The Nashua Silver Knights scored early and often to defeat the North Shore Navigators 8-3 on Saturday night. The Navigators are now 0-7 on the season, while the Silver Knights improve to 5-2 on the season.
Nashua pounded starter Evan Glew (Northern Essex Community College) for five runs and nine hits in his second start of the season. The first inning kicked off with three consecutive singles scored Kyle Bonicki before the North Shore could capture an out.
The second run came in on a double off the bat of Silver Knight Andew Jaehnig that dropped in shallow center field. The inning was capped off as Navigator’s right fielder Jeff Mejia snagged a ball deep to right, catching it with his back to the wall.
The Navigators pushed back in the second with a triple by Nick Furmann (Frederick Community College) to score MacDaniel Singleton (Salem State), who was hit by a pitch to be put on base. Nashua stomped right back in the top of the third as Jaehnig doubled again, scoring Sullivan. Two ground balls brought in another run for the Silver Knights.
A three run sixth inning proved to be too much for the Navigators. Nashua’s Thomas Joyce hit a long solo shot to make it 6-2. Ryan Sullivan scored a two run double to the left field corner to add the final two Silver Knight’s tallies for the night.
Furmann tried to kick start a Navigators comeback with a double in the bottle of the seventh but the Nashua bullpen prevented further scoring. A sacrifice fly by Ryan Collins (Northern Essex) put the last tally on the board for the North Shore on the night.
The Navigators follow up their Sunday off day with two road games in Worcester and Nashua on Monday and Tuesday respectively. Baseball returns to Fraser Field Wednesday at 7 as the Navigators host the Brockton Rox.
