WEST HAVEN, Conn. – The New Haven baseball team put up a combined 21 runs on the day as the Chargers posted another Northeast-10 Conference series split, taking the early game against the Southern New Hampshire Penmen on Monday afternoon at Frank Vieira Field. With the split, New Haven stands at 11-11 overall on the season and 3-2 in NE10 play.

Combined on the day, a trio of Chargers finished with three hits, led by graduate designated hitter Tyler Well who closed out the opening game going 3-of-5 with a pair of RBI and a run scored. Sophomore first baseman Matt McIntire (Williamstown, N.J./Williamstown) and freshman third baseman Joseph Frazzetta (Howard Beach, N.Y./Archbishop Molloy) used both games to combine for three hits, both racking up two hits in the opener and adding one more in the night cap.

Following that trio was senior shortstop Kenneth Franquiz (Bellmore. N.Y./Mepham) and junior Cole Maucere (West Babylon, N.Y./West Babylon) who each finished with two hits on the day, Franquiz seeing both of his come in the first game and Maucere going 2-for-4 as the designated hitter in the second game while driving in a team-high three runs.

On the mound, it was the starter Randy Ramnarace (Brentwood, N.Y./Brentwood) who benefited from the opening game victory. The sophomore righty threw five innings and surrendered four runs, three of which were earned on six hits and four walks. He also struck out three batters. Vincent Fusco (Fishkill, N.Y./John Jay East Fishkill) put the most time in relief in game one, coming out of the pen to throw three innings and surrender a single earned run on one hit and a walk. Kyle Allen (Middle Island, N.Y./Longwood) closed out the game throwing a scoreless ninth inning with one hit allowed.

In the second game, starter Timothy Lewis (Southwest Harbor, Maine/Wilmington) suffered the loss as he was tagged for six earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out a pair. New Haven would rely on four different players out of the pen with the most efficient being Christian De Risi (Hempstead, N.Y./Kellenberg Memorial) who threw a scoreless and hitless seventh inning.

Even with the adjustment to Monday due to inclement weather, the New Haven baseball team will enjoy a four-day break before returning to the diamond with their next game coming on Friday afternoon as the Blue and Gold begin a three-game NE10 Southwest Division series against Pace. First pitch in the series opener is set for 3:00 p.m. at Finnerty Field in Pleasantville, N.Y.
