Saint Leo, Fla. (March 7) -- Four different pitchers combined to shutout Bentley on Friday afternoon at Southard Stadium on the campus of Saint Leo University. Andrew Long (Peabody, Mass.) picked up his first win of the season going six innings only allowing three hits and two walks. The win improves the Hawks to 3-5, while the loss dropped Bentley to 0-8.

A pitcher's duel through the first four and half innings, there was no score until the Hawks picked up the lone run of the game in the bottom of the fifth. After Evan Kelleher (Haverhill, Mass.) and Eric Simm (Salem, N.H.) singled to open up the inning, Kelleher was cut down at third on a fielder's choice. Simm moved up to third after an error and Adam Hussey (Danvers, Mass.) brought in the only run of the game on the next play.

The Hawks only mustered five hits on the day, with Dave Wirkus (Orange, Conn.), Matt Stone (West Roxbury, Mass.), and Ryan O'Rourke (Norwood, Mass.) picking up the other three hits for the Hawks besides Kelleher and Simm.

Three Saint Anselm relievers held the Greyhounds to just one baserunner over the final three frames. Kyle Lavin (Shelton, Conn.) threw a scoreless seventh, while Mike O'Rourke (Norwood, Mass.) fired a scoreless eighth with a pair of strikeouts. David Giarusso (Cranston, R.I.) came in to pick up the save, his second of the season, with no hits and a strikeout to his record in the ninth.

The Hawks return to the field tomorrow with a pair of games. The Hawks take on Bentley again at noon tomorrow, while the Hawks will meet with American International at 3 p.m.
