Altamonte Springs, Fla.-A three-run home run by John Chacho (Fr., Seymour, Conn.) in the first inning, a two-run homer by Alex Rauso (Sr., Trumbull, Conn.) in the fifth inning, and an RBI by Ryan Donnelly (Soph., Fairfield, Conn.) in the sixth inning help lift the University of Bridgeport baseball team to a 6-3 win over the Bentley University Falcons, 6-3, in Florida on Tuesday.  UB is now 5-4-1 on the season, and Bentley slips to 3-9.  Tuesday's win gives UB a 3-1 series win over the Falcons in their games played in the Sunshine State.
