Longest Game in Ivy League History Ends in 21-15 Defeat
4/6/2019 6:09:00 PM | Baseball
The Big Green twice overcame three-run deficits in their last at-bat, but Penn scored eight in the 21st inning.
HANOVER, N.H. — Dartmouth and Penn were scheduled to play two games as part of the Big Green's home opener. They certainly played enough innings for two, but it merely counted for one as the Quakers (15-8, 4-3 Ivy) outlasted Dartmouth (9-15, 3-4 Ivy) in 21 innings, 21-15, at Red Rolfe Field at Biondi Park on Saturday. Not only was it the longest game in Ivy League history, but it also tied for the eighth longest ever in an NCAA Division I contest.
The two teams set several NCAA records, including most plate appearances for one team (Dartmouth with 105) and combined (208), as well as at-bats for one team (Penn, 92) and both sides (176). Dartmouth also left 27 runners on base, tying the Division I mark. The Quakers rapped out 30 hits and the Big Green 25, which was a school record for Penn and one shy for Dartmouth.
Penn's Craig Larsen led all players with five hits and five RBIs while hitting a grand slam and for the cycle — which he achieved with a bunt single in the 13th. Each side had four other players with four hits. Larsen and Peter Matt both set an NCAA record with 12 at-bats, and four others in the game tied the old mark of 11 that previously had only been achieved by one player.
The game was tied at 13 after 13 innings, thanks to three-run rallies by the Big Green in both the ninth and 13th frames, but neither team could scratch the scoreboard again until the 21st. That's when Matt stroked a leadoff triple and Sean Phelan brought him home one out later by shooting a hard grounder through the drawn-in infield.
That merely opened the floodgates as eight of the next nine hitters reached base, including Josh Hood who hit a three-run homer to give Penn at four-run advantage at 17-13. Tommy Courtney added a two-run double, and two RBI singles gave the Quakers an eight-run cushion.
Dartmouth, which had drawn two walks in each of the previous three innings but could not get anyone across the plate, once again started to rally with one down. Senior Sean Sullivan lined his fourth hit of the game, a double to left, senior Matt Feinstein stroked an RBI single and senior Nate Ostmo also singled for his fourth hit. A fielder's choice closed the gap to six runs, but after sophomore Ubaldo Lopez finally got into the hit column (though he reached base seven times with four walks and two hit by pitches), freshman Justin Murray hit a deep fly to center that Tommy Courtney snared on the run to finally bring the game to an end after six hours and 22 minutes.
The two teams came into the game averaging more than 10 runs in Ivy play, so it was not surprise that the score was tied at five after three innings. Dartmouth grabbed a 6-5 lead in the fifth on a triple by senior Steffen Torgersen — one of his four hits on the day — plating freshman Ben Rice who had singled.
The score remained that way until the top of the eighth when Penn, which had scored each of its first five runs with two outs, went to work with two gone once again. Matt and Chris Adams each singled, which brought home Matt McGeagh who had walked with one out. After a hit batter loaded the bases, Larsen brought everyone home with a grand slam for a 10-6 lead.
In the bottom half, the Big Green got an unearned run, then completed the comeback in the ninth. Rice blasted a long home run — the first of his career — over the scoreboard in right-center to start the stanza, but Dartmouth was still down two when Feinstein came to the plate with two on and two out. The co-captain did not disappoint by hitting a long shot to deep left-center, tying the game at 10. Pinch hitter Oliver Campbell nearly ended the game two batters later, but his hard smash was right at the second baseman Adams to end the inning.
Dartmouth loaded the bases with nobody out in the 10th, but could not get the winning run home. When the Quakers broke through with three runs in the 13th, capped by a Matt O'Neill two-run triple, the Big Green would not relent. They loaded the bases to start the inning again, but this time Ostmo roped a two-run single and freshman Kade Kretzschmar hit a long fly to the track in right for a game-tying sacrifice fly.
From there, Dartmouth right-hander Jonah Jenkins and Penn righty Josh Sidney took over on the mound and put goose eggs on the board for five and six innings, respectively. And although freshman Nathan Skinner — the Big Green's scheduled starter for the third game of the series — came on to keep Penn off the board in the 19th following a leadoff double, Penn finally got to him in the 21st, dropping him to 1-4 on the season.
Joe Miller (3-1) picked up the win with 2.2 innings of relief, surrendering two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three.
Joining Sullivan, Torgersen and Ostmo with four hits was junior Trevor Johnson, who brought home Dartmouth's second run with a line drive over the fence in left-center for his second homer of the year. Sullivan scored a career-high four runs, and Feinstein finished the game 3-for-9 with three runs and three RBIs.
The scheduled second game was moved to Sunday for a doubleheader starting at 11:30 a.m., which Penn had to do last weekend as well after beating Brown in 16 innings in the first game of their series. The final two games will be streamed live on ESPN+ with Wayne Young '72 and Brett Franklin calling the action.
Notes: Dartmouth set numerous team single-game records, including most innings played and at-bats (84, old record 62) … Sullivan and Torgersen also set a new Big Green single-game record for at-bats (11, old record eight).
