Continuing to do damage in the second inning of ballgames, the Corsairs made today's non-conference clash no exception by posting a four spot against Hawk southpaw Mike Cardelle (Duxbury, Mass.). Tellier was responsible for the big bop of the frame as his double down the left field line unloaded the bases to extend the Corsair lead to 4-0. The Blue and Gold then came back in the fourth and fifth innings with a pair of runs in each turn at the plate, helped by Vasquez and his deposit into the trees behind the left field wall for a two-run dinger – his first of the season.
Roger Williams' bats withstood the cold weather as they heated up in the eighth. Junior infielder Anthony Dominguez (Chester, N.J.) dunked a double into left center that drove home freshman leadoff hitter Dean DePreta (Stamford, Conn.). Teammate Brandon Jenkins (East Bridgewater, Mass.) then smashed a ball to the hot corner, hitting off the glove of third baseman Mike Knell (Dennis, Mass.) that trickled towards the center of the diamond. Dominguez, who never broke his stride after hustling to third, continued on to race home and scored by the time an infielder could get to the loose ball making the score 9-2 in favor of the hosts.
UMass Dartmouth came right back to redeem the happenings in the away half of the frame with four more in the bottom half, highlighted by another run-producing hit by Tellier – this time, a single to left that scored Vasquez. Junior outfielder Chris Wood (Berkley, Mass.) also got in on the action by driving a ball the opposite way for a double to score two.
The Hawks put three on the board in the ninth, but junior reliever Chase Hussey (Claremont, N.H.) got the final out for the squad's milestone victory.
