Big Green Suffer 15-7 Loss to Middlebury

Panthers rap out 18 hits to beat Dartmouth for the first time since 1950
HANOVER, N.H. — Justin Han was 4-for-6 with four RBIs to lead Middlebury (16-8) to 15-7 victory at Dartmouth (11-19) on a windy Tuesday afternoon at Red Rolfe Field at Biondi Park, the Panthers' first win over the Big Green since 1950.
Seniors Sean Sullivan and Steffen Torgersen both reached base three times for Dartmouth with the former matching a career high with three RBIs and the latter scoring three runs.
Middlebury rapped out 18 hits by 11 different players and stole eight bases on the afternoon (four by Alec Ritch), but did not pull away from the Big Green until a six-run sixth boosted the Panthers' lead to 14-7. Han capped the big inning by clearing the bases with a triple that just eluded a sliding Kade Kretzschmar in right field for three RBIs.
It didn't take long for Middlebury to take the lead as Gray Goolsby launched his first home run of the year, a three-run shot, for a quick 3-0 lead in the first frame. In the bottom half, a two-out high fly to left off the bat of sophomore Ubaldo Lopez was misplayed for a two-base error, allowing senior Nate Ostmo to score from first and get one of those runs back for the Big Green.
The following inning, Sullivan stroked a two-run single with the bases loaded to tie the game at three, but after loading the bases again with one down, the Big Green could not push another run across the plate.
The Panthers answered right back, scratching out two runs of their own on a hit batter, walk, a double steal, wild pitch and infield hit in the third. Torgersen tripled in the Dartmouth half, then scored on Logan Adams' grounder to short to make it a 5-4 Middlebury lead after three innings.
An Andrew Gough triple and Han single to left brought home the first of two Panther runs in the fourth, and Hayden Smith added an RBI double in the fifth to boost the Panthers' lead to 8-4. Again Dartmouth battled back as Sullivan lofted a sacrifice fly before senior Matt Feinstein poked a two-run single through the right side, closing the gap to one at 8-7.
But after Middlebury put up the six-spot in the sixth, the pitching staff held the Big Green bats scoreless for the final four frames.
Evan Stewart (1-0), the fifth of seven Panther pitchers, was credited with the win for hurling 1.2 shutout innings of relief.
Suffering the loss was junior right-hander Alec Vaules (1-2), who surrendered four runs on four hits in his 2.1-inning start.
Sam Graf contributed a pair of hits, three runs and two RBIs to the Middlebury cause, while Ritch, Gough and Phil Bernstein also had two knocks with Ritch scoring three more runs.
Although Dartmouth managed to collect just six hits, it also drew nine walks and was hit by four pitches, but stranded 13 runners. Adams was 2-for-4 with two runs and an RBI while Feinstein was also 2-for-4 with his two RBIs.
The Big Green (5-7 Ivy) will host Harvard (18-8, 8-4 Ivy) in a three-game conference series this weekend. Saturday's doubleheader is scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m. and Sunday's finale at noon. Wayne Young '72 will be on the call on ESPN+ for all three games with Brett Franklin joining him on Saturday and Bob Lipman on Sunday.
