Flynn Homers Twice, Bison Win 28-4 Over NEC

NORTHBOROUGH, Mass. (3/4/2025) – Junior Liam Flynn homered twice as the Nichols College baseball team scored 28 runs on Tuesday afternoon from the New England Baseball Complex. The Bison topped New England College 28-4 in non-conference action.

Flynn went 3-4 with two home runs and a double. Flynn added seven RBIs and scored five runs to lead the way for the Bison. Junior Julian Galvan went 4-4 with a double, one RBI, and three runs scored. Teammate Andrew Croteau and freshman Ryan Keating each tallied three hits in the game.

 Sophomore Dylan Martins recorded his first collegiate hit with a grand slam home run in the eighth inning, and senior Karl Miller his first home run since 2023.

On the mound, freshman Tim Hudson (1-0) earned his first win of the season after throwing 3.0 innings, while allowing three hits and two strikeouts. Classmate Ashton Hammond threw 1.0 inning and struck out two batters.

The remaining arms all saw 1.0 inning of work, senior Richard Pignone faced three batters in a 1-2-3 inning, and freshman Josh Warming struck out two batters and allowed one hit. Freshman Dalton Holbrook allowed one hit in 1.0 innings and teammate Andrew Csordos struck out three batters as well. Transfer pitcher Andrew Steinhubel struck out one in a 1-2-3 ninth inning.

Nichols scored in the first inning after back-to-back doubles off the bats of Flynn and Croteau and the Bison led 1-0. The Pilgrims answered with a run of their own with a solo shot in the second inning and then again in the top of the third inning to take a 2-1 lead.

The bottom half of the third inning, saw Nichols regain the lead after a three-run inning, capped off with a Flynn two-run shot to right field and Miller hit his first home of the season with a solo home run to give the home team a 4-2 lead. NEC answered with a run in the top half of the inning to trail 4-3.

Nichols scored three more runs in the bottom freshman Ryan Keating singled up the middle, scoring Galvan. Miller then walked with the bases loaded to score a run and Flynn scored on an error for a 7-3 lead after four innings.

The fifth inning, saw the Bison explode for 14 runs. Flynn jumped started the inning with his second home run, a grand slam to right field. A handful of singles and two doubles so another seven runs plated, and Nichols grabbed a 21-3 lead after five innings of action.

NEC added another run in the seventh inning, as the Bison added seven runs in the eighth inning, capped off with a Martins grand slam, his first collegiate hit, as the Bison extended their lead to 28-4. Nichols won the game 28-4 to improve to 2-0 on the young season.

The 28 runs scored by the Bison, is the tied for the second most runs scored in a game. The last time Nichols scored 28 runs in a game was in 2016 against Lasell University one run off the program's record of 29.
