    WINTER HAVEN Fla. — The No. 4/4 nationally ranked Endicott baseball team was defeated by No. 7/7 Denison, 11-3, on Wednesday afternoon in the RussMatt Tournament.

    WP (2-0): Michael Gray (Lake Forest, Ill.) — 5.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 7 K
    LP (0-1): Nicholas Cannata (Marlborough, Conn.) — 3.1 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 3 K

    The Gulls found themselves down 9-0 after just four-and-a-half innings, and were unable to make up ground on the Big Red in the top-10 ranked matchup.

    Zach Stephenson (Mansfield, Mass.) and Danny MacDougall (Taunton, Mass.) drilled back-to-back homers in the bottom of the fifth to bring the Gulls a bit closer (9-3 deficit), but that was the extent of the scoring for the Blue and Green on the afternoon.

    Jake Harmony (Fairfield, Conn.) and Ben Gill (Sanford, Maine) combined to go 4.0 innings in relief, allowing just one earned run between the two of them (Gill: 1 IP, 2K's, 0 ER | Harmony: 3.0 IP, 1 K, 1 ER).

    Grady Vanidestine (Brewer, Maine) and Pat Hart (Norfolk, Mass.) also saw action out of the 'pen for the Gulls in the loss.

    From the batter's box, Joey Frammartino (North Reading, Mass.), TJ Liponis (Scarborough, Maine), and Stephenson each logged multi-hit games.

    BEYOND THE BOX SCORE

    • Denison moves to 2-0 all-time against the Gulls.
    • The last matchup between the two programs was back on 3/15/10.
    • Gill has allowed just one earned run in 4.0 innings of work out of the bullpen this season (2.25 ERA).
    • First homerun for MacDougall this season. His last long ball came on June 2, 2024 against eventual national champion Misericordia.
    • Second multi-hit game of the season for Liponis.
