One More Road Test Before Home Opener This Weekend

Dartmouth travels to Worcester to take on Holy Cross on Wednesday
DARTMOUTH (9-13)
at HOLY CROSS (7-22)
Wednesday, April 3, 2019 | 5 p.m. | Facebook Live
Hanover Insurance Park at Fitton Field | Hamden, Conn.
Dartmouth will play its 23rd consecutive game away from Hanover to start the 2019 campaign when it travels to Fitton Field in Worcester, Massachusetts to take on the Holy Cross Crusaders. The Big Green are 3-8 in true road games thus far with wins at UTSA, Quinnipiac and Columbia. With the conclusion of this contest, Dartmouth will play 15 of its final 19 games at Red Rolfe Field at Biondi Park.
The Overall Record vs. Holy Cross
• The Crusaders have the second-best record against Dartmouth of any active collegiate team that has played the Big Green at least 20 times at 92-55-1 (.625). Tweet the team with the best such record to @BigGreenBasebal and you will get free admission to the series against Penn this weekend!
• Friday will mark the 125th anniversary of the first meeting between these two teams on the diamond, which Holy Cross won, 9-8.
• Rain washed out last year's scheduled contest, but two years ago, the Crusaders scored four in the first inning and defeated Dartmouth, 5-2, as five pitchers held the Green to five hits, one of which was a ninth-inning, two-run homer off the bat of Kyle Holbrook.
• Prior to that loss, Dartmouth had won seven straight games since the previous Holy Cross victory in 2006.
• Holy Cross first played at Fitton Field in 1905, and the Big Green are 18-36 at the field since the 1923 season.
• Big Green head coach Bob Whalen, who needs just six more wins to reach 600 in his career, is 15-7 against the Crusaders.
Scouting the Crusaders
• Holy Cross got off to a miserable 1-17 start, mostly in the Deep South, but has won six of its last 11 contests, including two of three from Lehigh this past weekend.
• As a team, the Crusaders are hitting just .214 and averaging about 3.6 runs a game.
• Ben Malgeri (.310/.419/.448) has been their best hitter this season, leading the team in all three slash stats.
• Peter Dudunakis is the top power threat with three of the seven Holy Cross home runs, while Malgeri has two of the other four.
• The staff ERA sits at 6.35, but over the last 11 games, that figure has been much improved at 3.78.
• Defense has been an issue with 45 errors in 29 games for a .954 fielding percentage, and the catchers have thrown out just over 20 percent of base stealers.
Probable Possible Starting Pitchers
• Flip a coin over the pitchers that are not in the weekend rotation for either team and that guess will be as good as mine.
Columbia Series in Review
People talk about games being like roller coaster rides, but those don't compare to what Dartmouth went through with the Lions this past weekend:
• The two sides combined for 68 runs and all three contests were decided by at least 10 runs.
• The Big Green allowed 35 runs, the most in a three-game stretch since the beginning of the 2010 season.
• The 23 runs allowed in the opener matched the second most in a league game (beginning in 1930) surrendered by Dartmouth, and tied for third most in any game since 1900.
• The 23 runs the Big Green scored in the second game tied the second most they had ever scored in a league game (which it had done the previous week against Princeton as well), and tied for the eighth most in any game since 1900.
• The 32 combined runs in the opener tied for the third most scored in a Dartmouth league game ever.
• The 22-run margin from game two was the second largest ever for the Big Green in a league game and tied for the third largest in any game since 1900.
• Columbia was one out away from its first shutout of Dartmouth in 30 years when Matt Feinstein walked with the bases loaded in the finale.
• Freshman Justin Murray earned his first career victory with six innings of one-run ball in the second game, while junior Alec Vaules was credited with his first save for throwing three perfect innings to close out the win.
• Sophomore Jordan Bustabad collected his first career hit in the 23-1 victory — a three-run home run to cap the scoring. He also pitched a third of an inning in the opener to make his debut on the mound.
• Senior Nate Ostmo hit a grand slam in the blowout victory as well, the second for the Big Green this season (Ubaldo Lopez against Bradley on March 19).
• And with senior Matt Feinstein's three-run homer in the second, Dartmouth hit three home runs in a game for the first time since a 5-4 loss on April 5, 2014 against ... Columbia.
• I'm sure there's more, but you get the idea.
Ivy League Standings Tight After Two Weeks
Dartmouth is 3-3 in conference play thus far, just one game back in the standings. But all eight teams are separated by no more than two games with Columbia, Harvard and Yale all 4-2, the Big Green and Penn at 3-3, and Brown, Cornell and Princeton all 2-4. Good news for Dartmouth is that four of its last five conference series are at home, where the team is 107-34 (.759) over the last 10 years.
Most Games Available on ESPN+ the Rest of the Season
