RINDGE, N.H. – Three Bentley University home runs weren't enough as the Falcons lost to Franklin Pierce University, 10-6, in Northeast-10 Conference baseball Sunday afternoon at Pappas Field.

Going deep for the Falcons were graduate center fielder Kyle Halloran (Hopkinton, Mass./Hopkinton HS), junior right fielder Tim Zupkus (Middlebury, Conn./Holy Cross HS) and junior first baseman Eddy Beauregard (Paxton, Mass./Wachusett Reg. HS).

It was the third for Beauregard, the second for Zupkus and the first for Halloran.

Halloran led off the game by clearing the right center field fence. After a walk, Zupkus made it a 3-0 game with his home run going to left.
