EASTHAM, Mass. (March 9, 2002)
- It marks the earliest season-opener in program history,
but the Franklin Pierce University
pitching was at its best
as FP
rolled to a pair of wins in the 2002 Cape Cod Classic
at Nauset Regional High School this afternoon.
Junior righthander Chris Shank
(Westminster, Mass./Oakmont Regional) fired a no-hitter
to lead FP
to a 10-0 win over Framingham State College
to start the day off. Shank (1-0) struck out 11 and walked
just two in the seven-inning complete game outing.
Freshmen Eric Cavers (Otisfield,
Maine/Oxford Hills) and Bear Dunn (Charlton,
Mass./Shepherd Hill) had successful debuts for FPC.
Cavers sparked a two-run sixth inning with his first career
homerun and finished the game hitting two-for-four with
two RBIs. Dunn helped FP
break open a 3-0 game as his two
run double sparked a three-run fourth. He hit 2-3 with a
double, triple and three RBIs.
Senior Scott Loiseau (Worcester,
Mass./St. Peter Marian) was 2-3 with two doubles
and two runs scored.
Senior Chris Hendricks suffered the
loss (0-1) for Framingham State as he yielded six runs,
five earned, on seven hits with one strikeouts and three
walks in four innings of work.

Jon White fanned a career-high
14 batters to lead FP
to their second win of the
afternoon |
In game two for Franklin Pierce,
junior righty Jon White (Medford, Mass./Arlington
Catholic) fanned a career-high 14 batters as the
Ravens posted a 7-1 victory over Saint Michael's College.
White (1-0) went the distance in
the eight-inning game as he allowed one earned run on five
hits and just one walk to go with the 14 strikeouts.
Loiseau helped break a scoreless
tie in the third, when he stroked an RBI triple that scored
sophomore Greg Basile (Suffield, Conn./Suffield).
Loiseau later scored on another triple off the bat of junior
Paul McAuliffe (Foxboro, Mass./Foxboro).
With hits in the two games, Loiseau
extended his school-record hitting streak to 20-games, which
dates back to last season. He finished the nightcap hitting
2-4 with the triple and RBI.
Saint Michael's closed the gap to
3-1 in the bottom half of the third as freshman David Deyo
doubled and scored on an RBI single by senior Juan Montanez.
The Ravens broke the game open in
the fourth with three more runs as an RBI double by senior
Eric Burney (Rockville, Conn./Rockville)
scored Cavers and Mike Callahan (Worcester, Mass./St.
Peter Marian).
Dunn had another solid game as he
hit 2-2 with two doubles and a run scored for FP
in the
nightcap.
Sophomore Richard Dailey suffered
the loss (0-1) for the Purple Knights as he allowed three
earned runs on five hits with no walks and four strikeouts
in three innings pitched.
