Baseball Falls to UMass Lowell, 6-0
April 12, 2017 | Baseball
AMHERST, Mass. – Four errors proved costly as University of Massachusetts baseball dropped a 6-0 decision to UMass Lowell at Earl Lorden Field on Wednesday afternoon. The loss leaves the Minutemen at 7-18 on the season, while the River Hawks move to 16-12.
UMass Lowell scored four runs over the first three innings on just one hit. Chris Sharpe reached on an error to lead off the game and moved up two bases on a failed pickoff that went wide of first. Sharpe then crossed the plate while Oscar Marchena was caught in a rundown between first and second after drawing a walk. Then in the third, the River Hawks scored three more via an error, a wild pitch and an RBI groundout from Colby Maiola.
Sharpe later doubled and scored UMass Lowell's fifth run in the top of the fifth and drove in the squad's sixth run in the ninth with a double down the left field line.
The Minutemen managed five hits, all singles, on the day, but stranded multiple runners in the fourth, sixth and seventh innings. Freshman Eddy Hart finished the contest 3-for-4 at the plate.
Sophomore Connor Donahue started for UMass and took the loss (0-3), allowing four runs, one earned, on one hit over three innings with four walks and four strikeouts. River Hawks' starter Conor Metelski went five scoreless innings and let up two hits with two walks and five strikeouts to record the win (1-0).
The Minutemen will be back in action tomorrow, April 13, when the squad will play host to Saint Louis in game one of the squads' Atlantic 10 series at 3 p.m. at Earl Lorden Field.
