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.
