River Hawks Show Character in 11-9 Victory at Northeastern
3/25/2015 10:12:00 PM | Baseball
Seven River Hawks had at least one RBI
Harring Interview
BROOKLINE, Mass. – Less than 24 hours after suffering their fourth straight one-run loss, the UMass Lowell baseball team responded with an 11-9 character win over Northeastern at Friedman Diamond.
Â
"We've been in these games for it seems like the last two weeks. Close ballgames, coming from behind and we just hadn't gotten over the hump but today we did," said Head Coach Ken Harring. "It's a tribute to the character of these guys, there's a lot of fight on our team."
Â
The River Hawks (4-10) offense got going early and answered the Huskies (7-14) each time they put runs on the board. Seven players had at least one RBI for UMass Lowell while Ian Strom (Hopedale, Mass.), Jimmy Ricoy (Lowell, Mass.) and Zack Tower (Auburn, Mass.) each knocked in two.
Â
After allowing nine runs in five innings to the Huskies Harring called on Steve Xirinachs (San Diego, Calif.), Tim Fallon (Huntingtown, Md.) and Strom. The trio blanked NU over the final four frames and gave the offense an opportunity to pull out the back-and-forth affair that had six lead changes. The River Hawks did just that with Ricoy sending the game-tying RBI single through the left side in the seventh before the team capitalized on back-to-back errors in the eighth by Northeastern second baseman Keith Kelly.
Â
Kelly's second error came on a ball hit up the middle by Joe Consolmagno (Worcester, Mass.) that he sailed into left field to bring in the go-ahead run and just two batters before Strom brought Conslmagno around for insurance.
Â
Fallon threw two innings and picked up his first career win as he and Xirinachs surrendered one hit to Northeastern over their three innings. Strom's second save of the season came in dramatic fashion as he gave up a leadoff walk and single before striking out Joey Scambia looking and Kelly swinging. The UML lefty then hit a batter to load the bases before getting Maxwell Burt to fly out a 3-2 pitch to center and end the teams five-game slide.
Â
The River Hawks struck in the opening frame when Matthew Sanchez (Sunrise, Fla.) ripped a double between the shortstop and third baseman to bring Danny Mendick (Rochester, N.Y.) around. The Huskies answered back in the home half of the inning when Rob Fonseca hit a ground-rule double to left center to push in a run before Pat Madigan sent a two-RBI double over the head of Ian Strom (Hopedale, Mass.) in right to take a 3-1 lead.
Â
Catcher Brice Erickson (Leominster, Mass.) hit a one out single to center in the second and came home on Zack Tower's (Auburn, Mass.) first home run of the season that sailed well over the left field fence.
Â
The River Hawks continue their ten game road swing with a three game series to begin conference play against America East pre-season favorite Stony Brook.
