Baseball Bounces Back with 11-4 Win in Game Two Against Coppin State

HANOVER, Md. (May 3, 2025) – The Stonehill College baseball team bounced back with an 11-4 victory over Northeast Conference (NEC) opponent Coppin State University Saturday afternoon at Joe Cannon Stadium in Hanover, Maryland. With the win, the Skyhawks improved to 17-25 overall and 15-8 in conference play, while the Eagles fell to 14-28 overall and 12-11 against conference opponents.
 
HIGHLIGHTS
  • Freshman starter Hunter Bell picked up his fourth win of the season after pitching a career-high 8.2 innings and striking out six batters.
  • Senior Sam Parks drove home a team-leading three runs on the day for the Skyhawks, while senior Taylor Gaspar helped plate a pair for the 11th time this season.
  • Sophomore Aidan Sengenberger led Stonehill at the dish, going 3-for-3 with two walks, a triple, two runs scored, and a RBI.
  • Sophomore Ryan LeClair improved his on-base streak to 18 games after going 3-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored, and an RBI.
  • Sophomore Grayson Sparr and graduate student Jack Thorbahn registered their respective 14th and 12th multi-hit games of the year.
  • Junior Jayden Asencio recorded the lone extra-base hit on the day for Coppin State.
  • Junior Jobe Olson got the start on the mound for the Eagles and struck out four batters over 5.0 innings of work.
HOW IT HAPPENED
After a scoreless first inning on both sides, Stonehill broke through in the top of the second, plating three runs to take the early lead. The first two runs came on a defensive miscue at shortstop, allowing Sengenberger and Sparr to come around and score. Junior Sean McGee capped the inning by driving in a run after being hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, extending the Skyhawks' lead to 3-0.
 
Stonehill added to its advantage in the third. Thorbahn delivered an RBI double, followed by a run-scoring triple from Sengenberger, pushing the lead to 5-0. Coppin State responded promptly in the bottom half of the inning, narrowing the gap with three runs. Junior Gavin Grutzmacher was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, and the Eagles added two more on an infield groundout by senior Anthony Divittorio and a sacrifice fly from senior Daniel Moore.
 
Following the early scoring flurry, both starters—Bell and Olson—settled in, each allowing just two hits over the next two innings to keep the offenses in check. Stonehill regained momentum in the sixth and eighth innings as LeClair came around to score twice on a pair of sacrifice flies by Parks, stretching the lead to 7-3 entering the bottom of the eighth.
 
The Skyhawks put the game out of reach in the top of the ninth, adding three more runs. Gaspar drove in two with a double, LeClair added an RBI single, and Parks executed a sacrifice bunt to complete the inning's scoring. Coppin State pushed across one run in the bottom of the ninth, but it wasn't enough, as Stonehill secured an 11-4 victory in game two of the series.
