- The Lead: On Wednesday afternoon, the MIT baseball team rallied for three runs in the top of the ninth inning before dropping a 14-11 final to the University of Redlands at The Yard.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
- The Engineers took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first as sophomore Teddy Schoenfeld (Boulder, Colo.) scored on a groundout. The Bulldogs tied the game in the bottom of the inning and then took a 6-1 lead in the second behind three hits and a pair of MIT errors.
 
- MIT got one back in the third as Schoenfeld came home on a sacrifice fly by sophomore Kennan Gumbs (New York, N.Y.), followed by a two-RBI double to left by sophomore Michael Finch (Brentwood, Tenn.) to make it a 6-4 game. Redlands answered with a seven-run inning in the sixth behind a five-hit effort that included a two-RBI single through the left side by Jared Anderson for the 13-4 advantage.
 
- Schoenfeld scored an unearned run in the seventh, along with a solo homer to center from Finch as the game headed to the final inning at 14-6 in favor of the Bulldogs. The Engineers put together a five-hit, five-run effort that included two-RBI, extra-base hits by Graham Cartwright (La Jolla, Calif.) and first-year Reed Tubbs (Pflugerville, Texas), to pull to within 14-11 before a strikeout ended the game.
 
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
 
- Finch led the Engineers with a three-hit outing, along with two hits each from Schoenfeld, junior Jake Sonandres (Torrance, Calif.) and junior Erik Anderson (Palos Verdes, Calif.). Four Bulldogs registered multiple hits in the game as they held a narrow 13-12 edge in hits over MIT.
