Baseball Swept in Non-Conference Doubleheader at Trinity (Conn.)

HARTFORD, Conn. — Trinity (Conn.) swept the MIT baseball team in a non-conference doubleheader on Saturday at Murren Family Field/DiBenedetto Stadium. The Bantams took a back-and-forth game one, 5-4, with a run in the bottom of the seventh inning before cruising to a 16-7 victory in game two.

THE BASICS: 

  • Game One: Trinity (Conn.) 5, MIT 4 (7 inn.) 
  • Game Two: Trinity (Conn.) 16, MIT 7 
  • Records: MIT 0-5 Overall, Trinity (Conn.) 4-1 overall  

HOW IT HAPPENED - Game One:

  • After MIT rallied to tie the contest at 4-4 in the top of the seventh inning, Trinity (Conn.) scored on a passed ball in the bottom of the seventh inning to win, 5-4.  
  • Trinity had leads of 1-0, 3-1 and 4-3 in the contest, only to see the Engineers rally back on three occasions to tie the game. The Bantams jumped ahead in the first inning, scoring on an MIT error.  
  • The hosts continued to lead until the top of the fourth when MIT's Owen Malone hit his first home run of the season, taking a 1-0 pitch to straight away center to tie the contest. However, the Bantams took the lead back in the bottom of the frame, as Tyler Bernstein and Dylan Schnitzer reached to open the inning before Bernstein scored on an Aidan Stevenson sacrifice fly and Schnitzer stole home after Timmy Domizio was caught in a run-down that eventually ended the inning. 
  • The 3-1 Trinity (Conn) lead was short lived as MIT rallied for a pair of runs in the top of the fifth. John Dwyer doubled to open the inning and later scored on a Louis Hernandez RBI single. Hernandez then came around to score on an RBI double from Joey Severson to tie the game.  
  • Severson's double chased Trinity starter Joe Capano from the game after 4.2 innings of work. Tyler Fahey came on and walked James Dempsey to put runners on first and second but got Malone to fly out to end the inning and end the threat. 
  • Trinity recaptured the lead, 4-3, in the bottom of the sixth on an RBI single from Domizio, but MIT had an answer again in the top of the seventh. 
  • Dalton Chi and Yamato Takahashi hit back-to-back singles to open the inning, putting runners on the corners for Hernandez. Takahashi was caught trying to steal, but Hernandez tied the game with a sacrifice fly to right that scored Chi. 
  • Cole Mascolo manufactured the winning run for Trinity (Conn.) in the bottom of the seventh. Mascolo opened the inning with a single off MIT reliever Ben Salomon before moving to second on a failed pick-off attempt. He shifted to third on fly out to center from Pete Beisel before scoring on a passed ball to end the contest. 

HOW IT HAPPENED - Game Two:

  • Trinity jumped out to a 10-0 lead in game two to secure the doubleheader sweep. The Bantams scored in each of the game's first five innings, leading 14-3 after five innings of play.  
  • The hosts scored three runs on three hits and two MIT errors in the first inning, including a two-run home run from Bernstein, before adding four more runs on four hits and another error in the second. Aidan Stern had an RBI triple in the second while Dylan Schnitzer and Williams Sawyer both delivered RBI base hits.  
  • The Bantams got three more runs on two more hits, including a two-RBI double from Stevenson that made the score 10-0.  
  • MIT got on the board in the fourth, as Malone singled to center to score Severson and Maximo Del Pino hit a triple to plate Malone to make the score 10-2. Trinity got both runs back in the bottom of the inning as Mascolo registered an RBI ground out and Theodore McLaughlin picked up an RBI single.
  • Eitan Moore drove in an MIT run in the fifth with an RBI single to center, but the Engineers could not slow down Trinity in the bottom half as two more runs from the hosts made the score 14-3 after five.  
  • The game moved to the top of the eighth before MIT pushed across three runs to make the score 14-6. Hanvin Lee doubled to drive in a pair of runs and Takahashi lifted a sacrifice fly to left to score Lee in the inning.  
  • Trinity responded once again, pushing the lead back to ten runs with a pair of runs in the bottom of the eighth that made the score 16-6.  
  • MIT scored a run on a wild pitch in the top of the seventh as the game ended with Trinity (Conn.) winning, 16-7. 

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:

  • Chase Rubin put in another solid effort on the mound in game one, pitching 5.0 innings, striking out three and giving up three runs, two earned. Rubin has a 3.00 ERA in nine innings pitched to start the season.  
  • Dalton Chi had three hits in game one and another in game two, giving the rookie nine hits through his first five games at MIT. Chi also walked twice in game two, reaching base six times on the day.
  • MIT had ten hits as a team in each game but left 11 runners on base in game two after leaving six on base in the opener.
  • Malone homered for the first time this year and now has seven home runs in his career. He added a pair of hits and scored a pair of runs in the game two loss.
