WATERVILLE – The Thomas College Terriers benefited from a wild finish for a 19-17 win Wednesday to salvage a split in a college baseball doubleheader with Fisher College.

The Falcons from Boston took the opener 9-8.

In the second game, the clash ended when Fisher had the bases loaded with two outs in the top of the seventh. The runner on third thought a pitch was ball four and headed for home. But it was only ball two, and he was picked off to end the game.

Scott Sibley sparked Thomas with a solo homer and an RBI single. Buzz Simpson belted a two-run homer to go with an RBI single. Ryan O’Conner drove in four runs off a two-run single and two-run double. Josh Porter ripped a double and a triple.

In the first game, Victor Molina paced Fisher with a two-run homer. Miguel Medina also belted a two-run blast, to go with a double and a single.

For the Terriers, Aaron Bonenfant pounded out three singles with an RBI. Travis Hotham cracked a double and drove in a trio of runs, and Scott Brown had two singles and knocked in a run.
