Freshman infielder Jonathan Chatfield hit a three-run home run and doubled while classmate Troy Brennan pitched four hitless innings of relief with four strikeouts for his first career win as the Keene State staved off Salem State 4-3 in their 2023 Owl Athletic Complex opener Tuesday afternoon. In search of more offense after a string of three consecutive games where KSC could not muster much including in a doubleheader Sunday at Eastern Nazarene College, the Owls found just enough in their first home game since last May – mostly from an emerging middle of the order threat in Chatfield, who has eight extra-base hits in 47 at bats (five doubles, one triple, and now two runs) including two today as he drove in three of his team's four runs. He then scored on a passed ball to account for the fourth, and KSC otherwise relied on a trio of arms to win in the first of five scheduled home games this week after the Owls played their first 15 contests away from home. It was a much different lineup than when Keene State took the field on May 6 of last year in a doubleheader against the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, with six of nine lineup spots occupied by freshman and 21 newcomers overall.
Junior Zac Zaller tossed five scoreless innings, striking out five and allowing one hit while giving Lycoming College to jump out with the first seven runs of the game in a 7-4 MAC Freedom win at Wilkes University on Tuesday afternoon at Bruggeworth Field.

Zaller (1-1) earned the win, as he allowed just two runners to reach, both in the first inning before he retired the last 14 batters that he faced, working in all five of his strikeouts and seven flyouts in that time. He yielded to first-year Nick Reeder (Montoursville, Pa./Montoursville Area), who threw scoreless sixth and seventh innings before allowing two runs in the eighth. He allowed five hits and struck out two.
