DOLPHINS SPLIT WITH FAIRFIELD, ‘PHINS TAKE GAME ONE
4-3, DROP SECOND GAME 6-2
FAIRFIELD, CT – Led by right-hander Eric Beaulac’s
strong pitching performance in game one, the Dolphins managed a
split at Fairfield. The ‘Phins took game on 4-3 and dropped
the nightcap 6-2. Le Moyne moves to 23-20 on the season while
Fairfield improves their record to 14-29.
In game one, the Dolphins got on the board in the second inning
with three runs. Following a Phil St. Amant double and a walk to
Chris Haynes, Robby Perez plated one run on an RBI single to left
field. Le Moyne added two more RBI’s on singles from Sean
Paino and Alex Del Valle to take a 3-0 advantage. Doubles by Chris
Edmondson and St. Amant pushed across one more run in the top half
of the third to increase the Dolphins’ advantage to 4-0.
Junior Eric Beaulac cruised through his first seven innings of
work, holding the Stags scoreless and allowing only two hits.
Fairfield scratched together one run in the eighth on a bases
loaded fielder’s choice. With the game tying run first base,
lefty Tom McDermott earned his first save of the season when he got
Tucker Nathans to ground out to second base to end the game.
Beaulac improved his record to 7-2 on the season allowing four
hits, one earned run and striking out six.
After three scoreless innings to open the second game of the
doubleheader, Fairfield struck for four runs in the bottom of the
fourth highlighted by Nathans’ two-run home run to left and a
two-out, two-RBI double by Michael Joyce. A solo homer by Chris
Murphy pulled the Dolphins within three runs at 4-1 in the top half
of the sixth. The Stags answered with two more runs in the bottom
half the innings on Patrick Hoban’s two runs single up the
middle.
Kevin Fico went the distance for the Stags, allowing four hits, two
earned runs and recorded four strikeouts. Albie Desimone led the
way for Fairfield with two hits and one run scored. Tucker Nathans
also added two RBI’s and a run scored.
After recording in game one, Chris Edmondson failed to connect in
game two to snap his hitting streak at 16 games.
