The Suffolk University and Norwich University Baseball teams split a Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) double header on Saturday afternoon. Suffolk put together a 15-hit offensive attack in the opener to take a game one victory, 12-4. Sophomore Brian Whaley (St. Louis, Mo.) would quiet the Suffolk bats in game two though throwing a complete game four-hitter for his first victory of the season on the mound in a 5-3 Norwich win.
Five Suffolk players recorded a multi-hit contest in the opener in a 12-4 victory. Senior Devan Jones (Roslindale, Mass.) led the way going 3-for-3 with a pair of runs scored and an RBI.
Freshman Luke Ronchi (Randolph, N.J.) hit his second home run of the year to lead off the fourth inning to make it a 6-1 contest.
Game Two
Norwich took game two 5-3 behind Brian Whaley, who earned his first victory of the season on the mound for the Cadets.
Schaub would continue his hot streak at the plate when he belted his first home run of the season to left, a two-run shot to make it a 4-0 game.
Jones would make it a 4-3 game in the sixth inning as he led off with a solo homer, his second of the season but that was as close as Suffolk would get.
The split leaves Norwich at a 5-10 overall mark on the season and 3-6 record in GNAC play.
Suffolk hosts Johnson & Wales University at noon at Adams Field in Quincy.
