SUNDBERG PITCHES COMPLETE GAME SHUTOUT AGAINST FRANKLIN PIERCE

PLEASANTVILLE, NY- Freshman Brian Sundberg (Westbury, NY/WT Clarke) (Westbury, NY/WT Clarke) (4-1) led the Setters to a 1-0 Northeast-10 Conference win over the Franklin Pierce Ravens by tossing a complete game shutout.  The freshman only gave up four hits, two walks, and four strikeouts in his nine innings pitched.

The Setters improve to 12-23 overall, and 6-14 in the NE-10, while the Ravens fall to 26-11 overall and 12-5 in conference play this season.

The lone run in the ballgame came in the bottom of the first inning, when Kyle Turnier (Waterford, CT/Waterford) (Waterford, CT/Waterford) hit a double to left. Mike Torello (Cheshire, CT/Cheshire) (Cheshire, CT/Cheshire) would follow up by sending a double to center field which would drive in the only run of the ball game.

Franklin Pierce looked to cause trouble in the top of the ninth with runners on first and second, and one out, but Sundberg pitched out of trouble with fly outs to the outfield.

Despite the loss, Franklin Pierce's Brian Maloney (2-2) also tossed a complete game by giving up one run over eight innings, on four hits and eleven strikeouts.

The Setters will resume play on Friday, April 23 when they play Bloomfield College in non-conference action starting at 3 pm on Pace's Finnerty Field.
