In game one, Westfield freshman pitcher Jesse Vermeersch went the distance, giving up only three hits while striking out two
The Westfield State baseball team continued its dominance in the Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference by sweeping a doubleheader from Bridgewater State with a pair of one-run victories (4-3, 6-5) on April 22. Westfield is now 10-0 in conference play and 14-10 overall. Bridgewater is 4-4 in the conference and 13-10 overall.
In the second game, Westfield freshman Dave Glass pitched a complete game, allowing seven hits and striking out five and sophomore Scott McIntyre smoked a no-out, bases-loaded single up the middle to drive in the game-winning run in the last inning. McIntyre had four hits and two RBI in the twinbill, including an RBI double in game one. Westfield freshman second baseman Ben Wagner also had a big day at the dish. Wagner tallied five hits, including a double, and scored four runs in the doubleheader.
Heading into the final inning and down a run, Bridgewater center fielder Andrew Dillon smoked a two-out single to left field to knot the score at 5-5. But in the bottom half of the inning, Westfield quickly loaded the bases with singles by Mike Trachtenberg, Wagner, and Justin Parr. With the infield drawn in, McIntyre ripped a single up the middle to win the game - his teammates mobbing him as he came off the field.
Westfield outhit Bridgewater, 11-7. Wagner was 4-for-4 with a double and three runs scored. McIntyre and Trachtenberg both belted two singles. Bridgewater third baseman Mark Claffey was 2-for-3 with three runs scored. Catcher Kelly LaDow went - for-4 with two RBI.

Senior left-handed pitcher Jaime Soto scattered 10 hits and allowed three runs in a complete game victory, while collecting three hits and knocking in a pair of runs to lead the University of Massachusetts-Boston over visiting Southern Maine, 5-3, today in a Little East Conference game at Yetten Field in Waltham, Mass. The Beacons fall improve to 11-13 overall and 2-7 in LEC play, while the Huskies, who are ranked fourth in the New England region, fall to 17-7 and 6-3.
It seems only fitting after playing three games with football like scores, that the fourth game of the weekend Whitewater-Platteville series would end in a football-like tie. It took Mother Nature to stop the dizzying pace of run scoring after Whitewater won game one 15-13. Game two Sunday ended in a 6-6 tie when rain cooled down the hot bats and stopped the game after seven innings.
Thiel freshman starter Dave Graff tossed seven strong innings to help the Tomcats end an eight-game losing streak to Washington & Jefferson as they collected a 4-2 PAC baseball victory on Sunday afternoon at Packard Park. Graff tossed seven innings and allowed one run on eight hits to improve to 5-2 on the season. Chad Ulogar and Ben Cobler both collected three hits to lead the Thiel offense. Justin Benson was 3-for-4 at the plate for W&J. Senior third baseman Shaun Pfeil and junior rightfielder Matt Pellis both added a pair of hits. Sophomore Ian Poole saw his 11-game win streak to begin his collegiate career come to an end after taking the loss.
Millsaps cruised out to a 7-2 lead, held off five Oglethorpe runs in the bottom of the eighth and used an RBI-single from centerfielder John Pacillo with two outs in the top of the ninth to edge past the Stormy Petrels, 8-7, and advance to next week's SCAC Tournament in Georgetown, Texas.
