  • Salem State threatened in the top of the seventh with two outs.  Luke Eggers singled to left and Kyle O'Connor followed with a single putting runners on first and second.  Hodgson was able to induce a ground out for the final out of the inning.
  • Senior Matt Fogarty (Millis, Mass.) walked on four straight pitches to lead off the bottom of the seventh.  After an out Fogarty moved to second on a wild pitch and third on a ground out.  Junior Cory Caraher (Plymouth, Mass.) followed with an RBI single up the middle giving the Rams the walk off victory.
