Siena Baseball mounted a huge rally late with seven unanswered runs over the seventh and eighth innings to secure a series-opening doubleheader split at Quinnipiac with a 9-6 triumph in Game Two. The Bobcats slugged their way to a 13-7 win in the opener.
 
Game One: Quinnipiac 13, Siena 7
Cole Constable finished a single shy of a cycle and drove in seven runs out of the seven-hole as Quinnipiac (25-21-1, 16-10) handed Siena (19-28, 15-11) its first MAAC series-opening loss in nine tries this season.
 
The Bobcats pounced for six runs in the first inning and, after the Saints had chipped away to rally within 8-5 in the top of the sixth, Constable capped a five-run home half with a grand slam to seal it.
 
Siena lost despite out-hitting Quinnipiac 16-10, including a three-hit performance from Jeremy Sangalang atop the order. Four additional Saints registered multi-hit efforts in the opener.
 
Game Two: Siena 9, Quinnipiac 6
Siena rallied from a 6-2 seventh inning deficit with seven unanswered runs over the seventh and eighth to secure a pivotal split.
 
After the Saints inched closer with a three-run seventh capped by a two-out, two-run single from Owen Pincince, they kicked the door in to go ahead in the eighth. Sangalang punctuated his second straight three-hit effort with the go-ahead single, and Jake Sparks provided insurance with a two-run double.
 
With still more than a week to go in the regular season, Siena has now won 19 games, marking the program's highest overall win total since 2018 (21). Moreover, the 15^th MAAC victory is the most since 2016 (16).
 
By securing the split Siena, which was projected to finish 11^th out of 13 teams according to the MAAC Preseason Coaches' Poll, finishes the day where they started it – just a game back of the third-place Bobcats heading into a decisive series finale.
 
Due to Friday's forecast coupled with Quinnipiac's weekend-long graduation, the teams will have to wait until Monday to play the decisive rubber game of the series.
