Shank fires no-hitter to lead
Ravens past Framingham State White hurls Ravens to win over Saint
Michael's
EASTHAM, Mass. (March 9,
2002) - It marks the earliest season-opener in program
history, but the Franklin Pierce pitching was at its best as
Franklin Pierce 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 Franklin Pierce
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 Franklin Pierce. 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 Franklin Pierce 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.

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 Franklin Pierce 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.
