Stonehill: Stonehill presented Head Coach Patrick Boen with his 200th career victory on Tuesday evening in a 12-1 triumph over American International, as the eighth-year mentor has posted an overall mark of 204-141-2 during his tenure at his alma mater. Senior 2B Craig Audette (Raynham, Mass.) became the 12th player in Stonehill history to amass his 100th career hit with a second inning single in Tuesday's win over American International. Stonehill, winners of seven of its last nine outings, is 14-5 against NCAA Northeast Regional foes and has held conference foes to a .209 team batting average while posting a 1.86 earned run average in 12 league contests to date ? Franklin Pierce: The Ravens, ranked second in last week's NCBWA Division II Northeast Regional poll, has won a season-best six-straight and eight of nine after a 5-0 week. Junior Mike Chambers (Londonderry, N.H.) has hit safely in all 18 games for Franklin Pierce this season, matching the program's single-season hitting streak mark and establishing the school mark for a steak to start a season. Sophomore Garrett Olson (Norway, Maine) carries a 15-game streak into the week. Olson belted the first home run in the history of Dr. Arthur and Martha Pappas Field Thursday. He later added a second home run as the Ravens christened their new home with four homers in the 8-3 victory over Bentley. Sophomore right-hander Daniel Fournier (Worcester, Mass.) struck out a career-best 13 batters in the Ravens win over Merrimack on Sunday ? UMass Lowell: Sophomore pitcher Peter Nickerson has not allowed a run in 18 2/3 innings and pitched nine innings of shutout baseball Sunday in UML's 1-0 loss to Southern Connecticut (10 innings). The last run scored on Nickerson was in the fourth inning of UML's 8-2 victory at Bentley Saturday, May 26 ? Southern New Hampshire: Senior Chris Hart (Waterville, ME) had a 21-game hitting streak snapped during a doubleheader at Bentley last week. The streak ranks as the second longest in program history behind Scott Bilodeau's school-record 24-game hitting streak. Hart, who owns a career batting average of .336, stands just three hits shy of breaking Bilodeau's school-record for career hits. Hart has totaled 159 career hits, while Bilodeau totaled 161 from 1996 through 1999. Senior Mike Bernard (Derry, NH) recorded his 150th career hit during a 4-2 win at Assumption Sunday. He ranks sixth in career hits (150). Senior Ray Powers (Stoneham, MA) stands two hits shy of 100 for his career. Powers has become just the third player in program history to record 30 or more career doubles ? Saint Anselm: On Saturday, freshman Nick Barese (Braintree, Mass./ Braintree) earned his first collegiate win with five innings of hitless relief in a 6-4 game two win over the Falcons ? Bentley: The control of senior RHP Tim Bryant (Reading, Mass.) has been amazing. He's issued only one walk in 42.2 innings this season, and going back to last season, only six in 109 innings ? American International: Senior Eric Boissy (Enfield, Conn.) notched his 100th career hit Thursday against Stonehill by going 3-for-5. In three years in a Yellow Jacket uniform Boissy is batting .308 with nine home runs, 34 doubles and 63 runs batted in ? Pace: David Qualben (Bronx, NY) stunned Southern N.H. with a complete game shutout on April 7th. Qualben allowed just two hits while tying the Pace all-time record for strikeouts in a nine inning game with 16. Qualben struck out 8 of the first ten batters faced and six straight from the second inning to the fourth. Earl Oakes (Bristol, CT) missed the first month of the season due to illness, but has emerged as the Setters stopper as of late. In three straight appearances, Oakes picked up the save. In 3 2/3 innings pitched, Oakes allowed two hits while striking out seven. In a game against Southern N.H., Oakes pitched the final two innings, allowing one hit while striking out five.
