WINTER HAVEN, Fla. - The Husson University baseball team dropped a doubleheader to the Monks of Saint Joseph's College (Maine) by the final scores of 6-3 in game one and 3-0 in game two at the Chain of Lakes Stadium.

With two outs in the first inning, the Eagles (4-5) scored the first run of the contest in game one. Sophomore Jackson Curtis crushed the ball off the wall in left field for a double then junior Joshua Scott followed that up with a drive down the right field line to score Curtis. 

The Eagles doubled the lead in the third inning as Curtis fouled out to the catcher and sophomore Akira Warren tagged up to advance from second to third and the Monks' catcher overthrows the ball to third and Warren scores on the error. 

The Monks (4-2) would take over the game in the fifth inning as Drew Healey drove in two runs on a double to tie the game. Then in the sixth inning, the Monks scored four more runs as they would win this game, 6-3. 

The senior southpaw Cam Graham made his second start of the season and went four-plus innings and he gave up two runs on four hits. Senior Jake Gregoire and sophomore Ryan Robb finished the game in relief. 

In game two, the Monks scored the only runs of the contest to win game two, 3-0. 

Sophomore Chris Naylor made his second start on the mound and gave up two runs on two hits in two-plus innings. Junior Harrison Lendrum finished the game by pitching over four innings and allowing one run on three hits. He struck out six of the 17 batters he faced. 

That concludes the Eagles participation in the 2022 RussMatt Invitational as the team will fly home and take on Colby College for a nine-inning game next Wednesday. First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m. at Coombs Field.
