Eagles Swept In Season Opener To R.I. College
 

Tampa, Fla. – The 2008 edition of the Daniel Webster Baseball team kicked off today with a double header loss to Rhode Island College 15-2 and 14-5.

Senior Right Hander Aaron Freedman (Randolph, Mass.) took the hill in game one going 4 2/3 innings while allowing 11 runs. He was followed by Joe Tamulonis (Woodstock, N.H.) who got the last out of the 5th and then by Freshman Colby Torres (Dighton, Mass.) who closed out the game. The offense was lead by Catcher Charles Manning (Riverside, R.I.), who went 2-3 with 2 singles. Also getting hits in game one were Torres, Zach Cantor (Windham, Maine), Nick Michaud (Windsor Locks, Conn.), Trevor Duggleby (Nashua, N.H.) and Joe Welsh (Litchfield, N.H.).

Game two started with the Eagles taking an early 3-0 lead after 2 innings thanks to RBI’s from Rob Leary (Litchfield, N.H.) and Dan Dumenigo (Dighton, Mass.).

Tamulonis pulled double duty by getting the start in game two and going 3 innings while allowing two runs. After the 2nd inning though, runs and hits were tough to come by for the Eagles as the RIC pitching staff stiffened up and shut them down for most of the rest of the game. Rob Leary capped off the scoring for Daniel Webster with a solo Home Run to left center to lead off the 5th , finishing the game 2-3 with 2 RBI’s.

The Eagles look to get into the win column tomorrow with a double header against Cazenovia College, with the first pitch at 10 a.m.
