Baseball Alumni top the Current Team, 13-9 in annual game

Alumni Game MVP Steve D'Entremont

Lynn, MA - The mark of a good, successful program is based on the alumni/graduates. The Fisher College Baseball team, now going into it's tenth season of play, has been quite dominant over the years. They have combined to win six Sunrise Conference titles, four NAIA Region X Championships and have made appearances in the Super Regionals/Play In Series six times.

On Sunday, October 10, 2010 the Alumni who started this impressive streak once again put on the blue and white and continued to dominate. The team was composed of Fisher legends, Fisher Athletics Hall of Fame members and a former professional ball player. The Alumni rallied from a 9-1 deficit in the fourth inning to defeat the current Falcon squad, 13-9.

"It is a great opportunity to see where this program came from and what we need to do in order to continue the tradition." said freshman Billy Lafferty (Haverhill, MA).

Evan Tardugno ('08/Methuen, MA) got the start for the Alumni and tossed four innings, allowing just three runs after a questionable call by umpire Brian Meikle (Sophomore/North Andover, MA). With runners at second and third and two away, Tardugno delivered a 1-2 pitch to sophomore Sammy Alejandro (East Hartford, CT) which was called a ball. Alejandro then walked and senior Mike Oliveira (Tewksbury, MA) lined a bases clearing double down the left field line to give the current squad a 3-1 lead.

They would extend the lead in the fourth as they pushed across four runs off of Alumni reliever John Jolley ('07/Stoughton, MA) to make it 7-1 in favor of the current squad. Patrick Shanahan ('10/Haverhill, MA) gave up two runs in his first inning of work, the fifth, and was able to strike out the side in the sixth.

In the top of the fifth inning, the Alumni team woke up and started to score some runs. Shanahan delivered an RBI base hit up the middle while Jose Reyes ('08/Bronx, NY) and Edwin Pena ('10/Union City, NJ) drove in a pair. However the MVP of the Alumni game belongs to Steve D'Entremont ('07/Haverhill, MA). He went an impressive 4-4 with a couple of clutch RBI doubles in leading the Alumni comeback.

"It's just one of those things," said D'Entremont after the win. "I haven't swung a bat in a while and I was just able to get that groove back right away. I am thrilled to be a part of such a huge win for the Alumni."

Ken Olisky ('06/Georgetown, MA) recorded the save as he pitched the final two innings for the Alumni team, Shanahan was given the win.

The other members of the Alumni team included Fisher College Athletics Hall of Famers Patrick Gaffny ('04/North Andover, MA), Jeremy Marion ('06/Pelham, NH), Joey Eugenio ('07/Lawrence, MA), Kyle Van Offeran ('07/North Andover, MA) and Patrick Holland ('07/North Andover, MA).

Canton, OH - It took a complete game gem by Ohio Dominican pitcher Nick Venditti to defeat Fisher College in game three of the NAIA Un-Affiliated Play In Series. Venditti tossed a perfect game. Nine innings, no hits, no walks, no one reached base.

Fisher College Head Coach Scott Dulin gave the ball to his senior ace Patrick Shanahan (Haverhill, MA). Shanahan dominated as he threw eight innings allowing the Panthers just four runs (two earned) on eight hits while fanning seven. This is the second NAIA Un-Affiliated Play In Series win for both Fisher College and Shanahan.

With the Falcons already ahead 1-0, Rushing stepped up to the plate. He then hit the 3-1 offering from ODU pitcher Zane Miller well over the center-field fence, scoring both junior Reynaldo Nunez (Santiago, Dominican Republic) and freshman Sebastiano Petruzzelli (Saugus, MA). Fisher continued to score four more runs to extend the lead to 8-0 after two innings of play.

Rushing was not done as he drove a 3-2 pitch over the trees in left field for a two run home run. Rushing finished the game going 2-for-4 with five RBI's and two Home Runs.

Also performing well in the game were junior Mike Oliveira (Tewksbury, MA) who was 2-for-4 with three runs scored out of the nine spot and senior Juan Eusebio (Union City, NJ) who collected two hits and two RBI's. Petruzzelli was 3-for-5 with a RBI while Nunez went 2-for-4 in the win.

Worcester State beats up on Fisher Baseball

Story courtesy of Worcester State College

Worcester, MA - Junior Paul Rodriguez (San Antonio, TX) went 3-for-3 with four runs and four RBIs to help propel Worcester State to a 21-1 triumph this evening over Fisher College in non league baseball action this evening at Assumption College. With the win the Lancers improve to 26-8-1 while the Falcons slip to 22-20.

All but one of the starting nine notched a hit as the Lancers hammered 18 hits.

Senior TJ Magnell (Leominster, MA), junior Corey McDonald (Hudson, MA), sophomore Tyler McElman (Marlboro, MA) and freshman Chris Creen (Worcester, MA/St. John’s) all recorded a pair of base knocks while Creen drove in four, McDonald crossed the plate four times and Creen along with Magnell finished with three runs apiece.

Third-year Reynaldo Nunez (Santiago, Dominican Republic) propelled Fisher as he went 2-for-4. The Falcons were held to just six hits for the entire game.

Sophomore Phil Recco (Concord, MA) hurled six shutout innings as he improved his season mark to 3-0. Recco fanned seven and yielded three hits while he walked one batter.

Worcester State went up 1-0 early on in the contest as Magnell reached on a leadoff bunt single before he moved to second on a throwing error by the shortstop as the defense failed to catch him stealing second. Magnell went to third on a ground out and he scored on an infield single by McDonald.

The Lancers then broke the game wide open as they batted around in the second. The eight-run frame was highlighted by a grand slam to right field by Creen and a two-run double by Rodriguez. The dinger was Creen’s fourth of the season.

The Blue and Gold would score four more in the third, five in the fourth and a trio of runs in the sixth. Freshman Shawn Trombley(Leominster, MA) and sophomore Ben Mullin (Burlington, MA) had the big hits as Trombley belted a two-run double in the fifth and Mullin tacked on a triple in the sixth that manufactured two runs.

Creen, McDonald and sophomore Devin Bussiere (S. Dennis, MA) pitched well in relief of Recco as they combined to allow three hits and one run. The trio struck out four and issued one walk.

Fisher scored their lone run off of Creen in the top of the seventh as Nunez led off the frame with a double. Nunez advanced to third on a ground out and then scored on a plated infield hit by freshman Denon Rushing (Palmdale, CA).

First-year Casey Reed (Ossipee, NH) only went 1 2/3 innings as he battled control issues. Reed came into tonight’s contest walking only six in 26 innings, but he walked four and gave up eight runs (seven earned) off of four hits while he struck out one batter. Reed is now 3-2 on the year.

After Reed departed seven more Falcons would be summoned out the bullpen. It wasn’t until junior Kevin Michael (Ipswich, MA) strung together 1 2/3 innings that he would team with senior Samuel Luciano (Union City, NJ) and classmate Rob Mondello (Haverhill, MA) to pitch 3 2/3 shutout innings.

The Falcon pen combined for four walks while they also recorded 10 punch outs.

Magnell along with classmates Ryan LaPrade (Leominster, MA), Kevin Hayes (Medford, MA), Nick Caparell (N. Attleboro, MA), Joey Lucier (Brockton, MA) and Mike Borowiec (Spencer, MA) were honored in a brief pregame ceremony for their contributions as seniors to the Worcester State baseball team.

The Blue and Gold will close out their conference schedule with a key MASCAC matchup against Bridgewater State on Saturday as they come back to Assumption for a 12 PM doubleheader. In earlier conference action, BSC split with Mass Maritime and Westfield State swept MCLA. The Owls (10-2 MASCAC) are now in first followed by Framingham State (9-3) while WSC and the Bears are tied for third at 8-4.

The top-seeded Fisher College opens up the double-elimination Sunrise Tournament at Frasier Field in Lynn on Friday when they entertain Vermont Tech at 12:30.

Freshman sensation 'paddles' his way to victory

Boston, MA - It has been a long road for freshman Sebastiano Petruzzelli. Growing up in his hometown of Saugus, MA, "Yano" would practice playing ping-pong on his makeshift table in his basement.

"I had a table growing up," said Petruzzelli after the win. "I remember that I had to put the table on top of a couple of banana boxes so I could play."

All of that hard work has finally paid off. A member of the Fisher College Baseball team, Yano took his swing from the plate and used it on the table. In the second annual Ping-Pong Tournament held by the wonderful resident assistants Joe Aniki and Hilary Ritter. Petruzzelli edged out last year's champion sophomore Gary Lunetta (North Andover, MA) by a final of 21-16.

"I never imagined winning this tournament. It's definitely a great feeling. Gary battled hard. He really did, but in the end... the best man won." exclaimed Petruzzelli when reached by phone.

Along with the bragging rights that he holds over the field of 16, Petruzzelli received a $60 gift card to Best Buy. Hopefully, Petruzzelli can trade that card for a quartet of legs for his table back home.

"It'd be nice to do that eventually, but for now those banana boxes are doing the job of a champion, like me!"

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

For all you Fisher Falcon Baseball fans, today's game that was supposed to be played at 4 pm on the MIT campus has been postponed. The game will be made up on Monday, May 3, 2010.

Fisher will travel to Worcester State College tomorrow to play a non-conference match up. Game time is set for 4 pm and the game will be played on the campus of Assumption College.

As always, check here for updates on your Fisher College Falcons!

Fisher beats Hesser College but not the Rain

Timmermeyer (above) received his first victory of the season

Bedford, NH - The Fisher College baseball team scored two runs in the top of the first as they beat Hesser College by a final of 4-0. The game was played inside of Merchantsauto.com Stadium, the home of the New Hampshire FisherCats (Double A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays). The game was called in the top half of the sixth inning with Fisher ahead 8-0. Since it was called due to weather, the score is reverted back to the end of the fifth.

Junior Reynaldo Nunez (Santiago, Dominican Republic) knocked in the eventual game winning run as he singled down the right field line that plated sophomore Gary Lunetta (North Andover, MA) and senior Zack Thompson (Salem, MA). The Falcons (22-19/11-1) would also score a single in the second and fourth innings. In the second, Lunetta singled to right which allowed freshman Jose Paulino (Lawrence, MA) to score the third Fisher run. Paulino would cross the plate again in the fourth when junior Mike Oliveira (Tewksbury, MA) hit a single to right-center field.

That would all the scoring Fisher needed as five pitchers combined for a shutout. Junior Mark Dorso (Waterbury, CT) started on the mound and pitched 2.0 hitless innings while striking out two. Sophomore Austin Brodie (Haverhill, MA) also struck out two batters in his inning of work. Senior Zack Timmermeyer (Lewiston, ME) was awarded the victory, his first of the season, as he recorded the last out in the fifth.

Fisher will travel across the Charles River as they will play at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Game time is set for 4 pm with junior Kevin Michael (Ipswich, MA) on the mound.
