THE LEAD:
 
The University of Hartford baseball team split its doubleheader with the Maine Black Bears on Saturday afternoon at Fiondella Field.
 
Freshman Nicholas Dombkowski pitched eight shutout innings, only giving up five hits while striking out six, while sophomore Bryce Walker's solo shot in the eighth inning gave the Hawks giving the Hawks game one.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
 
Game 1
  • The Hawks and Black Bears were engaged in a pitcher's duel, as Dombkowksi and Maine's Nick Silva (7.2 innings, 5 hits and 1 earned run) only giving up eight hits combined through seven innings.
  • One swing of the bat from Walker put the game in the Hawks favor, ripping his second home run of the season to right, putting the Hawks up 1-0 before junior Seth Pinkerton locked down the Black Bears in the ninth, sealing the game for the Hawks.  
 
Game 2
  • The Hawks jumped out to an early lead in the second game, as Walker, junior Ashton Bardzell, and Junior Chris Sullivan all earned one-out walks in the first inning to load the bases. Senior TJ Ward capitalized on the opportunity, as a grounder to the shortstop was bobbled, scoring Walker giving the Hawks an early, 1-0 lead.
  • Maine responded in the second, after a leadoff triple they by Brandon Vicens, Kevin Doody drove him in with a dribbler to the pitcher to knot the game up a one.
  • The Black Bears added two more in the third off an RBI single and two-run double, before adding one in the sixth and two in the seventh, taking a 6-1 lead.
  • The Hawks wouldn't go away quietly, though, as redshirt-junior Cam Belliveau and freshman John Thrasher both recorded one-out singles, but the Black Bears kept the threat at bay to take the 6-1 decision.
 
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
  • Dombkowski earns the first win of his collegiate career in game one while Pinkerton recorded his second save of the season.
