Worcester, Mass. (May 3) -- In the 2015 season finale on Sunday afternoon, the Assumption College baseball team dropped a 9-3 final to Bentley University in divisional play at Rocheleau Field.

Bentley got on the board with two outs in the top of the first as Nick Neshe scored on a passed ball for the early 1-0 lead. The Falcons added to that lead with a three-run fourth behind three hits that included a two-out double by Justin Ashworth for a 4-0 advantage.
