the Le Moyne College baseball team a 2-1 win over #7/14 Southern New Hampshire University on Sunday morning in Northeast-10 Conference action at Franklin Pierce University's Dr. Arthur and Martha Pappas Field.

Southern New Hampshire, which defeated the Dolphins last year to win the NCAA East Region championship, pushed across its only run on one hit in the top of the third inning. Catcher Andy Lalli drew a walk to open the frame, advanced to second on a balk and then moved to third on a fly out. After a groundout, designated hitter Andrew Pezzuto singled to right field to drive in Lalli.

The Dolphins evened the score at one apiece in the bottom of the fourth inning. Junior left fielder Pat Wiese (Fayetteville, N.Y./Christian Brothers Academy) doubled to center field to start the frame. After Wiese took third on a two-out wild pitch, senior designated hitter Kody O'Connor (Mexico, N.Y./Mexico) singled to right center to plate Wiese.

After each team had three base-runners over the next four innings, but none past second base, the teams went to the bottom of the ninth still knotted at one. After fouling off a 2-1 pitch, Reynolds launched the next pitch he saw from Jon Massad over the fence in left field for his first career walk-off hit.

Sophomore southpaw Ryan Davis">Ryan Davis (Queensbury, N.Y./Queensbury) earned his third win of the season after striking out a career-high 12 batters and yielding only one run on just four hits in his third complete game of the campaign. Massad (4-1) suffered his first loss of the year after allowing two runs on seven hits over eight-plus innings on the mound, while recording a strikeout of each Le Moyne batter.

Le Moyne (7-11, 1-1 NE-10), which snapped its four-game losing streak and Southern New Hampshire's eight-game winning streak, opens Northeast-10 Conference Southwest Division play on Wednesday at American International College at 3:30 p.m.
