Trinity Baseball Drops Pair At Roger Williams

Mike Guanci walked, doubled, and scored a run in game one
Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Bristol, R.I. - The visiting Trinity College Bantams dropped both games of a road doubleheader (7/9) against the Roger Williams University Hawks in baseball action this afternoon at Paolino Field.  Trinity falls to 2-2, while the Hawks are now 5-1 with a four-game winning streak.  Junior Colin Mann (Dedham, Mass.) went 4-for-8 with a pair of RBIs for the Bantams.  

Trailing, 3-0, after two innings in the first game back got within a run when junior Mike Guanci (Wakefield, Mass.) led off with a walk and scored on an error, first-year 3B Jack Mathews (Westport, Conn.) singled, and senior Vince Capone (Ambler, Pa.) scored Mathews on a sacrifice fly.  The Bantams tied the game 3-all on two-out, RBI single by Mann in top of the next frame, but the Hawks scored four times in the bottom of the fourth to chase Bantam junior starter Jimmy Fahey (Danbury, Conn.) and led, 7-3.   Trinity scored its final run in the fifth inning thanks to a leadoff double by Guanci and a sacrifice fly by Mathews.  The Bantams loaded the bases later in the fifth on three straight, two-out walks but could not push another run across.  Three Roger Williams relievers surrendered just one hot over the final nine Trinity outs.  Mathews finished with two hits, while Brandon Jenkins Jenkins (East Bridgewater, Mass.) was 3-for-3 with a homer and three RBIs for the Hawks.

Rookie RHP Ian Brown (Tampa, Fla.) kept the Hawks off the board into the sixth inning of game two, ending his first career outing with one hit allowed and four strikeouts over 5.2 innings of work.  Trinity took a 2-0 lead with two runs in the fifth frame.  Rookie John Flannigan (Syosset, N.Y.) was hit by a pitch to start the inning and later scored on an error.  Trinity sophomore SS Patrick Dillon (Bronx, N.Y.) singled and scored on a Capone sacrifice fly.  Roger Williams broke the game open with a five-run seventh inning, but the Bantams fought back with two runs in the top of the eighth on an RBI single by Dillon and another Hawk error to make the score, 5-4.  The home team answered with two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning, and Trinity again responded with a run in the ninth on a run-scoring single by Mann with two outs but it was not enough.  Mann finished 3-for-5 and Dillon was 2-for-4.  Five Trinity relievers yielded six earned runs over the last two innings.
