Final of series to be played at 5:40 p.m. on Saturday

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — After a wild offensive game on Friday night, St. Bonaventure failed to find any kind of rhythm at the plate in Saturday's first game, falling to Charlotte 10-2 in the second game of the Atlantic 10 series at Hayes Stadium.

The third and final game will start at 5:40 p.m. Live stats for the game can be found at www.Charlotte49ers.com. The Bonnies (4-10) will look to rid themselves of their 0-2 start to A-10 play.

Sophomore left-hander Nick Brennen got the start on the mound and was able to limit Charlotte to just one run over the first three innings and a two-run third gave the Bonnies the early 2-1 lead. After sophomore Michael Grieco worked a two-out walk, junior Derek Speaker doubled down the left field line to give the Brown and White two runners in scoring position. Freshman Jason Radwan followed with a two-run single into center field in the very next at-bat to make it 2-1.

Unfortunately, that would be the last lead of the game for St. Bonaventure, as the 49ers plated three runs in their half of the fourth and six more in the sixth off the Bona bullpen to take a commanding 10-2 lead.

The Bonnies only managed one of their four hits over the final six innings and never staged a comeback. Speaker accounted for two of the hits, going 2-for-4 with the third inning double and a run scored. Junior Jesse Bosnik extended his hit streak to 12 games with a double to right center in the sixth, but was stranded at third base.

Brennen's five innings of work featured a career-high seven strikeouts, but he was tagged for the loss to fall to 1-2 on the season. Sophomore Jordan Crane tossed the sixth and seventh innings and was touched up for six runs. Redshirt sophomore Michael Pease tossed a scoreless ninth.
