College Division All-Stars fall to University All-Stars, 7-5

BOSTON, Mass. (May 30, 2002) - Franklin Pierce senior Scott Loiseau (Worcester, Mass./St. Peter Marian) started at shortstop, while junior righthander Chris Shank (Westminster, Mass./Oakmont Regional) pitched the third inning in the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association's 28th Annual All-Star Game at Fenway Park today.

Loiseau hit 0-2 in his only plate appearances, but his line drive to right-center to leadoff the third inning appeared like it would fall for extra bases before the Univesity Division centerfielder tracked it down in the gap. Loiseau, who batted second in the lineup, flew out to rightfield in the first inning.

Shank pitched the third inning and after walking the leadoff hitter, settled down and retired the next three batters he faced. Shank used 13 pitches in the inning, getting two fly ball and one ground ball out.

The University All-Stars (Division I) held on for a 7-5 victory over the College All-Stars (Divisions II & III).

Franklin Pierce (31-17, 22-10 NE-10) wrapped up the regular season with the second-best record in the Northeast-10 Conference, establishing new school records for overall and Conference victories and captured its first ECAC Championship in program history.
