Trinity Baseball Returns Home With Tough Loss To Amherst

HARTFORD, Conn. - The Trinity College Bantams returned home to Murren Family Field at DiBenedetto Stadium for the first time in 17 days and led, 3-1, after eight innings, but the visiting Amherst College Mammoths scored four times in the ninth to escape with a 5-3 victory in baseball action this evening.  Trinity falls to 17-8 with its first in six games.  Amherst wins its fifth game in a row and improves to 15-8-1.  Junior SS Jack Mathews (Westport, Conn.) was 2-for-4 at the plate for the Bantams.  Trinity will host New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) East Division foe Tufts on Friday at 3 p.m. to open a three-game series.  

Trinity scored the game's first run on two hit batsmen, a double play, and a passed ball in the second inning, and added two more runs in the fourth on singles by Mathews and junior 1B Sean Meth (Sands Point, N.Y.), an RBI groundout by first-year Dylan Schnitzer (Huntington, N.Y.) and a double steal situation where Meth scored from third while Schnitzer forced a run down between first and second.  Amherst scored one run in the fifth on an RBI double by Jack Boyle.  Trinity's first three pitchers were stellar, as junior Tyler Griffin (Milford, Conn.), sophomore Tyler Colditz (Lakewood Ranch, Fla.), and first-year Walter Schwarz (Westfield, N.J.) held the Mammoths to one run and eight hits over the first eight frames.

Three Amherst pitchers were also solid, especially first-year Christian Pedro who pitched the last three innings and gave up just two hits and no runs to earn the win.  Trinity put runners on base in the sixth and eighth innings put could not push a run across, while the Mammoths took the lead on a three-run double by Jackson Reydel and led, 5-3, in the middle of the ninth.  The Bantams had two outs in the ninth, but Schnitzer drew a walk and senior OF Colin Mann (Dedham, Mass.) legged out an infield hit to put the game-winning run at the plate.  Pedro retired the last out for his third strikeout of the inning,  Sophomore LHP Jonathan Link (Holmes, N.Y.) took the loss for the Bantams, dropping to 1-3.
