TOWSON, Md. – The University of Maine pounded out 19 hits in the final game of the weekend on Sunday to salvage their second doubleheader split with Towson University in two days.

The Black Bears improved to 10-16 overall, 2-6 in America East, while Towson is 11-8-1, 5-3.

In Sunday’s first game, junior catcher Dusty Reynolds ripped a bases-loaded triple to cap a four-run fifth inning for the Tigers in a 10-8 win.

Maine, which led 7-5 entering the fifth, got a pair of singles and three RBIs from Brian Poire and a double and two singles from T.J. Sheedy. Freshman righty Rick Hewey came on in relief of classmate Brandon Brewer in the second and was saddled with the loss. He drops to 1-2.

Kregg Jarvais and Bryan Harvie singled twice each for the Black Bears.

In Sunday’s second game, senior first baseman Gabe Memmert stroked five singles and knocked in two runs in the 10-4 Black Bear win. Sophomore Jon Dickinson pitched 5 2/3 innings, giving up four hits and three runs, to improve to 2-0.

Julian Bracali smacked a double and three singles for UMaine, while Poire singled three times. The Black Bears jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first off starter and loser Peter Buck, who dropped to 2-2.

In Saturday’s first game, Tom Koutrouba threw a complete game nine-hitter, striking out eight and stranding nine Tiger runners to lead Maine to a 5-3 win. Ron Coombs blasted a two-run homer and Tony Fernandez had a two-run single.

In Saturday’s second game, Nick Agoglia fueled a 10-run fourth inning on nine hits with a home run, leading Towson to the 10-6 win. Paul Boland had a two-run single, and Liam Healy smacked a two-run triple.
