Dartmouth Dismantles Akron on the Diamond, 19-2
3/17/2011 5:11:00 PM | Baseball
BABSON PARK, Fla. — Last year, Dartmouth allowed more runs to the Akron Zips than any other opponent all season in a 25-10 loss early in the year down in Florida. The Big Green turned the tables today by hammering Akron, 19-2, with every Dartmouth starter collecting a hit by the end of the third inning. No less than six players had three hits for Dartmouth (2-2), which won its second straight game and the first of 10 during its spring trip to Florida. The Zips fell to 3-12 on the season.
The last time Dartmouth scored 19 runs came on March 21, 2008, in a wild 19-18 victory over Army. The margin of victory (17) is the largest for the Big Green since blanking Plymouth State, 18-0, on May 5, 2005, and the biggest against a Division I opponent since a 25-1 triumph over Harvard on May 5, 2002. The 26 hits the Big Green collected were the most against a Division I opponent ever and equaled the mark set during the 2000 season against Plymouth State.
Junior Joe Sclafani led the onslaught by going 3-for-6 with three runs and a pair of RBIs. Joining the shortstop with three hits were seniors Sam Bean Jason Brooks and Jeff Onstott, junior David Turnbull and sophomore Ennis Coble. Brooks blasted the first Big Green home run of the year, a three-run shot, and had a total of five RBIs on the day as well.
Some wildness at the outset of the game cost Zips pitcher Alex Loftin (1-4) as he walked three of the first four hitters and mixed in an errant pickoff toss and a wild pitch. Yet it took a single up the middle by Onstott to plate Sclafani and sophomore Chris O'Dowd for a 2-0 lead.
The Big Green sent Loftin to the showers in the third after two-out RBI singles by Coble and junior Jake Carlson that scored O'Dowd and Brooks, respectively. Turnbull greeted reliever Scott Foster with an infield hit, scoring Coble from third. After another RBI knock, this time by freshman Jeff Keller, Sclafani and Bean hit back-to-back doubles to give Dartmouth a 9-0 bulge.
The bats weren't done as the Green tacked on two more in the fourth thanks to a couple of Akron errors, then three more in the fifth and another in the sixth against reliever Benjamin Danziger. Brooks singled home Sclafani, who started the inning with a single of his own. Onstott followed with an RBI single, bringing O'Dowd home, and Coble smacked a double for another run. In the sixth, Brooks ripped a single through the hole between short and third to drive in Bean from second, giving Dartmouth a 15-0 lead.
Meanwhile, sophomore Kyle Hunter (1-1) was putting goose eggs on the board over the first five innings. He allowed two base runners in each of the first three frames, but was able to wiggle his way out of each with no damage. Akron put a man on with two out in the fourth and fifth, but could not spark the two-out lightning as the Big Green had.
The Zips finally pushed a run across the plate in the sixth, but it was unearned. James Sheltrown reached on an error with one out, then stole second. He was immediately removed for pinch runner Scott Saylor, who came around one out later on a Jason Corzine single.
Brooks belted his four-bagger with two on in the eighth, and Turnbull added his third RBI single of the day. Akron scored a single run in the bottom of the ninth with two outs to conclude the scoring.
Hunter allowed six hits and just the one unearned run in his six frames on the mound for his first victory of the year, fanning two. Freshmen Louis Concato and Mike Dodakian each tossed a scoreless inning as well.
Dartmouth returns to the field tomorrow morning at 11:30 a.m. in Lakeland, Fla., against Army.
