WALTHAM, MASS. -- Lasell College split a Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) baseball doubleheader with Johnson & Wales University at Brandeis University's Stein Diamond. Senior Dan Petr (East Haven, Conn.) tossed a three-hit shutout with eight strikeouts.
Game 1: Lasell 3, Johnson & Wales 0

Petr walked two and hit three batters but kept the Wildcats off the scoreboard as no runners reached third base. He struck out the side in the second inning and finished off the win with a game-ending double play in the seventh to post his first victory of the season (1-0).

Lasell scored its three run on just two hits. Sophomore Harrison Silva (Lowell, Mass.) scored the first run after reaching base in the third inning on a walk, went to second on a sacrifice bunt, stole third and scored on a JWU throwing error.

Senior Chris Maringo (Farmingville, N.Y.) walked to lead off the fourth inning and junior Joe Sullivan (East Sandwich, Mass.) had the big hit in the game with a towering two-run home run down the right field line, his first of the season.
