The pitching corps at Lasell University has been bolstered this spring by the arms of a pair of players with connections to Warwick, namely Hendricken product Adam Marsh and Toll Gate alum Darek Lallo.

Marsh has been among the Lasers’ most versatile options, flitting between the starting rotation and bullpen in his nine appearances to date, going 3-0 with a pair of saves and 35 strikeouts, tying for the team lead in the latter with Matthew Fletcher.

A decent chunk of those punchouts came during Lasell’s early-season trip to Florida, where the former Hawk struck out 14 batters during his stints on the hill against Kenyon, Earlham and Northwestern-St. Paul.

In the last of those contests, the front end of a March 15 doubleheader versus Northwestern-St. Paul, Marsh hurled a complete game three-hitter in a 1-0 victory over the Eagles, striking out nine without surrendering a walk.

After spending the remainder of March in the bullpen, the junior righty got the ball again on April 1 in the Lasers’ 17-6 defeat of Rivier, earning credit for the win with five strikeouts in as many innings before giving way to a pair of relievers.

The first reliever to emerge that day was Lallo, who at the time was entering his ninth game of the year and went on to record a strikeout of Rivier’s Owen Medlock but also allowed a run, only the second time this season that a runner scored on his watch.

For the ex-Titan southpaw, this was part of a stretch in which he saw action in four consecutive contests, starting with a 5-2 upending of Brandeis on March 27 that resulted in his team-leading fourth triumph of the season.

Against the Judges, Lallo was the beneficiary of good timing as he entered proceedings just after Lasell’s Brad Edwards singled home CJ Mills in the top of the fifth to break a 1-1 stalemate and go ahead for good.

Over the course of his 11 appearances thus far, the senior has racked up six strikeouts in 16 innings of work while maintaining an earned run average of 1.69, the lowest among all Laser pitchers with at least ten innings pitched.

Rivier extended their winning streak to six on Monday with a 16-6 decision over Colby-Sawyer, aided by a half-dozen punchouts from Marsh and a 2-for-3 day at the dish for Jared Whitby, who drove home four of the runs.

Now at 16-7 on the season, the Lasers have a busy week ahead as they try and keep their momentum, with midweek games versus New England College and Framingham State and weekend twinbills against Anna Maria and Norwich on the docket.

Hendricken graduate Braydon Dolbashian has had ample opportunity in recent times to show off his power for the Merrimack nine, slamming a pair of home runs at the start of April for the Warriors.

The ex-Hawk cleared the fence as part of a 3-for-4 performance against Holy Cross last Tuesday, taking Nick Harnisch deep in the third inning of an 8-4 doubling up of the Crusaders, a contest in which Pilgrim alum Colby Barker picked up the win.

Three days later, Dolbashian was the difference maker in the Warriors’ 7-4 defeat of Central Connecticut, hitting a three-run blast in the fifth inning to give Merrimack a 5-3 advantage that they would not relinquish the rest of the way.

It was the perfect beginning to the weekend for the visiting Warriors, who would go on to sweep the defending Northeast Conference champion Blue Devils to improve their record to 13-17 on the campaign going into Tuesday’s meeting with UMass-Lowell.

Starting each of the 20 games he has played for Merrmiack, Dolbashian is averaging .292 inside the batter’s box with 15 runs driven in and three doubles while also setting the team pace for triples with three to his name.
