Weekly Notes:

FRANKLIN PIERCE: Ranked fifth in last week's Collegiate Baseball magazine Division II poll, the Ravens bowed out of the 2007 NCAA Division II Baseball Championships in Montgomery, Ala., in two games. Senior Vinny Pennell (Spencer, Mass.) became the program's all-time hit leader with his 249th career hit against #11 Angelo State on Saturday. The Ravens belted a program-record 132 doubles this season. Franklin Pierce's 49 wins is a record for Division II schools in the Northeast Region.
