HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • Nichols took a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning as junior Ben Jerome (Waterford, Conn.) drew a bases-loaded walk and Miller hit a two-out, two-run double.
  • The third inning saw Wentworth get on the board as sophomore jake Prisco (Bridgewater, Mass.) led off with a walk and oved to second on a single from junior Christian Peruzzi (Plymouth, Mass.). Freshman Matt Robinson (Mystic, Conn.) singled in Prisco and moved Peruzzi to third.  Junior A.T. DiPina (Pawtucket, R.I.) reached on a fielder's choice, however, Peruzzi was out trying to score. A double play ended the Leopard threat.
