The Lions won the opener, 23-9, before Dartmouth matched that run total in a 23-1 win in the nightcap.
NEW YORK, N.Y. — What do you do when you lose the first game of a doubleheader after allowing 23 runs? Simple. You return the favor.
The Dartmouth Big Green roared right back at the Columbia Lions after dropping the first game on Saturday, 23-9, by taking the nightcap in a 23-1 triumph at Robertson Field at Satow Stadium. Senior Nate Ostmo hit a grand slam and drove in six runs while his classmate Matt Feinstein homered and had five RBIs to lead the onslaught in the second game and salvage the split for Dartmouth (9-12, 3-2 Ivy).
Julian Bury hit a grand slam — his first career homer — and drove in six, and Chandler Bengtson belted a pair of four-baggers for Columbia (7-12, 3-2 Ivy) in the opener as the Lions banged out 24 hits, tying a program record.
The Big Green had never had two games in one season in which they scored 23 or more runs until pulling off the feat twice in the span of one week. Dartmouth tallied 23 runs against Princeton in the Ivy League opener last Saturday, matching the second-most runs the team had ever scored in a league game, dating back to 1930. And since 1900, the Green have had at least 23 runs a total of 11 times in any game.
Every Dartmouth starter in the lineup had at least two hits and an RBI in the nightcap as the team finished the game with a season-high 22 knocks (its most in eight years), including nine doubles and three home runs. Junior Trevor Johnson was the only player with three hits, however, stroking a pair of doubles and scoring three times. Feinstein and senior Sean Sullivan also scored three runs, and sophomore walk-on Jordan Bustabad came off the bench to belt a three-run homer for his first career hit to finish the scoring.
Columbia got an RBI double in the bottom of the first from Liam McGill, but it was all Big Green from there as they scored six runs in the second and five more in the fourth. Freshman Ben Rice started the scoring with an RBI single to tie the game, then Johnson and senior Sean Sullivan did the same before Feinstein deposited a 2-2 pitch over the fence in left for a three-run homer and a 6-1 lead.
In the fourth, Johnson hit a leadoff double off the center-field fence and scored on senior Steffen Torgersen's sharp single to center. After sacrifice flies by Ostmo and junior Michael Calamari, sophomore Ubaldo Lopez and junior Blake Crossing produced back-to-back RBI doubles to boost the Big Green lead to 10 runs, 11-1.
Dartmouth tacked on a run in the fifth and three more in the seventh on back-to-back doubles by Feinstein and Ostmo, who went on to cap a five-run eighth with his grand slam over the scoreboard in left-center. It was Bustabad's turn in the ninth was he crushed a 1-0 offering beyond the left-field fence with two men on base.
Meanwhile, freshman Justin Murray (1-1) settled in after surrendering that first-inning run, tossing six innings and allowing six hits and striking out three without walking a batter for his first career collegiate victory. Junior Alec Vaules came on and twirled three perfect frames, fanning four, to earn his first career save.
Much like the second game, Columbia took an early 1-0 lead, this time on a solo home run by Bengtson in the second. And Dartmouth came right back and overcame the deficit, tallying two in the third when Torgersen hit a leadoff triple off the fence in left, junior Bennett McCaskill doubled him home, then scored himself after a passed ball and a grounder to second off the bat of Sullivan.
In the fourth, the Lions reclaimed the lead on five straight two-out hits as Bo Porter tied the game with a double before A.J. DiFillipo and Bury added RBI singles for a 4-2 lead.
Columbia boosted its lead to 11-2 when it put seven runs on the board in the fifth. The big hits came from Jack Chernow (who had a game-high four hits) and Matt Cerfolio, each of whom had two-run singles. The Big Green got a run back in the sixth when Ostmo doubled and came around to score, but the Lions countered with six in the bottom half highlighted by a Bury grand slam.
Dartmouth wasn't ready to concede, however, fighting back with a five-run seventh. Ostmo, Lopez and Crossing each had RBI singles, Calamari drove home another run with a double and Johnson added a sacrifice fly. But Columbia put to bed any hopes of a miracle rally with another six-run stanza in its half, capped by Bengtson's second long ball of the game, a three-run shot to left-center.
Josh Simpson (3-1) earned the victory with a quality start of six innings, yielding three runs on seven hits and a pair of walks with one strikeout. Suffering the loss was senior Cole O'Connor (2-3) after giving up 12 runs on 15 hits in five-plus frames.
The two teams will play the rubber game of the series on Sunday at noon, streamed live on ESPN+ with Ryan Young calling the action.
Notes: Dartmouth is hitting .367 in five Ivy League games this season and averaging 13.4 runs per game after hitting just .215 and averaging 3.0 runs in its first 15 games prior to conference play … Lopez and Sullivan both extended their hitting streaks to nine games … the 23 runs the Big Green allowed in the first game tie the second-most they have ever given up in a league game. Navy scored 27 runs against Dartmouth in an EIBL contest in 1988.
