Box Score WALTHAM, Mass. – The Brandeis University baseball team matched their longest winning streak in 13 years today as the Judges defeated visiting Roger Williams University, 8-4, for their seventh win in a row. The Hawks fall to 11-16-1.

Brandeis starter Liam Coughlin (Townsend, Mass./Lowell Catholic) went 7.2 innings and allowed four runs – three earned – on just four hits to improve to 3-1 on the season. He struck out three and walked one.It was a career-long outing for Coughlin and marked the second time this season he allowed four or fewer hits in an outing of at least six innings. After Coughlin hit a batter, saw a run score on an error, and issued a walk in the eighth, he was pulled in favor of Healy. Healy earned his fourth save of the season by striking out a batter to end the eighth and working around a one-out single in the ninth. His four saves are the most in a season by a Brandeis pitcher since 2011. For the Hawks Sam Bennett (Andover, Mass./Andover) was effective in relief, allowing six hits and just one earned run in 6.2 innings of work. Bennett retired 15 out of 16 Brandeis hitters between the third and seventh innings.

Roger Williams scored a single run in the third inning on a one-out triple by shortstop Kevin Baker (Wilbraham, Mass./Minnechaug Regional) and groundout by catcher Chris Bosco (No. Andover, Mass./No. Andover). Bosco and Baker hit back-to-back doubles in the sixth to plate the team's second run, while a Shawn Cariglio infield grounder two batters later scored Baker. Bosco scored his third run of the game in the eighth after getting hit by a pitch.

Eight of nine Brandeis starters had hits, led by Schaff's 3-4 performance, marking his second-straight three-hit game. Healy was the team's only other multiple hitter, going 2-4 with a run and a double. Healy's double was his 17^th of the season, most by a Brandeis player since 2011, and moving him into a four-way tie for sixth on the career single-season list. With today's double, Healy is two behind the school single-season record of 19, held by four players, most recently Zach Golden '05 in 2005. Bosco led the Hawks attack, going 2-3 with a double and triple and scoring three of the team's four runs.

The Hawks are back at it Friday, April 22^nd  at 2:30PM in Quincy, MA as they take on Eastern Nazarene in a CCC double header.
