BUFFALO, N.Y. — St. Bonaventure sophomore Nick Brennen (pictured) ripped two home runs for the second straight game and the Bonnies pounded out double-digit hits for the eighth time this season en route to a 12-6 win at Big 4 rival Canisius on Wednesday afternoon at Demske Sports Complex.

Brennen's second consecutive game with multiple home runs gives him a team-high six on the season and a gaudy 10 RBI over his last two contests. Brennen went 3-for-4 in the game with two runs scored and four RBI. The St. Marys, Pa. product has a home run in three of his last four games and four in his last nine at-bats.

The win moves St. Bonaventure to 4-8 heading into the start of Atlantic 10 play this weekend. The Bonnies will head south for their opening three-game conference set against perennial power Charlotte. Game one of the three-day weekend series will take place on Friday, March 26 at 6 p.m.

The Bonnies scored all 12 of their runs over four different innings en route to doubling-up the Griffs. Nine of the 11 players that made plate appearances came away with a hit to accumulate the team's total of 16.

Juniors Jesse Bosnik and Brad Steinbach - the other two-thirds of the St. Mary's bats – each had two hits and picked up their team-leading fifth multi-RBI games. Bosnik's single and double extended his hit streak to 10 games.

Sophomore Ryan Skellie's two-hit game included a two-run triple in the fourth, while freshmen Austin Ingraham and Billy Urban rounded out the multi-hit performers.

Brennen also started the game on the mound before giving way after two innings. A total of seven different pitchers saw time with freshman Andrew Revello picking up the win after completing the fifth inning. Making his first collegiate appearance on the mound, Urban was the story out of the bullpen, tossing three scoreless innings to close the game and pick up the save.

St. Bonaventure set the tone with a five-run top of the first and never looked back. Two Canisius errors kept the Bona first inning alive until Brennen's first of two home runs closed out the inning.

Skellie's two-run triple in the fourth made it 7-2 Bonnies and Brennen's second two-run homer in the sixth pushed the lead to 10-4.
