LYNN, MASS. - The Fisher College Baseball wrapped up their four-game weekend series with Briarcliffe College this afternoon, dropping game one 7-1 and battling back in the finale with a 3-2 victory. 

GAME ONE: Briarcliffe 7, Fisher 1 (Final)

After working all morning long to get the field in playing condition, the Fisher Falcon defense came out flat as Braircliffe College became the first team to beat the Falcons at Fraser Field.

Sophomore Casey Reed (Ossipee, NH) was the tough luck loser as he allowed just one earned run (four total runs) over his five innings of work. Freshman Victor Lebron (Union City, NJ) gave up three runs, two earned, in his inning of work while classmate Izzy Velez (Avon, MA) pitched a perfect seventh inning.

Senior Jose Rodriguez (Clermont, FL) and sophomore Sebastiano Petruzzelli (Saugus, MA) continue to swing the bats well as they each went 2-for-3. Junior Mike Flynn (South Pasadena, CA) received the only Fisher RBI as he lifted a sacrifice fly in the seventh.

Fisher now drops to 15-23 overall on the season. This was the first loss that Fisher has received at Fraser Field since the team moved in to the historic ballpark in 2009.

GAME TWO: Fisher 3, Briarcliffe 2 (Final)

ophomore Sebastiano Petruzzelli (Saugus, MA) singled home senior Reynaldo Nunez (Santiago, Dominican Republic) in the fourth inning for Fisher's third run as the Falcons took game two, 3-2 from Braircliffe College.

Briarcliffe would make the game interesting as they were able to score a run off of Fisher College starter Aaron McGinness (Phillips, ME) in the sixth inning. Reliever Raidel Vela (So./Tampa, FL) was able to end the inning due to Runner's Interference. A line drive hit the base runner running from first to second which resulted in an automatic out.

Senior Kevin Michael (Ipswich, MA) came on to pitch the seventh. Normally a starting pitcher, Michael earned his first save of the season as he allowed just one unearned run while striking out two.

Freshman Davidson Peguero (Boston, MA) was the only Falcon to record multiple hits as he went 2-for-3 in the game with a RBI. He knocked in the game's first run with a double down the right field line in the first that scored junior Gary Lunetta (North Andover, MA). Lunetta went 1-for-3 at the plate as well as Nunez, Petruzzelli and freshman Victor Lebron (Union City, NJ).

Fisher, now 16-23 on the season, will enjoy a day off tomorrow (Mon. 4/18) before they host Fitchburg State University on Tuesday night. Earlier this season Fitchburg State was able to outslug Fisher in a 15-11 game back on April 6th.
