GAME ONE: Stonehill 5 (14-18, 12-4 NEC), Wagner 3 (14-19, 12-7 NEC)
How It Happened
Stonehill and Wagner were locked in a pitcher's duel early in game one, as Jimmy Gilleran and Colin Trizuto held both lineups hitless through the first three and a half innings.

The Skyhawks broke through in the fifth when Kacin Robinson led off with a double and later scored on an RBI single from Cam Morrison to give Stonehill a 1-0 lead.

Gilleran was dominant on the mound, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh before a fielding miscue and an RBI double by Matt Sutera tied the game at one.

Stonehill answered immediately in the bottom half, erupting for four runs. Ryan LeClair delivered a two-run single with the bases loaded, and a wild pitch added another run to extend the lead to 5-1.
