Junior second baseman Zack Thomas lined a two-out single to left field to score the winning run in the top of the ninth inning as Eastern Connecticut State edged Montclair State, 5-4 in NCAA Division III Baseball action at Yogi Berra Stadium on Tuesday afternoon.
Thomas finished 3-for-5 with two RBI as the Warriors (10-6) won their sixth straight and gained a measure of revenge against the Red Hawks, who fell to 9-10 on the year. Last season, Montclair eliminated ESCU from the NCAA Division III World Series by the same identical score.
Junior third baseman Rob Clark belted a two-run homer for Montclair State, which still leads the all-time series between the teams who have won a combined seven national championships, 22-13.
Righthander Sam Iverson picked up the win in relief as he allowed a hit and one walk in two innings. Iverson evened his record at 1-1. Mendez suffered the loss to fall to 0-2 as he gave up the one run and two hits, striking out two. Joe Esposito went the first six innings for ESCU giving up four runs and six hits in six innings. Esposito struck out five and walked two. Montclair's Enrique Gomez fanned five and walked one allowing four runs (three earned) and 10 hits over the first seven innings.
