Trinity (Conn.) senior Mike Regan picked up the win in the 2008 New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association's College All-Star Game played Saturday, June 14 at historic Fenway Park.

The College team out-hit the University squad 7-5, built a 6-1 lead and held on to the victory.

Franklin Pierce senior RF Kevin Renaud hit a three-run home run into the Monster seats in the fifth inning that provided the difference in the College Division's victory.

They expanded the margin to 3-0 with two runs in the second on an RBI single by Southern Connecticut senior DH Anthony Fiorillo and a run-scoring ground out by senior catcher Nick Lefeber from Middlebury.

Renaud's home run gave the College team a 6-0 lead in the fifth. It scored Fiorillo, who singled, and Derbacher, who reached by an error. The three runs were unearned. The University Division team mounted a comeback with three runs in the sixth. Sophomore Brian Baudinet from UMass singled, Dartmouth sophomore RF Nick Santomauro walked, Brown junior CF Steve Daniels singled home Baudinet and Dartmouth junior Michael Pagliarula hit a two-run single. The University Division team brought the tying run to the plate in the seventh with runners on second and third with one out, but did not score.
