Dartmouth plays its final road game of the season against the Saints
DARTMOUTH (12-21)
at SIENA (11-24)
Tuesday, April 16, 2019 | 4 p.m.
Connors Park | Loudonville, N.Y.
Dartmouth will complete its road slate for the 2019 season by traveling to Loudonville, New York, to play the Siena Saints on Wednesday afternoon. The Big Green have gone 5-10 when playing at an opponents home field and 11-15 outside of Hanover this year, most recently taking two of three at Brown on April 13-14.
Last week, Dartmouth lost three of its four contests, all at home in a mid-week loss against Middlebury before dropping the first two games to Harvard. The bats came alive in the finale to end a six-game home skid, 15-7.
Siena, meanwhile, has a game against LIU Brooklyn today before hosting Dartmouth. The Saints took two of three from Quinnipiac over the weekend to improve to 4-5 at home and 6-9 in the MAAC.
The Overall Record vs. Siena
• This is just the 11th meeting between these two schools on the diamond with Dartmouth owning a 7-2-1 advantage.
• The Big Green have not lost a game to the Saints since 2008, winning four and tying the most recent matchup in 2017.
• The series began in the 2002 season when the teams split a doubleheader. Dartmouth won the opener, 15-2, before the Saints came back with a 4-1 triumph in the nightcap.
• Big Green head coach Bob Whalen who needs just three more wins to reach 600 in his career, has coached Dartmouth in all 10 games against Siena.
Scouting the Saints
• Siena is 11-24 on the season and 6-9 in the MAAC, which puts them eighth in the 11-team league.
• The Saints are hitting just .220/.338/.297 as a team and have struck out 342 times in 1,135 at-bats.
• Brendan Conley has been the team's best hitter far and away with a slash line of .340/.500/.660 with three homers, but he missed nearly the entire month of March and has just 71 plate appearances.
• Zach Durfee (.280/.398/.383) and Alex Milone (.250/.378/.375) bolster the lineup as well.
• Siena has a solid 4.64 staff ERA, striking out 256 batters in 293 innings, but has allowed 50 unearned runs on the year.
• Tommy Miller (4-2, 3.86) just set the school's record for career victories in the same game that head coach Tony Rossi (in his 50th season at the helm of the Saints) won his 900th game.
• The defense has committed 45 errors for a .964 fielding percentage to go with 16 passed balls, plus allowed 66 stolen bases while throwing out 12.
Last Time Against Siena
Only five position players combined remain from the starting lineups two years ago, but I'm sure they remember how they played a wild affair in Loudonville that ended in a 9-9 tie. The Saints jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the first after the first two batters were retired thanks to a pair of home runs, but Justin Fowler answered back with a two-run shot of his own in the second for the Big Green. Dartmouth trailed by four, 8-4, entering the eighth inning, but cut its deficit in half on an RBI single by Mike Brown that also scored another run on an error. In the bottom half, Siena got one back, but the Big Green continued to rally in the ninth, loading the bases with nobody out. A sacrifice fly by Ben Socher, followed by an RBI infield single by Dustin Shirley made it a one-run game, and Kyle Holbrook followed with a solid single to tie the game. That would be the last batter to reach base in the game as Siena left runners at second and third before going down in order in the bottom half. Both sides were retired quickly in the 10th, and darkness prevailed.
Probable Possible Starting Pitchers
Picture a shrug emoji right here and that about sums up the starters on the mound. I don't know. I just know a lot of pitchers will see the mound on both sides. UPDATE: RHP Alec Vaules (1-2, 5.88) for the Big Green. Still don't know about Siena.
Home Victory At Last
It took seven tries for Dartmouth to get its first home win of the 2019 season, a 15-7 triumph over Harvard on Monday afternoon. Dartmouth had not lost six straight home games since a nine-game skid in 1998, and only once had dropped as many as four consecutive since Biondi Park opened in 2009. The Big Green are 108-40 (.730) in 11 seasons at the new park, which is good news for the team since their last seven games are all at home.
Skinner Named Ivy League Rookie of the Week
Freshman Nathan Skinner was chosen as the Ivy League Rookie of the Week following his performance against Harvard on Monday. The right-hander held the Crimson to two runs, one earned, over six stanzas on just four hits while walking two and striking out a season-high six batters. It was his second selection for the honor this season and fourth by a Big Green pitcher this year. Dartmouth has had at least one player named the Rookie of the Week in 14 consecutive years, while no other Ancient Eight squad has a current streak longer than five years.
Bats Come Alive
Dartmouth was held to four runs in the doubleheader loss to Harvard on Easter Sunday, but the offense quickly topped that total in the first Monday home game in eight years by jumping out to a 7-0 lead after just two innings en route to a 15-7 victory. Nate Ostmo matched a career high with four hits while smacking a homer and driving in four runs, while Ben Rice added a single, double and triple while driving in a pair to lead the 15-hit Big Green attack. Steffen Torgersen contributed a long ball of his own and had a career-high five RBIs after having driven in just seven runs all season. It was the sixth time Dartmouth scored in double figures this season and fifth time in a league game.
O'Connor Moving Up Career Charts
Cole O'Connor has been a member of the starting rotation throughout his four-year career with the Big Green, and now the senior is on the verge of leaving his name in the Dartmouth record books. His 208.1 innings pitched rank 13th all-time in program history, and he is likely to finish his career among the top 10. Right now, he is also tied for third in career games started on the mound with former MLB pitcher Mike Remlinger '88 with 36. As long as he makes his last two scheduled starts over the next two weekends, he will tie the record of 38 set by Jim Croteau '82 and matched by Robert Young '10.
