THE ACTION

• Dow's two-out RBI single gave the Hawks a 1-0 edge in the top of the first inning.
• In the home half, Kolifrath doubled home a pair before Kinsella added a two-out RBI knock.
• Kinsella ripped a two-run single in the third before first-year Dom Tetta's (East Northport, N.Y./Northport) two-out RBI double made it 6-1.
• The lead swelled to 7-1 thanks to Kinsella's sac fly in the fifth.
• Saint Anselm got two back in the sixth, with Dow driving home a run, and sophomore Shea Howrigan's RBI single the following frame cut the deficit to 7-4. With the bases loaded and no one out, Safer averted further damage with a strikeout and a pair of fly balls.
• Kinsella added insurance with an RBI single in the bottom half, when first-year Richard Gilboy (South Portland, Maine/South Portland) also scored on a wild pitch.
