AMHERST, Mass. – Senior Scott LeSieur allowed only six hits and recorded a career high seven strikeouts over six complete innings in his start and the offense pounded out 16 hits to help lift University of Massachusetts baseball to a 10-6 victory over Stonehill College on Wednesday afternoon at Earl Lorden Field.
The win improves the Minutemen to 12-30 overall, while the Skyhawks drop to an overall record of 10-32.

Tichy and Skagerlind both added two runs, while Tichy tallied four RBI on the day. Jack Peters recorded a career high three RBI and registered two hits and one run, marking the first hit and run of his career. Will MacLean, Mike Gervasi and Jake Given totaled one RBI apiece, and six Minutemen contributed a run to UMass' total. Tichy, Gervasi and Justin Blumenthal recorded doubles, as Skagerlind and Carter Hanson had one stolen base each.
LeSieur (2-0) earned his second win in his third start for UMass, going six innings and allowing only six hits with no earned runs and no walks.
Massachusetts got the bats going early, as the Minutemen put up four runs in the first frame. Skagerlind led off with a walk, before advancing to second on a passed ball. MacLean brought Skagerlind home on a RBI single. Tichy hit his 10th long ball of the season to score him and MacLean and make it a 3-0 game. Gervasi followed the homer with a double to left center field. A two-out, RBI single to center field by Given helped Gervasi bring the score to 4-0.
UMass headed into its half of the second starting at the top of the order, as Skagerlind hit a single to the shortstop, and then stole second. Tichy doubled down the left field line, driving in Skagerlind and extend the Minutemen's lead to 5-0. A RBI single from Gervasi aided Tichy to cross the plate and give Massachusetts a 6-0 lead.
The Minutemen notched another run in the third on a single up the middle by Peters, marking his first hit of the year, bringing Hill around to the dish. In the fifth, UMass held an 8-0 lead as Peters came across home plate on Tichy's RBI single up the middle.

In the bottom half of the eighth frame, UMass took back two runs to claim a 10-6 lead. Hanson singled with one out, before stealing second.
