Baseball: Hawks Fall to Babson, 12-6

WELLESLEY, Mass. – The Roger Williams University Baseball team fell to Babson, 12-6, in nonconference play on Thursday afternoon.

Babson struck first in the bottom the first, as a wild pitch scored Ben Valente. The Beavers lengthened their lead to 2-0 in the second, when Zander Teator doubled to score Brooks Saft.

Sam Arcieri (Westwood, N.J.) got things going for the Hawks in the third with a solo home run, his third of the season, to shorten the deficit to 2-1. Babson responded in the bottom of the second with another run to bring their lead to 3-1.

The Beavers extended their lead to 5-1 in the fourth as Dante D'Avanzo and Dylan Drazka added a pair of one-run singles to center field.

In the top of the fifth, Jack Tubman (Bellingham, Mass.) broke the game open for the Hawks and launched a grand slam to level the score to 5-5.

Babson answered immediately in the bottom half of the inning, capitalizing on defensive miscues to plate two runs and regain the lead at 7-5. The Beavers then broke the game open in the sixth inning, scoring five runs highlighted by a three-run double from Dante D'Avanzo to extend the advantage to 12-5.

Roger Williams added one more run in the eighth inning on a solo home run by Danny Powers (Mansfield, Mass.), but could not mount a further comeback.

Offensively, Tubman led the Hawks with a 3-for-5 performance and four RBIs, while Arcieri went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored. Griffin Ruffner (Exeter, N.H.) also added two hits, and Casey DeLorenzo (East Greenwich, R.I.) chipped in a hit and a double.

On the mound, Hugh Cyhowski (Erving, Mass.) took the loss in relief. Michael Williams (Peabody, Mass.) started and allowed five runs over 3.1 innings, while the bullpen combined to surrender seven runs. Owen Scarice (Madison, Conn.) provided a bright spot with two scoreless innings to close the game.

Babson was led by D'Avanzo, who drove in five runs, while Teator and Robert Christensen each contributed key hits in the win.

Roger Williams (6-7, 0-1 CNE) will look to rebound as they host Nichols in doubleheader action on Saturday, Mar. 28 at 12pm and 3pm. Babson (6-7, 0-1 NEWMAC) will head to Coast Guard on Saturday, Mar. 28 for a doubleheader at 12pm and 3pm.
