Back at Home
After playing 16 of its first 17 games on the road, Dartmouth returns to Red Rolfe Field at Biondi Park with the nation's longest home winning streak (25 games) on the line. The next longest at 19 games belongs to Kentucky, which is ranked first in the Collegiate Baseball poll this week for the first time in the program's history.
Last Weekend in Review
• The Big Green opened up Ivy League play at Princeton and Cornell, splitting a doubleheader with the Tigers before losing twice to the Big Red.
• Freshman Adam Frank was rewarded for his strong performance on the mound at Princeton with the Ivy League Rookie of the Week award. The southpaw allowed just one earned run and one hit over 6.1 innings in the 8-2 win.
• In other rookie news, freshmen Matt Robinson and Thomas Roulis both hit their first collegiate home run in the victory.
• Cornell had not defeated the Big Green twice in Ithaca since the 1998 season.
• In the first game against the Big Red, Dartmouth failed to record a hit in the seven-inning contest, giving Cornell its first no-hitter in 23 years.
• Three of the four starters on the mound turned in quality starts. After Frank's win, sophomore Mitch Horacek yielded just two runs in a seven-inning, complete-game 2-0 loss, then junior Michael Johnson surrendered two runs over six stanzas. He exited with the score tied, but Dartmouth failed to score again in the 5-2 loss.
Last Time Against the Hawks
These two teams met at Biondi Park last year with Dartmouth taking a 5-1 victory. The score was tied at one, however, through six innings before the Big Green broke the deadlock with a solitary run in the seventh on a David Turnbull single to score Jeff Keller, who had doubled to lead off the inning. In the eighth, Dartmouth tallied three insurance runs on the strength of RBI triples by Jason Brooks and Keller, the latter's second three-bagger of the game. Dan Ternowchek was credited with the win with three no-hit innings of relief after Michael Johnson gave up just one run over the first five frames.
Overall Record vs. Saint Anselm
• This is the 16th meeting between the two schools on the diamond with Dartmouth holding a 13-2 advantage.
• The Hawks have made the trip to Hanover each of the past three seasons as well with the Big Green winning each encounter.
• Dartmouth has a strange streak against St. Anselm. In each of the past three meetings, a Big Green player has hit two triples — Joe Sclafani in 2009, Jason Brooks in 2010 and Jeff Keller last year.
• Dartmouth head coach Bob Whalen is 11-2 against the Hawks in his career.
• The two teams first met on the diamond in 1918 with St. Anselm squeaking out a 4-3 victory.
Scouting the Hawks
• St. Anselm has won three of its last four games, winning a three-game series against Northeast-10 rival Bentley on Sunday and Monday.
• Although the Hawks have played 26 games thus far, just one of those contests has been at home, and that ended in a 1-1 tie last Wednesday against Franklin Pierce.
• At the plate, St. Anselm is batting just .235 as a team. But Robert Kelly swings a formidable stick, leading the squad with a .337 average, five home runs, 22 RBIs and a .457 on-base average.
• Three of the top four starters own an ERA under three, led by John Healy at 0.77 in 47 innings. Healy tossed seven shutout stanzas yesterday in a 14-0 victory over St. Michael's.
• As a staff, St. Anselm hurlers have posted a 3.81 ERA on the season.
• The Hawks have had some woes in the field with 45 errors in their 26 games for a .954 fielding percentage.
Probable Starting Pitchers
• Neither coach has named a starter for this game, so I'm going to throw a dart at each roster. I'm guessing sophomore RHP Louis Concato (0-1, 6.39) will get the nod and pitch no more than three innings. For St. Anselm, let's go with a right-hander, either Timothy Cooney (0-0, 7.98) or Joe Latino (1-1, 6.23) with others to follow.
What's Up Next
Dartmouth welcomes the first Ivy opponents to visit Hanover this weekend with Penn coming to town for a twinbill on Saturday and Columbia playing two on Sunday. The Quakers are the last team to beat the Big Green at Red Rolfe Field at Biondi Park, back on April 11, 2010.
Home Cooking
Since its home field was renovated before the 2009 season, Dartmouth has enjoyed exceptional success at Red Rolfe Field at Biondi Park with a 43-5 record for an .896 winning percentage. The Big Green have won 25 consecutive games at the venue, the longest streak among Division I teams.
Climbing the Career Ladder
Not in the job market, mind you, but in the career statistical lists at Dartmouth. Senior Joe Sclafani ranks among the Big Green's all-time top 10 in four categories, including tied for the lead with 16 triples. He currently sits in sixth with 191 hits and needs just nine more to become the fifth Dartmouth player to collect 200 in a career. In addition, he is third in both runs (140) and walks (82).
Unlucky Seven
Over the last seven games, the Dartmouth bats have been mostly silenced with a team average of just .209. Junior Ennis Coble and senior Joe Sclafani have carried the offense during this stretch as Coble has hit .400 and Sclafani .391.
0-For-Ithaca
Until dropping both games at Cornell on April 1-2, the Big Green had won at least one game in Ithaca in each of their six previous trips. To make matters worse, the Big Red registered their first no-hitter in 23 years in the opening game.
Being Frank With the League
Freshman LHP Adam Frank got his first taste of Ivy competition on March 31 at Princeton, getting the starting nod against the Tigers in the second game of a doubleheader. After watching Princeton shut out the Green, 8-0, Frank quieted the Tiger bats, holding them hitless for six complete innings. He did allow one hit in the seventh before getting the rest of the day off, helping Dartmouth earn its first league win of the season, 8-2. Coupled with his win over Amherst on March 28, Frank was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week and the DartmouthSports.com Male Athlete of the Week.
