Waltham, Mass. - The No. 6-ranked Trinity College Bantam
baseball team won both ends of a home doubleheader over the
Brandeis University Judges, 10/13-4/3, this afternoon. The
Judges had a 4-2 advantage going into the sixth inning of the first
game before giving the game up and the Bantams scored eight runs in
the top of the fifth to go on to win, 13-3, in the nightcap.
The Judges drop to 15-21 while Trinity moves to 24-4. Bantam
senior co-captain C Sean Killeen (Greenfield,
Mass.) and junior 1B Kent Graham (Longmeadow,
Mass.) went 7-for-15 combined with six runs scored and
eight RBI.
Brandeis senior P James Collins (s. Boston,
Mass.) gave up only three earned runs in five innings with
a win lined up before Trinity gave him the no-decision. He
struck out four and gave up seven hits. Brandeis picked up a
4-2 lead in the bottom of the second inning after Trinity had
scored one run in each of the first two innings. The
highlight of the inning was a two-RBI double by Brandeis C
Artie Posch (Hopedale, Mass.) to put the Judges
ahead 3-2. Posch was then driven in by a sacrifice fly to
centerfield by rookie CF Sean O'Hare (Southampton,
Mass.).
Trinity would be held scoreless until the top of the sixth
inning as the Bantams scored three runs to go up 5-4. They
added to their 5-4 lead in the top of the seventh as they put up a
five spot to go onto win, 10-4. The Bantams starting
sophomore P Andrew Janiga (Ellington, Conn.) threw
a complete game with seven strike outs and scattering five Brandeis
hits.
In the second game Brandeis fell down early, as Trinity scored
three runs in the first two innings. Brandeis got on the
board in the bottom of the third to score two runs on a O'Hare
two-run home run to centerfield. The Bantams answered again
in the top of the fifth inning. They would score eight runs
on seven hits as 12 batters stepped to the plate in the
inning.
