Â
Game #1
Junior left-hander
Aiden Cardoza (Dartmouth, MA) hurled seven scoreless innings to lead the Lyon to a 6-0 victory in the opener.
Both sides collected just six hits in game one Wheaton left only five men on base. The Lyons broke into the scoring column with a run in the bottom of the first and added another single run in the sixth. Wheaton broke the game open with a four-run rally in the eighth.
Â
Cardoza did not walk a batter and struck out five, while allowing five hits in seven innings of work to improve to 3-0 on the year. The Lyons' pitching staff did not allow a baserunner past second base for the balance of the game. Junior center fielder
Robbie Lamond (North Kingstown, RI) knocked in three runs and was 1-2 with a double and two stolen bases. Senior third baseman
Ray Toth (Granby, MA) was 1-3 with a pair of RBI, while first year left fielder
Brayden Lewis (Hopedale, MA) was 2-4 with a double and three stolen bases to become the first rookie in program history to steal three bags on two different occasions. Senior first baseman
Collin Reilly (Marshfield, MA) also stole three bases to mark the second time this season that Wheaton has had two players steal three bases in the same game. The Lyons had never done that prior to 2026. Reilly also drove in a run and drew a pair of walks.
Â
Junior catcher
Matt Shea (Salem, NH) paced WPI with a 2-3 day and sophomore center fielder
Miles Pratt (Hampton, NH) was 1-3 with a double. Senior
second baseman Liam Keblin (Newton, MA) was 1-3 as well. Senior right-handed starting pitcher
Jacob Wiberg (Exeter, NH) took the loss to drop to 2-2 after giving up six runs on five hits and four walks in addition to fanning six batters.
Â
Wheaton used its speed game to crack the scoring column with a run in the first. Senior second baseman
Marcus Rodrigues (Lincoln, RI) reached on an infield single, stole second base and came around to score on a single to right center off the bat of Reilly to take a 1-0 edge.
Â
Cardoza was busy ensuring that the home team's slim lead would hold up, carrying a no-hitter into the fourth until senior
Zachary Roethlein (Pomfret Center, Conn.) singled to right field for the Engineers.
Â
Aggressive base running paid off again in the bottom of the sixth for the Lyons, helping to double their lead. Lewis opened the frame with a single, before Reilly was hit by a pitch for a team-high 11th time this season. Both runners moved into scoring position on a double steal, before Lamond hit a sacrifice fly to right field to score Lewis with Wheaton's second run.
Â
The Lyons' four-run eighth was the closest thing to an offensive eruption for either team. Lewis reached on an infield single to third and Reilly drew a walk, before Lamond delivered a two-out double to plate both runners and give Wheaton a 4-0 margin. Lamond stole third before first year right fielder
Derek Babineau Jr. (Scituate, MA) worked a walk and stole second base to set up Toth for a two-run single to center to cap the scoring and give the Lyons a six-run cushion.
