WENHAM, Mass. - The visiting Seahawks of Salve Regina University swept a Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) twinbill at Gordon's J. Tec White Field this afternoon, downing the Scots 12-9 in game one before going on to capture a 5-3 victory in the nightcap to improve to 24-7 overall, 10-2 in conference on the season. With the losses the Scots move to 16-13, 5-7 in CCC play.

Joe Haley (So./North Kingstown, R.I.) and Tyler Colby (Jr./Easton, Conn.) recorded two RBIs apiece in the game-one victory for the Seahawks, while Sean Becker (So./Richmond, Va.), Dominic Di Sano (Jr./Central Falls, R.I.), Nicholas Dell'Anno (Jr./Reading, Mass.), Mark Boland (So./Orange, Conn.), and Anthony Conte (Jr./Georgetown, Mass.) added one each to the three-run win. Vincent Roth (Jr./Pleasant Valley, N.Y.)  improved to 4-2 on the year with the win on the mound.

For the Scots, Eric Rinaldi (Fr./Torrington, Conn.), Geoffrey Brown (Sr./East Moriches, N.Y.), and Eric Walker (Fr./Danvers, Mass.) booked two RBIs each in the losing effort and Brian Harrington (Sr./Shoreham, N.Y.), Alex Potocki (Fr./New Fairfield, Conn.), and Carlos Pichardo (So./La Romana, Dominican Republic) rounded out the Scots' scoring with one RBI apiece. Scott Hall (Fr./Weymouth, Mass.) took the loss for Gordon to drop his season record to 2-2.

Salve Regina took command of the game in the early going with four runs in the top of the second off Becker, Haley, Conte, and Di Sano RBIs and preserved that lead after retiring three straight from Gordon in the bottom half. The Seahawks then plated a single tally in the top of three off a Conte RBI and extended the lead further with six runs in the top of the next frame to establish an 11-0 advantage midway through the day's opener.

The Scots then broke their silence in the bottom half of the fourth when Brown ripped a two-RBI single to bring in Rinaldi and Potocki. Then after the Seahawks notched another run in the fifth when Di Sano scored off a Gordon error, the Scots got their bats going at the 11th hour for seven runs in the bottom of the final frame off RBIs from Walker, Harrington, Potocki, Rinaldi, and Pichardo to threaten the comeback. In the end, however, the Scots' rally fell short as Salve's Kevin Lambert (Jr./Fairfield, Conn.) closed out the game on the hill to secure the win.

Salve Regina once again got an early jump in game two when Matt Conroy (So./Philadelphia, Pa.) RBI doubled to score Dell'Anno and Ryan Kelly (Fr./Waldwick, N.J.) sac flied to left to score Conroy for the 2-0 lead in the top of the second inning. The Scots responded immediately to overtake the lead in the bottom half of the same frame when Walker two-RBI doubled to plate Pichardo and Potocki and Ben Davidson (Sr./Sterling, Mass.) also RBI doubled to bring in Walker to make it a 3-2 ballgame.

Determined to sweep the day, however, the Seahawks scored a pair of runs in the top of the third and a lone tally in the top of the sixth off a Colby RBI single to earn all the advantage they would need for their 10th CCC win of the season.

Kyle Pheland (So./North Scituate, R.I.) improved to 6-1 after pitching a three-run complete game for the Seahawks, while Jacob Syed (So./Niskayuna, N.Y.)  is tabbed with the loss for the Scots.

The Scots return to play tomorrow at J. Tec White Field as they welcome the Leopards of Wentworth Institute of Technology for a 2 p.m. start. Salve Regina will travel to Curry tomorrow for a 12 p.m. opening pitch.
