WEST HARTFORD, Conn. –  The Rivier baseball team opened Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) play with a split at Saint Joseph (Conn.), falling 4-3 in game one before bouncing back for a 2-1 win in game two.

With the result, the Raiders moved to 4-8 (1-1 GNAC), while the Blue Jays moved to 8-5 (1-1 GNAC).

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Bluejays took a 3-0 lead after four innings of play.

  • USJ took back the three-run lead, scoring one in the bottom half of the fifth
  • The Raiders pushed two more runs across in the sixth inning. Sophomore Colton Colleran drew a walk, and junior Nathan Innerfield reached on an error to put runners on base.
