River Hawks Tripped Up at Hartford, 23-6
5/13/2016 2:39:00 PM | Baseball
WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – The UMass Lowell (18-28, 5-17) dropped the first game of its finale America East series, 23-6, to the Hartford Hawks (31-14, 11-7), on Friday afternoon.
Â
Ian Strom (Hopedale, Mass.) and Steve Passatempo (Medford, Mass.) combined to give the River Hawks a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the first. Strom led off the game with a double down the left field line, and two batters later the freshman drove him in with a deep sacrifice fly to right.
Â
The Hawks scored nine unanswered runs, taking a 3-1 lead after one and adding three more in the bottom of the third and fourth innings.
Â
The River Hawks were held off the scoreboard until the fifth inning, string together five hits to score four runs and cut the deficit to 9-5. With one out in the frame, Ben Prada (Laurel, Md.) singled, followed by a Strom hit by pitch and a Joe Consolmagno (Worcester, Mass.) single to load the bases.
Â
Three straight RBI singles by Passatempo, Russ Olive (Chelmsford, Mass.) and Chris Sharpe (Burlington, Mass.) got UMass Lowell within 9-4. Oscar Marchena (Miami, Fla.) ended the string of hits, but drove in Passatempo with a grounder to short to wrap up the scoring and make it a four-run game.
Â
Two bases-loaded walks and a three RBI double opened up a 14-5 buffer for the Hawks in the bottom of the fifth.
Â
Marchena drove in his second run with a ground out in the ninth inning. Strom and Consolmagno each scored twice, with Passatempo and Marchena recording two RBI. Olive and Sharpe led the River Hawks with two hits.
Â
UMass Lowell pitchers recorded eight strikeouts, paced by Steve Xirinachs (San Diego, Calif.) with three, and Dan Cunico's (Sandyston, N.J.) two.
Â
TJ Ward and Erik Ostberg did most of the damage for the hosts, driving in seven and five, respectively. David MacKinnon and Chris DelDebbio each scored five runs.
Â
The teams get back at it tomorrow with a doubleheader beginning at 12 p.m. Nick Kuzia (Seymour, Conn.) takes the mound and game one, with Andrew Ryan (Rochester, Mass.) toeing the rubber in the series finale.Â
