Yale Edges Baseball 7-6 in Back-and-Forth Midweek Battle

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (April 23, 2025) – The Stonehill College baseball team dropped its midweek back-and-forth battle to Yale by a narrow 7-6 margin at Bush Field in New Haven, Connecticut Wednesday night. With the loss, the Skyhawks fell to 12-23 overall, while the Bulldogs improved to 23-12 on the season.

HIGHLIGHTS
  • Sophomore Grayson Sparr launched his seventh homerun of the season, improving his on-base streak to four straight games.
  • Sophomore Ryan LeClair extended his on-base streak to 11 consecutive games after going 2-for-4 on the day, while junior Aidan Cohall tallied his 11th multi-hit game of the season.
  • Freshman Tanyon Weber made his first collegiate start for the Skyhawks and held Yale off the board and without a hit over 2.0 innings of work.
  • Senior Tommy Martin led the Bulldogs at the dish, going 3-for-4 on the day with a double, two runs scored, and three runs batted in.
  • Freshman Alex Hwang picked up the win on the mound for Yale after striking out seven over 3.0 innings of relief.
HOW IT HAPPENED
After a scoreless opening frame from both teams, Stonehill broke the deadlock in the top of the second inning with a powerful swing from sophomore outfielder Sparr. Leading off the inning, Sparr launched the second pitch he faced over the left-centerfield wall, putting the Skyhawks on the board with a 1-0 lead.
 
Yale responded in the bottom of the inning, threatening to even the score after three of the first four batters reached base. With the bases loaded and just one out, Skyhawks pitcher Weber induced a clutch inning-ending double play to preserve the narrow Stonehill advantage.
 
The third inning saw an offensive surge from both sides, with each team plating three runs, allowing the Skyhawks to maintain a one-run edge heading into the fourth. However, Yale grabbed its first lead in the bottom of the fifth, capitalizing on a bunt single by senior Jeff Pierantoni and an RBI double from fellow senior Hayden Sobecki to go up 5-4.
 
The Bulldogs extended their lead with a run in the sixth, but Stonehill quickly answered in the top of the seventh. Senior Dylan Zemotel reached base after being hit by a pitch, followed by a single from LeClair. Both came around to score on a clutch two-run single to right field from Cohall, knotting the game at 6-6.
 
Despite the late-inning rally from the Skyhawks, Yale regained control in the bottom of the eighth and held on for a narrow 7-6 midweek victory. Senior Alec Atkinson sparked the inning with a leadoff double and was later driven in for the game-winning run following consecutive bunts by sophomores Kaiden Dossa and Garrett Larsen.
 
UP NEXT
Stonehill (12-23, 11-7 NEC) returns to Northeast Conference (NEC) action this weekend, hosting Delaware State University for a three-game series. First pitch of Friday's series opening doubleheader between the Skyhawks and Hornets is set for 12 PM.
