Game One – Lyndon 6, Colby-Sawyer 4
Colby-Sawyer started the scoring in the bottom of the first when sophomore Doug Avellino
(Woodstock, Vt.), who reached on a double, came around on an error.
Lyndon took the lead in the next half inning with a pair of runs. Andre Eason Jr. (Waterbury, Conn.) walked to begin the frame and eventually scored on a misplay later in the inning. Sophomore Jake Jourdain (Becket, Mass.) also had an RBI single in the frame.
The Chargers knotted the game in the third on an RBI single from sophomore Connor Henry (East Boston, Mass.).
The visitors put four on the board in the fourth with the big hit coming from sophomore David Laroche (Franklin, Vt.). With runners on second and third, Laroche hit a two-run single to center to put the Hornets back in front 4-2. Devon Rollins (Winooski, Vt.) knocked in the third run of the inning with a hit to left and was then involved in a double-steal that scored Kevin Tufo (Colchester, Conn.).
Colby-Sawyer would add single runs in the bottom of the fourth and fifth on RBI singles from Avellino and Brendan Thurber (Ashland, Mass.), but could not complete the comeback.
Freshman Ben Rollins (Lincolnville, Maine) tossed six innings and did not allow an earned run to earn his second win of the season for Lyndon. Sophomore reliever Andrew Whalen (Cumberland, R.I.) got his third save with a scoreless inning of work.
Junior Chris Mitchell Jr. ( Avon, Mass.) took the loss for the Chargers going 3.1 innings. Sophomore Andrew Carbone (Lynnfield, Mass.) pitched the remaining 3.2 innings and gave up just one hit.
Lyndon's Ryan Cordeiro (Rollinsford, N.H.) went 3-for-3 with two runs scored to lead the team.
Avellino and junior Nathan Frongillo (Haverhill, Mass.) had two hits apiece for Colby-Sawyer.
Game Two – Colby-Sawyer 8, Lyndon 2
The Chargers received a great pitching performance from senior Mike Bowse (Merrimack, N.H.) in the night cap. The right-hander threw a complete game with four strikeouts and did not allow an earned run to register his third win of the season.
After Lyndon took a 1-0 lead in the first on an RBI double from Aaron Catalani (Colorado Springs, Colo.), the Chargers scored seven unanswered runs with three in the second and four in the fourth.
Freshman Liam Datres de la Blotier (Shelburne Falls, Mass.) knocked in a pair in the third on a single to right and was followed by a perfectly executed suicide squeeze from Tim Donovan (Litchfield, N.H.) that scored Brendan Thurber.
Datres de la Blotier added another run scoring hit in the fourth. Jackson Musco (Litchfield, N.H.) had a two-RBI single to center and then scored on a single to center from Drew Inglesi (Franklin, Mass.).
Each team would get an unearned run in the sixth, but Bowse closed the door in the seventh for the 8-2 victory.
Cordeiro added two more hits to give him five on the day to lead Lyndon.
Datres de la Blotier finished 2-for-2 with three RBI and a walk to lead Colby-Sawyer. Musco and Henry also had two hits apiece for the Chargers
