Box Score
Designated Hitter Robin Allemand '10 and third
baseman Taylor Mondshein each homered to lead the Ephs to their
eleventh straight victory, 7-2 over Springfield College. Allemand, who leads the
team with eight triples, crushed his second home run of the season
just after Mondshein put the Ephs on the board as part of a five
run fifth inning that propelled the Ephs to the win. Sophomore Harry Marino was
dominant on the mound, earning the win by allowing only one earned
run on six hits while striking out three and walking two in six
innings of work.
In contrast to recent games, the Ephs
struggled to hit in the early innings, falling behind 2-0 after the
Pride put a pair of runs on the board in the fourth. Williams more than equaled their
hit total for the first four innings in the fifth, spoiling a solid
start by Jon Wurster.
Freshman first baseman KC Murphy continued his hit streak, leading
off the inning with a single through the left side. After a flyout, Mondshein
hit his first collegiate home run to tie the score. After a groundout, Al Mathews
'10, who is one hit away from increasing his season batting average
to .500, singled to left center. Mathews advanced to second on a
passed ball and scored when right fielder Pat Barren '11 singled to
right center. Barren
then advanced to second on a passed ball before coming home when
Allemand homered to left center.
The Ephs added a pair of insurance runs in the
top of the ninth inning. James Allison '11 led off the
inning with a single and advanced to third on a double by
Mathews. Allison then
scored on a sacrifice fly by Barren. Mathews then scored on a single
by Allemand.
Freshman Lucas Casso pitched well in relief,
allowing two hits and a walk in three scoreless innings.
Wurster picked up the loss for Springfield,
allowing five earned runs on ten hits and a walk while striking out
three in five and a third innings of work.
Mathews led the Ephs with three hits, while
Allemand, Mondshein, and Allison each had two.
Williams returns to action Saturday when they
travel to Connecticut to take on Wesleyan before returning home to
conclude the regular season against Westfield St.
