THE ACTION

• With runners at second and third and two gone in the home half of the first inning, Pezzolla hit a line drive off of Rodríguez that deflected to the right side of the infield, where senior second baseman Iset Maldonado (Brooklyn, N.Y./Saint Francis Prep) tried making a tough play, but Pezzolla was safe and Doran scored the game's opening run. That proved to be the only run until the bottom of the eighth inning.
• First-year Zack Clough led off the Saint Anselm second with a single but was cut down trying to steal second by junior catcher Sebastian Oetterer (Orlando, Fla./Dr. Phillips).
• Lanthier singled with one out in the fifth and stole second but was left there.
• Oetterer and senior Julien Giroux-Harvey (Montreal, Québec/Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf) began the seventh by being hit by pitches consecutively, but a strikeout and double play ended the scoring bid.
• After the first batter was retired in the eighth, Doran and juniors Mike Pierro and Kyle Maurice all hit solo home runs in the span of four batters to put the game away.
