Disheartening loss..but maybe a good one to rev them up and realize they are beatable. Game was lost in the 8th inning on a three-run blast...only the second homer all year for the Crusaders.

 

This team must regroup and go at least 4-2 (inlcuding the Cross loss) this week!

Holy Cross Tops Albany, 7-5

 

Worcester, Mass. - Holy Cross captured a non-conference win over Albany, 7-5, at Fitton Field on Tuesday afternoon. The Crusaders improved to 8-19-1 overall, while Albany fell to 22-5 overall. Sophomore Tucker Frawley (New Haven, Conn.) launched a three-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to give HC the win. It was just the Crusaders second home run of the season. The Crusaders ended the Great Danes six-game winning streak and was just their 2nd loss in their last 18 games.

 

The Great Danes took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Derek DeGrazio doubled in Kirt Zimniewicz. Albany extended its advantage to 3-0 in the fourth inning when Dan Schoonmaker led off the inning with a triple and was driven in on a double by Zimniewicz. After a sacrifice fly moved the runner along, DeGrazio singled in the third Albany run. The Great Danes added another run in the seventh inning, on an RBI single from Joe Lamb.

 

Holy Cross rallied in the bottom of the seventh starting with a triple by junior Drew Bigda (Stamford, Conn.) and an RBI single by senior Chris Doneski (Billerica, Mass.). After a pitching change, Doneski scored on a wild pitch, and was followed by back-to-back RBI singles from sophomore Mike Marron (Huntingdon Valley, Pa.) and junior Mike Schell (Newtown, Pa.) to tie the score at 4-4. After the Crusader's three-run eighth inning, Albany rallied with a run in the top of the ninth, but could get no closer. Holy Cross' pitcher Scott Hampe (Dedham, Mass.) picked up his second win of the season, going one and two-thirds innings giving up two hits and one run.

 

Holy Cross will travel to Hanover, N.H. on Wednesday afternoon to face Dartmouth. Game time is scheduled for 3:00 p.m.

Bad loss for Albany. Unfortunately, the Danes will have to be almost perfect from here on out to have ANY chance of an NCAA at-large berth. You're still in good shape to win the AE regular season and be the #1 seed for the AE tourney though.
