NORTON, Mass. -- Senior right fielder Jake Studley (Barrington, R.I.) collected four hits, including a home run and a double and senior starting pitcher Stephen Quigley (Halifax, Mass.) allowed just one run to lead the Wheaton College (Mass.) baseball team over Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 6-1, this afternoon in game one of a New England Women's & Men's Athletic Conference doubleheader today at Sidell Stadium on the Wheaton campus in Norton, Mass. The Lyons bounced back from a loss to the Engineers on the previous day in Cambridge and improves to 14-10 overall and 5-3 in conference play, while MIT falls to 8-15 and 3-5.

Quigley scattered eight hits to allow just one run and walked one batter, while striking out nine in seven innings to improve 5-2 on the season after the opening contest for the Lyons. Junior righty reliever Max Pierce (Scituate, R.I.) earned his first collegiate save with two scoreless innings on just one walk and a pair of strikeouts. Studley continued a torrid stretch, going 4-4 with a homer, a double, two runs batted in and two runs scored to make him 12-15 with three home runs, four doubles and six runs batted in in a three-game span. Junior shorstop Cavan Brady (Great Barrington, Mass.), junior second baseman Mike Maher (Jefferson, Mass.) and sophomore Will Haskell (Natick, Mass.) each collected a pair of hits for the home team in an 11-hit team output.

O'Shea and Cartwright both recorded two-hit efforts for MIT. First year right-hander Brian Rapanan (Gurnee, Ill.) (1-1) suffered the loss for the visitors, giving up three runs on nine hits and two walks in addition to fanning six in five innings of his start.

Wheaton began the bottom of the fourth with three straight hits leading two a pair of runs and a 2-0 lead. Brady singled, Maher doubled and sophomore left fielder Chris Taranto (Slingerlands, N.Y.) singled home Brady with the first run of the day. Maher later scored on a double play for the Lyons.

Studley opened the fifth with a double for the Lyons and later scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of senior first baseman Drew Spirito (Cranston, R.I.) to increase the home team's lead to 3-0. 

The Engineers got a run back in the seventh when O'Shea and Cartwright delivered back-to-back one-out singles ahead of an RBI double from Schoenfield to plate O'Shea with MIT's only run of the game.

Wheaton answered in the bottom of the frame when Studley crushed his sixth home run of the season over the center field fence for a 4-1 Lyons' lead. Wheaton added two more insurance runs in the eighth to establish a five-run deficit that proved to be the final difference.
