BEVERLY, Mass. — The Endicott baseball team defeated UMass Dartmouth, 13-2, in non-conference action on Wednesday evening at North Field.

Joseph Millar (Lake Hopatcong, N.J.) also blasted a two-run homer to right field, while Nicolas Notarangelo (Taunton, Mass.) and Kyle Grabowski (Westfield, Mass.) drove in a pair of runs, rounding out the list of notable performances.
