Trinity Baseball Handles Wesleyan In Regular Season Finale

HARTFORD, Conn. - The Trinity College baseball team stole 14 bases, including a combined seven swipes by senior OF Brandon Chow (Greenwich, Conn.) and first year IF Tyler Bernstein (Ponte Verda, Fla.), and nine Bantam pitchers allowed just six hits in a 7-3 victory versus the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) West Division rival Wesleyan University Cardinals this evening on Murren Family Field at DiBenedetto Stadium. The Bantams close out their regular season with a record of 21-12 overall, while the Cardinals drop to 15-17.  The Bantams look to advance this weekend on the road in the NESCAC Quarterfinals against Middlebury College on Saturday and Sunday.  

Junior pitcher Ian Brown (Tampa, Fla.) set the tone for the Bantams on the mound in the first inning, starting the game with three strikeouts. Despite only scoring one run in the first inning the Bantams got off to a hot start offensively, stealing an astounding six bases. Chow drew a leadoff walk and stole second, third, and then home on a double steal for the game's first run.  Trinity senior righty Cooper McGrath (South Hamilton, Mass) followed Brown and had another 1-2-3 inning.

Wesleyan knotted the score at one run apiece in the third frame on an RBI single by James Marsden, but Trinity sophomore Jake Leonard (Wyckoff, N.J.) got the last out in the third and pitched a scoreless fourth, ultimately earning his first career win. In the bottom of the fourth stanza, Bantam junior SS Jack Mathews (Westport, Conn.) singled and scored the game-winning run on an RBI groundout by Chow.  The Bantams went on to leave the Cardinals scoreless through the seventh inning, utilizing multiple pitchers in their dominant performance.

Trinity rookie Andrew Thomas Park (Flushing, N.Y.) tripled and scored one of two Trinity runs in the sixth and fellow rookie Andrew Sawyer (Easthampton, Mass.) drove home Park with a two-out single in the seventh,  Wesleyan got one run in the eighth inning on a balk, but Trinity answered in the bottom of the inning including one on an RBI single by junior Bennett Teceno (Centerville, Mass.). The Cardinals scored again in the ninth, but Trinity junior William Frain (South Hamilton, Mass.) threw a runner out on the bases from the outfield to end the game.
