LOWELL, Mass. – The UMass Lowell (17-25, 5-15 AE) baseball team dropped a pair of conference games against UMBC (22-20, 10- AE), 7-3 and 2-1, Saturday at LeLacheur Park.
Â
"It was a tough day to lose two more," said Head Coach Ken Harring. "We are trying everything we can to get out of this, Xirinachs pitches a great game in game two and we couldn't score enough runs for him. They're a veteran team and they took advantage of what they needed to do."
Â
The Retrievers' Kevin Lachance led off the game with a double and came with one run in the top of the first, and added two in the fourth behind a Hunter Dolshun solo home run to take a 3-0 lead.
Â
Steve Passatempo (Medford, Mass.) connected on his 10th long ball of the season, and the first for the River Hawks at LeLacheur this season, to cut into the deficit to 3-1 in the bottom of the frame. Three batters later, Chris Sharpe (Burlington, Mass.) made it a one-run game with a sacrifice fly, following back-to-back singles by Russ Olive (Chelmsford, Mass.) and Oscar Marchena (Miami, Fla.).
Â
UMBC tacked on four straight with one in the sixth and three in the seventh before Joe Consolmagno (Worcester, Mass.) crossed the plate on a wild pitch in the eighth.
Â
In the fifth inning, Consolmagno hit his 13th career triple to move into a tie for first all-time. The senior led the team with two hits in the first game.
Â
Lachance and Andrew Casali each had three hits for UMBC, and Lachance scored two runs.
Â
Game Two
The River Hawks took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when Olive sent a RBI single back up the middle to score Marchena, who led off the inning with a single.
Â
Dolshun ripped a two-run double down the left field line to put the guests up 2-1 in the fourth inning. Anthony Gatto connected on UMBC's first hit of the game with a single and scored the go-ahead run.
Â
Steve Xirinachs (San Diego, Calif.) pitched seven innings and struck out four in the loss.
Â
The River Hawks look to snap their skid on Senior Day, with game three against the Retrievers at 12 p.m. tomorrow. There will be a pre-game ceremony honoring Consolmagno at approximately 11:45 a.m.
