Albany took the lead in the first inning on an early single by
Joe Purritano (Dartmouth). The lead was supported by two more runs in the top
of the fourth. Tyler Orris (Millersville) scored on a wild pitch while Chris
Susek (Coastal Carolina) brought in the second run of the inning on a single to
center field.
The left handed Pilots starter Justin D’Amato (1-1, St. John
Fisher) pitched four innings allowing three runs on six hits while striking out
six.
The Dutchmen’s starting pitcher Sean Spicer (2-0, Baylor) held
off the battling Pilots only allowing four hits in five innings of work.
Helping Spicer earn the win was reliever Dylan Collett ((Keene State) who
pitched 3 1/3 allowing two runs on four hits with five strikeouts.

Taylor Hinshaw (Georgia College) broke out of a slump going
3-for-4 with two singles and a double. Along with Hinshaw, Jacob Russell had a
good night (University of Kentucky) continuing his hot streak earning two more
hits and an RBI.

awarded to Scott Matthews (Washington College). Hinshaw and Russell were the
team leaders in hits while the Dutchman’s Anthony Marks (Coastal Carolina) went
3-for-4 with Brian Ruhm, Albany’s second baseman adding a home run in the top
of the sixth.
