Auburndale, MA- The MCLA baseball concluded a tough Florida trip by falling to UMass Boston by scores of 5-0 and 16-7. With the pair of losses, MCLA is now 1-5 heading into their northern opener on Tuesday.
In game one, MCLA could only muster four hits in the shutout. UMass Boston would do all their damage in the first three innings tallying two runs in the first and three in the third. MCLA starter James Greeley would settle in after the rough start and complete the game.
