WORCESTER, Mass. --- Junior righthander JOE GREEN (Worcester, MA/Saint John's) scattered six hits over 7.2 innings to improve his personal record to 4-0 as Assumption College defeated Merrimack College, 5-1, in a non-conference baseball game Thursday at Rocheleau Field.

Senior centerfielder DEREK MIGRANTS (Ayer, MA/Ayer) had an RBI double in the fifth inning.

Senior shortstop BRENDAN PYBURN (Peabody, MABishop Fenwick) doubled to leftcenter with one out in the eighth inning and scored an out later on an RBI single by junior third baseman MIKE DOOLING (Milford, CT/Joseph Foran).
Hounds senior closer TIM DUPUIS (Suffield, CT/Suffield) finished it off retiring the final four batters for his fifth save of the year. Junior leftfielder WALLY DEROSIER (Shrewsbury, MA/Holy Name) has two singles and a walk and Migrants added a single and a double.
