PLYMOUTH, N.H. – Sophomore
Anthony Cooley (Brunswick, Maine) had two hits and scored a run, but Gordon College used a big fourth inning to topple Plymouth State University, 15-2, in a non-conference clash at Parish Field on Wednesday afternoon.
Cooley singled, doubled and scored a run, while graduate student
Connor Dobson (South Portland, Maine) delivered a two-run double to highlight the Panthers' offense.
Plymouth State falls to 3-21, while Gordon moves to 13-19.
