Recap
The Nichols College baseball team was eliminated from the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) tournament by Salve Regina, 4-3 Saturday afternoon at Trelease Park in Springfield, Massachusetts.

The Bison (21-20, 6-8 CCC) got on the board first with an RBI single by freshman Kyle Desjardins and a straight steal of home by senior Joe Assenza. The Seahawks (23-15, 8-6 CCC) would tie it up in the bottom of third, but the Bison would reclaim the lead in the sixth with an Assenza bases loaded walk.
