Trinity Baseball Splits At Colby

Waterville, Maine - Senior Alex Shafer (Baltimore, Md.) tossed a four-hit shutout with four strikeouts and a walk to lead the visiting Trinity College Bantams to a 2-0 victory over the Colby College Mules in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) East Division baseball action this afternoon.  Trinity, which dropped the second game of the doubleheader (7/7), 3-2, is now 8-4 overall and 3-1 in the NESCAC East, while the Mules, losers of three of the four games in the weekend, home-and-home series, move to 8-10 overall and 2-6 in the division.  Trinity visits NESCAC East rival Tufts on Saturday, May 1 at 1 p.m. to open a four-game series with a doubleheader and Colby does the same at division foe Bates.

Shafer faced just three batters over the minimum and allowed just a single runner past first base to earn his first win of the year.  Trinity scored its first run in the second inning when first-year John Flannigan (Sysosset, N.Y.) led off with a single an scored on an RBI double by senior Vince Capone (Lower Gwynedd, Pa.).  Colby cut off two runners at the plater later in the inning to keep the visitors at one run.  In the fourth frame, Bantam senior Rob Cronin (Wellesley Hills, Mass.) hot a leadoff single and his pinch-runner, Brandon Chow (Greenwich, Conn.), later scored on an error.  Cronin and rookie SS Jack Mathews (Westport, Conn.) each had two hits for Trinity, while Patrick McConnell has two hits for Colby.  Mule pitchers E Cohen and F. Driscoll yielded eight hits and one earned run with 8 K's in a losing effort.

Cabot Maher went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and saved the game in relief to help Colby salvage one win in the series in game two.  Each team scored in the first inning on a two-out RBI single by Trinity first-year 1B Sean Meth (Sands Point, N.Y.) and a Maher solo homer.  Marcus Forrester gave Colby a 2-1 lead in the second inning with an RBI double, and scored their third run in the fourth on a single by Maher.  Flannigan doubled and scored on a run-scoring single by sophomore Patrick Dillon (Bronx, N.Y.) for Trinity in the fifth frame.  Flannigan, Mathews, and Dillon all singled in the seventh inning, but Maher struck out the side.  Nicholas Thompson allowed six hits and two runs with three strikeouts to collect the win on the hill for Colby,  Trinity rookie RHP Ian Brown (Tampa, Fla.) took the loss.
