LOUDONVILLE, NY – Four freshmen hurlers highlighted a strong staff effort to pitch Siena Baseball past Binghamton 3-2 in midweek non-conference action at Connors Park.
 
Nolan Puglisi, Connor Byrne, Evan Saulys, and Tyler Kidwell combined to record all but one out while scattering just six hits and two runs to propel Siena (8-28) to its second straight win. Byrne tossed the middle three shutout innings to earn the win, while Kidwell closed things out for his first collegiate save.  
 
Following a pair of RBI groundouts from Tyler Figueroa and Randall Hien early in the contest, Kobe Stenson smashed the go-ahead RBI double in the sixth to score Danny Barbero with the decisive run. Barbero and Nick Bergamotto paced the offensive with multi-hit efforts.
 
Binghamton (16-20) loaded the bases with nobody threatening to tie or reclaim the lead in the seventh, but Saulys bore down to induce a strikeout and an inning ending double play to slam the door shut. Sam Haney hit a two-run homer in the third to account for the scoring for the Bearcats who stranded 13 runners.
 
The Saints will look to close out their stretch of five home games in a span of just six days with a winning record when they host UMass Wednesday at 3 p.m.
