Struggles on Road Continue as Muskrats Lose to Lowell

Despite being in their home state and playing at a neutral venue, the Laconia Muskrats fell to 0-5 on the road, losing 2-1 to the Lowell All-Americans at Holman Stadium in Nashua, New Hampshire.

The Muskrats scored right away in the top of the first inning.  Leadoff hitter Niko Fraser (Elon University) reached on an error and eventually scored on a Casey Kalenkoski (Cisco College) single.  Unfortunately, thats all the Muskrats would get.

Taylor Lasko (Boston College) took the hard-luck loss in his Muskrat debut.  In six full innings of work, Lasko gave up three hits, while walking only one and striking out five.  One of Lowell’s two runs was unearned.

Dan Feehan (UConn) got the win for Lowell.  Josh Fink (Trinity University) and Scott Oberg (UConn) also came out of the bullpen to shut the Muskrats out.  Effrey Valdez (NY Institute of Technology) and Nik Balog (University of San Francisco) drove in runs for the All-Americans.Boxscore

The loss puts the Muskrats’ record at 5-5, as the team falls to third place in the NECBL East.  Laconia will have another shot at their first road victory of the season Tuesday night at New Bedford.
