NEW LONDON, N.H. – April 24, 2015 – The Colby-Sawyer baseball team dropped a pair of North Atlantic Conference (NAC) games to Lyndon, 4-0 and 6-5 on Friday afternoon.

The Hornets, who are coached by former Colby-Sawyer baseball standout and Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Tom White '09, improve to 8-20 overall and 7-11 in the NAC. One of Lyndon's assistant coaches is also a former Charger baseball player, Greg Mehuron '12.  The Chargers drop to 1-29 overall and 1-19 in the NAC and will travel to non-conference foe Norwich on Sunday.

GAME 1 – LYNDON 4, COLBY-SAWYER 0

After six scoreless innings with only one baserunner reaching third base for either side, Lyndon struck for four runs in the top of the seventh.

Sophomore Kevin Tufo (Colchester, Conn.) knocked in the game's first run with a bunt single. Two batters later, junior Reece Tanguay (Essex Junction, Vt.) earned a bases loaded walk to plate Lyndon's second run. The next batter, Ian Sackett (Lyndon, Vt.) doubled the lead with a two-run single.

Hornets' freshman pitcher James Mundy (Brentwood, N.H.) went the distance for his fourth win of the season. He gave up three hits and struck out seven.

Freshman Andrew Clay (Hopkinton, N.H.) suffered the loss for the Chargers. He also threw a complete game and surrendered just four hits.

GAME 2 – LYNDON 6, COLBY-SAWYER 5

Lyndon scored a run in the first two innings on RBI singles from Ian Sackett and sophomore Andre Eason (Waterbury, Conn.).

The visitors doubles the lead in the top of the third with a run scoring single to left from junior Dylan Newton (St. Albans, Vt.) and when Sackett scored on a double play.

Reece Tanguay put the Hornets in front 5-0 in the top of the fourth with a sacrifice fly to left field.

The Charger bats came alive in the bottom of the fourth leading to four runs on four hits. Senior TJ O'Connor (Bethel, Maine), freshman Joey Fenuccio (Keene, N.H.), sophomore Nathan Frongillo (Haverhill, Mass.) and junior Jeff Dunn (Bellingham, Mass.) each knocked in a run.

Lyndon got one run back in the top of the sixth to take a 6-4 lead, but could've had more. With runners on second and third, Tanguay hit a ground ball to shortstop and was thrown out. As the baserunner from second tried to advance to third, the runner on third was not attempting to go home. Therefore, the Chargers put out the runner trying to make it back to second. The Colby-Sawyer catcher then got involved with the ball and chased the runner attempting to score back to third and tagged him out for the triple play.

Colby-Sawyer pulled within one in the bottom of the sixth with a sacrifice fly from freshman Matt McIntosh (Haverhill, Mass.).

After a scoreless top of the seventh, the Hornets brought in the closer for the final three outs. Colby-Sawyer would not go quietly as Jeff Dunn opened the innings with a bunt single. He then was moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and went to third on a ground out. Freshman Andrew Whalen (Cumberland, R.I.) was able to get the final batter on a strikeout to earn the save and the game in favor of Lyndon, 6-5.

Andre Eason went 3-for-4 with two RBI, while freshman Ryan Cordeiro (Rollinsford, N.H.) had two hits and scored three times.

Dunn and freshman Connor Henry (East Boston, Mass.) had a pair of hits for Colby-Sawyer. Dunn also threw two hitless innings of relief with one strikeout.
