It was splitsville for the Nashua Silver Knights on Thursday night at Pittsfield’s Wahconah Park.

The Knights topped the Pittsfield Suns, 6-3, in the first game of a doubleheader (seven innings each). However, they fell victim to the pitching of the Suns’ Grant Nicholson in the nightcap, blanked 4-0 to fall to 4-7.

Nashua’s Nick Guarino won his first game of the season in the opener, allowing just two runs on six hits, striking out six and not walking a batter over six innings of work.

The Silver Knights made the most of six hits, scoring two in the first inning and then snapping a 2-2 tie with four in the top of the seventh off Suns reliever Ian Donahue on Pat Casserly’s two-run double and Lucas Carmichael’s two run single. They had scored two in the first as Noah Lucier walked, went around to third on two wild pitches and scored on Craig Corliss sac fly. They added another unearned run in the inning.

However, in the second game Nicholson checked the Knights on just one hit, a Noah Lucier single. Pittsfield reliever Jack Thorbahn was just as tough, tossing two hitless innings, striking out four of the six hitters he faced.

Nicholson walked two and struck out nine, and his 8-5 team got two in the second and two in the fifth.

Nashua’s Nick Remy started the second game and took the loss, allowing two runs over three innings.

The Knights have to head out on the Mass Pike again today for another doubleheader at Westfield before returning to Holman Stadium on Saturday for a game vs. the Norwich Sea Unicorns that is now a 6:30 p.m. start from its original time at 6.
