The Navigators offense scored nine runs on eight hits en route to a 9-1 victory against the Nashua Silver Knights Friday night at Fraser Field.

The Navigators got the scoring started in the bottom of the first when Tanner Bush (UNC Ashville) led off with a triple. Chad Martin (Bowdoin) scored Bush with a RBI double.
Martin reached base in the fourth on a two-base error, and would eventually score on a passed ball to make it to 2-0 Navigators.
The Silver Knights cut the lead to 2-1 in the top of the fifth and the Navigators responded with four runs in the bottom half of the inning to increase their lead to 6-1. Richie Fecteau’s (Salem State) ground-rule double put runners on second and third with one out. Martin walked to load the bases for third baseman MJ Brown (Lee). Brown hit a sacrifice fly to score Fischer. Giovanni Dingcong (St. Thomas Aquinas) and Sheldon Brogden (Lee) added runs on RBI singles, and an error scored Dingcong.That was plenty of offense for Navigators starter Tim Superko (Tufts), who went five innings, giving up one run on five hits while striking out three.
