Baseball Reaches Championship Weekend with 12-2 Victory over Wesleyan

HARTFORD, Conn. – The second-seeded Trinity College Baseball team thumped visiting third-seeded Wesleyan University, 12-2, in series-clinching game of their New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Championship Quarterfinal series at Murren Family Field at DiBenedetto Stadium Saturday afternoon. The Cardinals won the opening game, 7-1, to force a deciding game three. The Bantams improve to 26-13, while the Cardinals wrap with a 13-23 record.
 
What Happened:
  • Following a scoreless first inning in the opener, the Cardinals grabbed an early 1-0 lead in the second as Kato Mangum stole third, and then scored on an errant throw. Mangum tacked on an RBI double, followed by an RBI two-bagger from Sam Hensinger in the fourth to give Wesleyan a 3-0 advantage.
  • After being held hitless for five-plus innings by Wesleyan starter Shamus Kelly, Pete Beisel put the Bantams on the scoreboard with a solo blast over the left field fence, trimming the gap to 3-1 after six innings.
  • The Cardinals pulled away with four unanswered runs. William Moore and James Marsden delivered two-out RBI knocks in the seventh, followed by a solo home run from Jake Acker in the eighth and an RBI single from Jonah Timmons to send Wesleyan to the 7-1 win.
  • Kelly was dominant on the hill for Wesleyan, logging his third complete game, allowing one run on two hits with a career-high 11 strikeouts.
  • In the finale, Cole Mascolo staked Trinity to a 1-0 lead in the second inning with an RBI triple into the left-center gap.
  • The Bantam bats erupted for five runs in the third, beginning with an RBI double from Aidan Stern. Stern scored on a single from Dylan Schnitzer, and then three batters later, Timothy Domizio launched a three-run homer to deep left field, pushing Trinity to a 6-0 lead.
  • Leading 6-1 in the fifth, Trinity padded their lead behind an RBI single from Domizio, a two-run single from Cole Mascolo and an RBI sac fly from Schnitzer to extend the advantage, 10-1.
  • Trinity added a pair of insurance runs in the sixth with a solo home run from Luis Saldivia, followed by an RBI double from Mascolo to send the Bantams to Championship Weekend with the 12-2 victory.
