Sacramento State Takes First in Five-Game Series
3/15/2012 4:50:00 PM | Baseball
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Dartmouth baseball squad opened up its nine-game swing in California with an 11-3 loss on Thursday afternoon at Sacramento State's John Smith Field. The host Hornets (7-9) rode a four-run first and a five-run seventh, capped by a Rhys Hoskins grand slam, to earn the victory. Dartmouth (0-4) got a two-run homer from sophomore Jeff Keller for most of its offense.
Hoskins fell a triple shy of the cycle, going 3-for-5 with an RBI double to go along with his game-sealing grand slam as he drove in five runs. Joining him with three hits was Andrew Ayers as Sacramento State racked up 18 safeties on the afternoon.
Sacramento State jumped on Big Green left-hander Kyle Hunter (0-1) in the first after a one-out error. Five consecutive hits followed, four of which drove in runs, as the Hornets took an early 4-0 lead. Keller got half of those runs back when he yanked a two-run bomb out to left, plating junior Ennis Coble who had walked to start the second.
In the third, freshman Thomas Roulis stroked a lead-off double, but was still there after a strikeout and a fly to right. Coble came through, however, by dropping a single into left-center to make it a 4-3 ball game.
Hunter held the Hornets scoreless for three innings before they tacked on solitary runs in the fifth and sixth innings. Brent Hottman's tapper near the mound allowed Trevor Paine, who had doubled and gone to third on an Ayers single, to score from third. Sacramento State got an RBI double from Will Soto in the sixth and could have had more if Keller had not gunned Soto down at the plate trying to score on Hoskins' single to left.
Three consecutive singles against senior reliever Marco Mariscal to start the seventh led to another Hornet run and senior Max Langford being summoned from the bullpen. After yielding a bunt single to load the bases, Langford retired the next two batters without a run coming home. But Hoskins laid into a 2-2 pitch and sent it soaring over the fence for the grand slam and the 11-3 lead.
Dartmouth had numerous chances in the final four innings, but stranded seven runners without scoring one.
Hunter Greenwood (2-3) earned the victory for Sacramento State, giving up three runs on six hits and four walks over six innings while striking out five. Three relievers allowed five hits and a walk but no one to cross the plate.
For the Big Green, Hunter was roughed up for six runs, five earned, on 12 hits and a walk in 5.2 innings on the mound. Roulis produced three of the team's 11 hits while Keller and Coble both had two knocks.
The loss ended Dartmouth's 20-game winning streak on weekday games (Monday through Thursday) that dated back to March of 2010.
The Big Green will attempt to avoid its first five-game skid since starting the 2009 season with eight losses — although they came back to win the Ivy League championships that year — when it returns to John Smith Field tomorrow against the Hornets at 5 p.m. (EDT).
