Rosa Dominates Rivier, Fisher Improves to 23-10

Boston, MA – Brian Rosa (New York, NY) pitched seven shutout innings as the Fisher Falcons snapped a three-game skid, defeating the Rivier University Raiders, 2-0, Monday night at Fraser Field in Lynn, MA. With the victory, Fisher improves to 23-10 on the season, while Rivier drops to 0-19.

The game remained scoreless for the first five and a half innings until Davidson Peguero's (West Roxbury, MA) two-out double broke the deadlock. The Falcons added an insurance run in the bottom of the seventh on a Yhothathan Santelises (Lynn, MA) sacrifice fly that drove in Edwin Herrera (Union City, NJ).

Peguero finished the night with two hits, and Adam Lucey (Malden, MA) and Spencer Hermann (Jacksonville, FL) each added a hit for the Falcons. 

Nelson Lopez (Brooklyn, NY) pitched the final two innings to complete the shutout and earn his first career save.

Rivier's Drew Neely (Lakeland, FL) pitched well for the Raiders despite the loss. The right hander went 6 and 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits. Neely managed one strikeout without allowing any free passes.

David Cusack (Newburyport, MA), Adam Arkell (Dover, NH), and John Ciarcia (Rindge, NH) each collected one of Rivier's three hits in the evening.

The Falcons return to action Thursday night when they host Framingham State University at Fraser Field. It will be the second meeting of the season between the Rams and Falcons, with Fisher winning game one, 7-4, on April 1. Rivier returns to the diamond Wednesday April 9 when they host Gordon College.
