Last Time Out
Saint Rose scored in four of the last five innings to upend host Assumption 8-3 in an NE-10 Southwest Division game Wednesday afternoon in Worcester, MA. The Greyhounds pulled to within 4-3 with a run in the seventh, but the Golden Knights answered with a pair in the eighth and two more in the ninth. Senior infielder/right-hander
Nick Polsinelli made the most of his first start of the year at his customary second base position by going 4-for-5 with three RBI. Meanwhile, freshman right-hander
Nick Venier came on with two outs in the seventh and stranded the potential tying run at third. Venier wound up allowing just one hit throughout 2.1 innings of shutout ball to collect his first collegiate save. Sophomore right fielder

had a pair of RBI base hits. Freshman shortstop Ryan Hooker
also drove in a pair of runs and senior southpaw Justin Brooks# allowed three runs on eight hits in 6.2 innings of work en route to the win.
