Elon Falls in Monmouth Series Finale

West Long Branch, N.J.- The Elon Phoenix (15-24, 6-9 CAA) dropped a Sunday rubber match to the Monmouth Hawks (20-20, 7-8 CAA) earlier this afternoon. A quality start from Declan Lavelle was not enough as the Hawks shutout Elon, 3-0.
 
Graduate Declan Lavelle threw six innings and allowed just one earned run in the loss. Tank Yaghoubi and Kenny Mallory Jr. both delivered multi-hit games while Alex Duffey extended his conference hitting streak to 15 straight games.
 
How It Happened
  • For the first time in the series, the Phoenix could not deliver a run in the first inning while both pitchers settled in with two clean frames to begin the game.
  • Monmouth would strike first with two, unearned runs in the third inning to take a 2-0 lead.
  • Elon hitters singled three times in the following frame, but with the bases loaded and less than two outs, the Phoenix could not bring a run across.
  • Lavelle continued to bear down with two more clean frames in the fourth and fifth.
  • The Hawks added insurance on a double to left field in the sixth to take a 3-0 lead.
  • Elon could not find a run in the remaining innings which sealed the Sunday, Monmouth shutout.
