A suicide squeeze is one of the most exciting plays in baseball, especially when it happens in the ninth inning of a one-run game.  

The Saint Joseph's College Monks were able to foil a Husson Eagles squeeze attempt in the bottom of the final frame when relief pitcher Corey McNamara made a magnificent diving catch, and doubled-off the would-be tying run at third base for the final out of the game.  

The unconventional double play secured a 3-2 road victory for the Monks in a non-conference battle at the Winkin Complex at Husson University.  

St. Joe's got out of the gate quickly in this one, as sophomore catcher Joe Coyne drove in Alex Markakis with an RBI single in the top of the first inning.  

No one would score again until the top of the fifth, when Monks' first baseman Mike Pratt drove in Sam Butts on a two-out double.  

Husson would get a run right back in the bottom of the inning, when Dylan Foster flared an RBI double to right field that pushed Cody McInnis across the plate to make it 2-1 St. Joe's.  

Coyne would pick up another RBI for the Monks in the seventh, this time driving in Pratt on an RBI double of his own.  

Husson clawed back within one in the eighth inning on a Josh Gaudette RBI single that scored Pat Thibodeau, but that would be the final run of the game for either side.  

Senior right-hander Jimmy Kennedy put together a very strong start for the Monks, going 5.1 innings while giving up just six hits and one earned run.

Left-hander Dan Meeken came in for 2.1 innings of middle-relief for St. Joe's, yielding just four hits and one run.

Corey McNamara earned the save for the Monks, dealing 1.1 innings of two-hit ball as well as making the stellar catch that ended the game.  

Sophomore Dennis O'Neil took the loss for the Eagles, going 7.2 innings while giving up three runs on eight hits and striking out four batters.  Brandon Reilly came in and pitched 1.1 innings of no-hit ball with a strikeout to finish the game for Husson. 

The win moves the Monks to 8-3 on the young season, while Husson falls to 4-8.  

The Eagles' next games will be a doubleheader at Endicott College on Saturday, March 30.  First pitch is set for Noon, with the second game following shortly afterwards.
