Box Score Winter Park, FL - The Setters were defeated this morning 15-4 in their sixth of seven ballgames in the sunshine state of Florida. Pace fell to 6-6-1 on the season as they lost to NE-10 opponent Bentley University who improved to 6-8 overall.
Bentley got things going early in the top of the first inning, scoring one run on no hits. The Setters would however bounce right back scoring two runs in the bottom of the first on two hits. Chris Roemer (Ardsley, NY/Ardsley) (Ardsley, NY/Ardsley) started things off by singling to the pitcher, then quickly advancing to scoring position by stealing second base. Kenny Wright (Middle Island, NY/Longwood) (Middle Island, NY/Longwood) would come through in a big way, jacking a towering, two run RBI homer to right field.
The Falcons would quickly tie things back up at 2-2 in the top of the following inning on four total hits. The bottom of the third proved productive for the Setters as they recaptured the lead at 3-2 on three hits.
