Fisher Baseball opens up Conference Play with two wins

Haverhill, MA – Fisher College Baseball continued its winning ways this past weekend as they beat Sunrise Conference opponent University of Maine at Presque Isle twice on Saturday, March 28. Fisher used a 5 run fifth, to take the first game 6-1 and belted two home runs in game two to win easily 12-0.

In game one, starting pither Sammy Luciano held UMPI to 1 run, 4 hits and striking out 5 over 7 innings in a complete game effort. Sophomores Mike Oliveira (Tewksbury, MA) and Kevin Ryan (Chesire, CT) help paced the Fisher offense (both were 2-3 at the plate) as they set the table for both junior Edwin Pena (Union City, NJ), who was also 2-3 with an RBI, and senior Eddy Delcarmen (Boston, MA) who had a clutch triple in the fifth inning.

Game two, however, was a different story. Fisher jumped all over UMPI pitching right away as they scored 8 runs in the first inning. Pena continued his season long trend of mashing the ball as he hit a 3 run Home Run and fellow classmate Zack Thompson (Salem, MA) finally broke out of his slump as he hit his first career home run, a 2 run shot over the brick wall in right. Sophomore Kevin Michael (Ipswich, MA)pitched 5 strong shutout innings, as sophomore Mark Dorso (Waterbury, CT) and junior Eddie Guererro (Boston, MA) combined to shutout UMPI, Fisher’s second shutout in as many days.

Fisher’s next game will be Tuesday, March 31st in Haverhill against Sunrise Conference opponent Vermont Technical College.
