FLUSHING, N.Y. (Mar. 9, 2020) - The Queens College baseball team welcomed top-ten Southern New Hampshire to Hennekens Stadium on Monday (Mar. 9) as the Knights looked to rebound from a disappointing doubleheader sweep at the hands of Southern Connecticut a day prior. Unfortunately, the Penmen showed why they are the top-ranked team in the East Region according to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) with an 11-3 takedown of the Knights.

SNHU improved to 11-4 on the year with the win while Queens fell to 4-7 with the defeat.

The visitors opened the scoring with a run in the second and the third off of Brandon Hoskins, who went three innings and yielded just those two runs on four hits with a strikeout. However, the Penmen scored seven runs in the top of the fourth inning with Dakota Mulcay slamming a three-run home run to right field to put the punctuation mark on a forgettable inning for QC reliever Dimitri Papazoglou. Queens did not break the shutout until the bottom of the seventh inning on an Eric Roubal sacrifice fly that scored Colin Diez. The two created another run in the bottom of the ninth on an RBI ground-out by Roubal with Brian Wright singling home Louis Antos later in the frame to provide the final margin.

Antos was 4-for-4 on the afternoon as the reigning East Coast Conference Player of the Week also took a turn on the pitcher's mound, recording a strikeout in relief. Wright also pitched a scoreless inning of relief in the contest while Diez stole four bases as the Knights swiped seven bags in total for the game. 

Queens returns to action on Saturday (Mar. 14), hosting Saint Rose in a doubleheader in Flushing beginning at 12 p.m.
