Hartford, Conn. – Freshman 3B Stephen Rogers (Watertown, Mass.) went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and four runs scored to lead the Trinity College Bantams to a 14-4 win over the visiting Albertus Magnus College Falcons in baseball action this afternoon.  Trinity, ranked No. 4 in New England and No. 9 in the nation, improves to 11-3, while the Falcons falls to 7-13. 

Albertus opened the game with two runs in the top of the first inning on RBI singles by freshman starting pitcher Matt Caputo (East Haven, Conn.) and senior 3B Peter Rogan (Middletown, Conn.), but Bantam rookie RHP Ben Goldberg (Plainview, N.Y.) escaped any further trouble with a double play grounder.  The Bantams took the lead immediately in the bottom of the first inning with three runs, including the game-winning RBI on a two-out double by freshman OF Alex Almeida (Bridgeport, Conn.).  Trinity outscored the Falcons, 11-0, over the next seven innings before a pinch-hit, two-run blast by Albertus senior Cameron Giordano (Hamden, Conn.) in the top of the ninth frame accounted for the 14-4 final score.

Almeida finished 2-for-2 with a walk, two doubles, and three RBI, while five Trinity pitchers combined to yield nine hits and walk one with 12 strikeouts.  Sophomore Angus Anderson (Middletown, R.I.) was particularly effective on the hill for the Bantams with two perfect innings of relief work and four K's.  Junior SS Kyle Calechman (North Haven, Conn.) went 3-for-4 and Rogan was 2-for-4 for the Albertus Magnus offense.
