BB: Eisenberg Leads Hofstra Past Hawaii

Honolulu, HI - Alec Eisenberg carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning and Kevin Weissheier would escape a bases-loaded jam in the ninth as the Pride picked up their first win of the season in a 3-2 victory over Hawaii at Les Murakami Stadium.

Hofstra improved to 1-3 with the win, while the Rainbow Warriors slipped to 1-4.

The Pride opened the scoring in the third as Eric Ferguson led off with a walk. Dalton Rouleau followed with a single and Brad Witkowski was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Mat Annunziata then drove in his team-leading fourth run of the season with a fielder's choice.

Hofstra would tack on a two run in the fifth as Witkowski knocked in Rouleau with a sacrifice fly and Steven Foster scored on a throwing error after stealing third.

Eisenberg would finally surrender his first hit with one out in the sixth, which followed a walk. That ended his night as Bowie Matteson came on and induced two infield pop outs to escape the jam unscathed.

Hawaii ended Hofstra's shutout bid in the eighth. Stephen Ventimilia reached on a one-out single and moved to third on a single by Jacob Sheldon-Collins. A Kaeo Aliviado groundout scored Ventimilia, while Sheldon-Collins would score on a wild pitch. But Matteson escaped without further damage.

The Rainbow Warriors would load the bases with no outs in the ninth off Kevin Weissheier on a single, an error and an infield single. But the senior lefty would strike out Chayce Ka'aua on three straight curveballs and then got pinch-hitter Jonathan Weeks to hit into a 4-6-3 double play to end the game.

Eisenberg (1-0) allowed the one hit and two walks in 5 1/3 innings of work. He also struck out three. Matteson pitched 2 2/3 of relief and allowed two runs before Weissheier notched his first save in dramatic fashion.

Rouleau finished 2-3 on the night with a run scored. Foster went 2-4 with a run and two stolen bases.

Andrew Jones (0-2) took the loss for Hawaii, allowing three runs on five hits with six strikeouts in five innings. The Rainbow Warriors received four innings of scoreless relief from Alex Hatch (3 IP, two hits) and Cody Culp (1 IP, 0 hits).

Game two of the five game series will be Thursday at 11:35 p.m. (EST).
