Five Saints had multi-hit games in the baseball team's 15-0 win over Bard in the first game of a Liberty League doubleheader on Sunday afternoon and starter Dan Hedden gave up just three hits in shutout win; his first of the season. Both of the Saints wins on the week came via a shutout.

The Raptors rebounded in game two with an offensive explosion of their own with a 22-6 win over St. Lawrence to earn the split.

The Saints built a 10-0 lead through the first four innings, including four runs in the top of the first. Taylor Digilio scored the first, and eventual game-winning run, after hitting a triple down the left field line and coming in to score on a ground out by Isaac Lewis in the Saints' next at bat. Two walks and three straight RBI singles from Devin Robson,
Kyle MacDonald and Erik Larsen pushed the lead to 4-0.

Mic Regan scored on a wild pitch in the second inning and back-to-back errors by the Raptors in the third helped to set up three more runs for St. Lawrence. A single through the left side by Digilio brought Larsen home for the sixth run and a two-RBI double by Michael LeFevre later in the inning scored both Digilio and Beau Yaremko to push the lead to 8-0.  

In the fourth, singles by Kyle MacDonald and Larsen and a sacrifice bunt by Yaremko put runners on second and third with one out and Regan at the plate. He hit an RBI single to center field to plate MacDonald and Digilio followed with a fielder's choice to shortstop that brought Larsen home as the Saints 10^th run.

The Saints added five more runs in the sixth inning to push to the eventual 15-0 margin.

Mic Regan, Taylor Digilio, Kyle MacDonald, Michael LeFevre and Erik Larsen each had multi-hit games in the win, with MacDonald leading the team with four hits and three RBI. LeFevre also had three RBI for St. Lawrence.

On the mound, Hedden did not allow a hit until the third inning and struck out five batters in the win. He relieved by Will Fellows who threw an inning and allowed a hit with two strikeouts. First-year Robert Iametti pitched the seventh inning and retired the Raptors in order to finish the game.

In game two, Bard carried a 1-0 lead into the fourth inning before scoring four runs in each of the next three frames for a 13-2 lead and put the game out of reach for St. Lawrence. A nine-run eighth for the home team gave the Raptors their 22 runs on the afternoon.

The Saints scored a pair in the top of the fifth on RBI singles by LeFevre and Robson, which at the time cut the Bard lead to 5-2. Robson homered to left center in the eighth for the Saints third run and Adam Reichel hit a bases-clearing triple in the ninth for the team's final three runs.

First-year Evan Reichel took the loss for the Saints, as he pitched four innings and allowed five runs (two earned) on seven hits. Jake Farrell, Matt Phelan, Alex Black, Robert Gates and Charlie Pacilio each made appearances in relief. Black threw an inning and a third of hitless ball and struck out two batters.

The Saints will play at Plattsburgh on Tuesday afternoon, with the first pitched scheduled for 4:00 p.m.
