Husson Rallies on Senior Day

Box Score

 

Bangor, ME - On Senior Day for Husson University the Eagles honored their six seniors with a come from behind victory as they defeated Bowdoin College 19-9.  The Eagles found themselves down 8-3 after 4 ½ innings of play, but rallied to outscore the Polar Bears 16-1 through the last five innings.

The Polar Bears scored three runs in the top of the first inning, highlighted by a two run RBI single by Ian Edwards (Fy. Bangor, ME).  Husson got back a run in the bottom of the inning with a RBI single to left field by Chris Maguire (So. Orland, ME).

Bowdoin scored another run in the top of the second on a line-drive RBI single to right field by Joe Berte (Sr. Marlborough, MA).  However, senior second baseman Billy Shannon (Newburgh, ME) would hit a groundball up the middle that would score two, bringing the Eagles within one run.

In the fourth inning Berte would hit a two run RBI triple to the right-center gap.  Berte would later score on a sacrifice fly, giving the Polar Bears an 8-3 lead.  In the bottom of the inning, after an infield error and a double by Jake Arthers (Fy. Belfast, ME), Tom Crews (So. Bangor, ME) would hit a RBI infield single. 

Husson senior outfielder Jeff Miller (Veazie, ME) would save at least one run for the Eagles in the top of the fifth inning, as he made an amazing diving catch to end the inning.  The Eagles would score two runs in the bottom of the inning by being patient at the plate as they drew two walks to start off the inning.  After Ethan Guerette (So. Sabattus, ME) scored on a wild pitch, Nick Arthers (Sr. Belfast, ME) would get one RBI closer to breaking Husson's single-season record for RBI as he brought Maguire home on a sacrifice fly.  Arthers is eight RBI away from breaking the record.

In the sixth inning, Maguire had an RBI ground out and Arthers would beat out a groundball that would score Kyle Vanidestine (Fy. Bangor, ME) from third, trying the game 8-8.  After a walk, Dennis Graham (Jr. Miramichi, CN) would burn the right fielder, giving him a two run RBI double and the Eagles their first lead of the game.

In the top of the seventh, Edwards would hit a double that bounced off the left-center field fence.  Joe Pace (Jr. Newburyport, MA) would then step to the plate and single home Edwards.  The Eagles would put the game away in the eighth as they scored nine runs, highlighted by a three RBI double by pinch hitter Matt Archetti (Fy. Chester, MA).
