Baseball Blanks Eastern Nazarene, 4-0

BEVERLY, Mass. – The Endicott baseball team used five different pitchers to shut out Eastern Nazarene, 4-0, on Thursday evening in non-conference action at North Field.

Gulls' starter Kyle Wollman (East Berlin, Conn.) picked up the win (1-0) on five innings pitched, three hits, no walks, and two strikeouts. Meanwhile, the bullpen featured scoreless innings from Will Bryant (Cumberland, Maine), Alexander Mandrus (Acton, Mass.), Victor Molle (Peabody, Mass.) and Cooper Anibal (Bedford, N.H.) in respective order.

As a staff, Endicott only allowed three hits (Wollman, 3 | Bryant, 2) and one walk alongside five strikeouts (Wollman, 2 | Mandrus, 1 | Molle, 2).

The offense, on the other hand, featured a three-RBI day from Nickolas Perkins (Nashua, N.H.) and an RBI double via Kyle Brennan (Wallingford, Conn.).
