Fort Myers, FL - John Carroll got the best of the WPI baseball team as they swept the Engineers 3-1 and 11-10 in a doubleheader Monday at Terry Park.  WPI is now 1-2 while John Carroll evens its record at 2-2.

In game one, freshman Cody McGregor (Westfield, MA) recorded WPI's lone hit in the seventh inning when he poked the ball through the right side of the field.  The Engineer's run was scored when right fielder Scott McNee (Falmouth, MA) knocked in Matt Fiore (Wakefield, MA) in the first inning on a sacrifice fly to center field.

Pitcher Brian Duncan (West Suffield, CT) pitched a strong game for the Engineers allowing just three runs on nine hits while fanning one in six innings of work.

In the nightcap, the Engineers fell to John Carroll 11-10 despite a ten hit performance.  Freshman Mark Dignum (Albany, NY) led WPI as he went 2-for-2 with three runs batted in and two runs scored.  Ryan Rainone (Oakville, CT) was 2-for-4 with three runs batted in while James Kokolis (Manchester, NH) scored two runs for the Crimson and Gray. Sophomore Ben Earle (Boylston, MA) notched a key outfield assist to go along with a base hit and a run scored.

WPI did not get on the board until the sixth inning when they exploded for five runs to cut the John Carroll lead to 9-5.  The Blue Streaks added another two runs in the bottom of the frame to go up 11-5 before the Engineers battled back to within one in the bottom of the seventh on doubles from Rainone and Dignum.
