NASHUA, N.H. – Mitchell College came away with a split in a New England College Conference baseball doubleheader on Saturday afternoon against Daniel Webster College at Harvey Woods Field, dropping the first game 10-4 before bouncing back to win 11-0 in the second game.
Erick Bourdeau drove in three runs with a key sixth-inning double as part of a seven-run rally, and Costa Tingas went the distance on the mound for Daniel Webster in the opener. Bourdeau's big blow helped the Eagles (6-13, 3-6 NECC) dig out of an early 4-0 deficit. Tingas, meanwhile, allowed just two earned runs on six hits over 7.0 innings to improve to 2-1 on the season, striking out six and walking three.
In the nightcap, Mitchell sophomore starter Tyler Shamas was on top of his game, tossing a complete game three-hit shutout. He fanned eight without issuing a walk and faced only three batters over the minimum.

Manny Cabral and Dan Quinn picked up a pair of hits for the hosts in the opener with Quinn, Devin DeCarteret, Kyle Brigham, Dakota Williams and Clint Goodwin all driving in single runs.
Mitchell was paced by two hits from junior Gavin LaLima, who drove in a run, while sophomore Neftali Arroyo scored twice and knocked in one.
Mitchell struck for three in the top of the second and scored two unearned runs on just one hit, an Arroyo RBI double. LaLima connected for a two-out single in the fourth to score Arroyo for a 4-0 lead.
DWC got things going with three in the bottom of the third with two unearned as Quinn smacked a RBI double to right and Williams forced home a run with an infield ground out. Quinn later scored from third on a wild pitch.
Trailing 4-3 heading into the bottom of the sixth, the Eagles rallied by sending 11 men to the plate for seven runs on four hits and were aided by two Mitchell errors. A Goodwin RBI double tied it at 4-4, DeCarteret forced in a run with a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch, Brigham belted a RBI single and Bourdeau cleared the bases with his two-bagger to right.
Starter Al Jordan Johnson took the loss for Mitchell (1-3 overall).
Game 2 - Mitchell 11, Daniel Webster 0

Mitchell racked up 17 hits led by senior Marc Dorsi's 3-for-5 outing with three runs scored and four RBI that included a two-run single in the second. Senior Kenneth Olszewski went 3-for-5 as well and had a two-run triple in the second.
