Baseball Blanked by Lowell 3-0 Wednesday

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – The Merrimack baseball team dropped a 3-0 decision Wednesday afternoon at a frigid Warrior Field.

The first run came in the fourth as Luke Wallace hit a one-out single, went to second on an infield single by J.T Leary, advanced to third on a throwing error on Leary’s single, and scored, unearned, on a sacrifice fly from Matt Jacobs.

The Warriors managed just two singles, a fifth-inning single from Mike Andre and a sixth-inning hit from Andrew Johnson.

Chris Caron (1-3) took the loss for Merrimack, as the right-hander allowed an unearned run and three hits in four innings. Ryan McNeil allowed two eighth-inning runs but struck out two in five innings of relief. The Warriors stranded 11 River Hawks on the bases.

River Hawk starter Dan White hurled five innings of one-hit ball, earning his first win of the season and combined with Matt Monico and Dallas Nunes on the two-hit shutout.

Merrimack (10-10, 1-5 NE-10) is idle until Saturday when Stonehill visits Warrior Field for a doubleheader with first pitch of game one at noon.
