Baseball Bested by Wentworth in Final Non-Conference Tilt

BOSTON, Mass. – The New England College baseball team fell to Wentworth on Thursday evening at Monan Park in Boston, Massachusetts in the team's final non-conference game of the season.  

THE BASICS 
Score: New England College 4, Wentworth 14 
Records: Pilgrims 7-25 | Leopards 13-18 

HOW IT HAPPENED 

  • While the Leopards jumped out to a 6-0 lead, the hardest hit ball of the evening came off the bat of junior outfielder Ryan Cote (Goffstown, N.H.) who pulled a full-count offering over the left-field fence for his first home run of the season. 
  • Down 6-1 in the fifth, graduate first baseman Johnny Cannavo (Weymouth, Mass.) hit a one-out double into the gap in left-center field and, one batter later, came in to score after graduate Bryce Worth (Southington, Conn.) hit a high fly that one-bounced the wall in left-center for an RBI double. 
  • In the seventh, Cannavo worked a leadoff walk and advanced to third on a ground-rule double by freshman third baseman Jaken Pellerin (Manchester, N.H.). Junior catcher Jackson Round (Cayuga, Canada) sent the first pitch he saw into center field for an RBI single to score Cannavo. Pellerin, who advanced to third on the hit, scored on a passed ball mistake by the Leopards to pull the 'Grims within three, 7-4. 
  • Wentworth put up a four-spot in the bottom of the seventh and added three more in the eighth to hold on for the non-conference win. 

INSIDE THE NUMBERS 

  • Wentworth starter Michael Archambault (Pepperell, Mass.) threw six innings with two earned runs to earn the win for Wentworth. NEC sophomore pitcher Paul Foster (Billerica, Mass.) made his second start of the season and took the loss. 
  • Cannavo, Pellerin, Cote, and junior outfielder Harold Martinez (Wethersfield, Conn.) reached base multiple times with Martinez adding a double in the second inning. 
  • Cote is now up to three career home runs after hitting two in his freshman season. 
  • With a single in the sixth, freshman shortstop Chase O'Brien (Nashua, N.H.) recorded his first career hit. 

UP NEXT 

  • NEC is back on the field this weekend when they finish out the regular season with a doubleheader against St. Joseph's College of Maine.
