Southern Maine Rolls Plymouth State 20-7

PLYMOUTH, NH  -  Senior Anthony Poole (South Portland, Maine) had four RBI and three runs scored on a 2-for-5 effort at the plate to lead the University of Southern Maine Huskies to a lopsided 20-7 win over the Plymouth State University Panthers in a Little East Conference baseball game Tuesday night at Parish Field.
 
Poole collected his first home run of the season as the Huskies pounded out 16 hits against the Panthers, including eight for extra bases. Sophomore Mike Anquillare (North Haven, Conn.) and junior Dylan Firmin (Stratham, NH) each had three hits. Anquillare was 3-for-5 with two runs scored and a pair of RBI, knocking a two doubles, while Firmin was 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBI.  Junior Kyle Douin (Augusta, Maine/Cony) had three RBI for the Huskies.

How It Happened:
  • After a scoreless first Firmin put USM ahead in the second with an RBI single through the right side, and Douin made it 2-0 in the third with a run-scoring single to center.
  • Husky starter Lucas Francis (Lisbon, Maine) kept the Panthers off the board through three innings, scattering a hit per each inning and not allowing a runner to advance past second.
  • The Huskies broke the game wide open in the fourth scoring nine runs on seven hits, two walks and a pair of hit-by-pitch plays to lead 11-0. Junior Chris Quigley (Halifax, Mass./Silver Lake Regional) started the offense with a two RBI single through the right side, and freshman Drew Scialdone (Amesbury, Mass.) and Firmin went for back-to-back doubles to close the scoring. Scialdone's ground-rule double drove in a pair of runs, while Firmin's double to the gap in right drove in the ninth run of the inning.
  • PSU broke up the shutout in the fourth as Owen Baum doubled to center for a 11-1 game, and following quiet top of the fifth from the Huskies, the Panthers cut their deficit to 11-4 with three runs.  The Panthers knocked five of their 13 hits in the game in the fifth for the three runs, including RBI singles from Sam Salvi and Danny Quinn.
  • USM put up another crooked number on the scoreboard with six runs in the top of six to lead 17-4. Four Huskies were hit by a pitch in the inning to give Southern Maine plenty of baserunners.  Anquillare picked up two of his three RBI in the game with a double down the left field line as one of two USM hits in the inning, while senior Jack LeBlond (Lewiston, Maine) had the other with an RBI single to right.
  • Salvi drove in another run for PSU in the bottom of the sixth to make it 17-5 with a run-scoring single to right, but USM scored three more times in the top of the seventh to lead 20-5.  Quigley had an RBI double to the gap in left, and Poole had a two-run home run to the gap in right for Southern Maine. In the bottom of the inning, the Panthers had back-to-back solo home runs off the bats of Quinn and Jackson Curtis but fell 20-7.
