Saturday - Game 2: Lyndon 9, Farmington 4

UMaine-Farmington could not carry that momentum into the nightcap, and Lyndon salvaged the split with a 9-4 win in Game 2.

Lyndon's four-run uprising in the fifth inning put the Hornets in front, 5-2, in game two and provided a lead that Lyndon would not relinquish. Chris Sevigney's (Lowell, Mass.) two-out, three-run triple to right center keyed the inning, after three previous batters reached on a hit-by-pitch, an error, and a walk.

UMaine-Farmington got one run back in the bottom of the fifth, but Lyndon added two runs in both the sixth and seventh innings to secure the win.

Ian Sackett (Lyndonville, Vt.) allowed three earned runs on five hits with two walks, but was credited with the win for the Hornets. UMaine-Farmington starter Kyle Peterson gave up just three hits and fanned five Hornets, but was on the hook for five runs, only one earned, and took the loss.

Keene, Hisler and Tom Grady all had three hits to pace the Beavers to a 13-5 win over Lyndon in the first game of Sunday's North Atlantic Conference baseball doubleheader.

Keene paced Farmington at the plate in game two with two hits, while senior Brett Wallingford, Mark Leahy, and Neal each had one hit.
