DAVENPORT, Fla. — The No. 1 nationally ranked Endicott baseball team suffered its first loss of the season to Wisconsin-Stevens Point on Tuesday morning, 8-4.
WP (1-0): Nathan Krommenakker (Rudolph, Wis.) — 2.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
LP (0-1): Nicholas Cannata (Marlborough, Conn.) — 5.1 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
The Gulls jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third thanks to two doubles in the inning from Joey Frammartino (North Reading, Mass.) and Nicolas Notarangelo (Taunton, Mass.).
That score held until the top of the sixth, when the Pointers rallied for a seven-run frame.
Endicott got a run back in the bottom half with Brendan O'Neil's (Ponte Vedra, Fla.) team-leading fourth home run of the season.
The Gulls scraped across two more runs in the eighth and ninth innings, but were ultimately unable to catch up to the Pointers, dropping the game by an 8-4 score.
BEYOND THE BOX
- This was the first-ever meeting between the two teams.
- Notarangelo extended his hitting streak to six. With his two-for-five day today, he is now 6-11 with six RBI in the last two games.
- Brenden Walsh (Reading, Mass.) recorded his first career multi-hit game. He went two-for-three with an RBI and a stolen base for the Gulls.
- Notarangelo is now eight doubles away from tying Bryan Caruso '02's (Northfield, N.H.) program record 48 doubles.
