- The Lead: A trio of three-run innings by MIT powered the Engineers to a victory over Mitchell College, 10-6, in a non-conference baseball game on Wednesday afternoon.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
- Senior Michael Finch (Brentwood, Tenn.) reached on an error with two runners on base, which allowed senior Teddy Schoenfeld (Boulder, Colo.) to score the first run of the game in the first inning. The Engineers scored three more runs and pushed the lead to 4-0 in the third. A single by Schoenfeld brought home Lawrence Tang (Hopkinton, Mass.), and a triple by Zev Moore (Jerusalem, Israel) added two more runs for MIT.

- A single from Adam Vartanian and a double from Owen Robbins helped the Mariners cut the lead down to 4-2 in the bottom of the fifth inning.

- MIT scored three runs in the top of the sixth inning. Moore brought home Schoenfeld on a SAC fly, and a two-run homer by Finch boosted the Engineers lead to 7-2.

- A three-run double by Michael Ficocelli got the Mariners closer in the bottom of the seventh inning. Thai-ler Sestokas reached on a fielder's choice, scoring Cole Lalli to cut the deficit to 7-6 in the bottom of the eighth inning.

- The Engineers stretched the lead for good as a base hit from graduate student Jake Sonandres (Torrance, Calif.) allowed senior Tyler Godfrey (Rowley, Mass.) to cross home plate, and a double from Finch later on in the inning drove Sonandres and Schoenfeld home.
 
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
 
- Schoenfeld went 3-for-5, registering two runs and a stolen base. Finch was 3-for-6 with one home run, double, and four RBI while Moore collected three RBI.
 
- Senior Phillip Hood (Grapevine, Texas) picks up his first pitching victory of his career. Senior Saketh Gabbita (Ashburn, Va.) collected his first save of the season.
