CONCORD, N.H.—The Southern Maine Community College (SMCC) baseball team took both from the NHTI Lynx on Saturday, Sept. 29 on the road in doubleheader action.
Game 1: W, 7-5 | BOX
First-year Alexander Schepis (Waterboro, Maine) took the hill to contribute a scoreless four innings for the visiting SeaWolves in game one. First-years Robby Nadler (Somers, Conn.) and Cole Lawrence (Pittston, Maine) made relief appearances to combine for the final three innings.
SMCC scored all of its seven runs before the fifth inning to feature three RBIs from first-year Peter Stauber (Cumberland, Maine) and a 2-RBI triple from senior Sean Adams (Lebanon, Maine).
The Lynx pushed across four runs in the fifth inning and creeped closer adding another in the sixth. Garrett Purrington delivered the big hit for NHTI in the fifth, clearing the bases with a 3-RBI double, but it was too little too late as the SeaWolves held on to a two-run victory.

Stauber collected five hits in six at-bats, adding a RBI, stolen base, and three runs to his stat line. First-year Jacob Poole (South Portland, Maine) also strung together a multi-hit game to include two runs and an RBI.
