The sophomore was bolstered by eight runs, all with two outs
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — Sophomore Justin Murray twirled seven shutout innings, allowing just three hits and two of walks while striking out six, as Dartmouth ended its time at the Snowbird Classic with an 8-1 victory over Omaha on Sunday. All eight runs for the Big Green (2-2) came with two outs with sophomore Kade Kretzschmar and freshman Kolton Freeman each driving in a pair. The Mavericks dropped to 4-3 on the season.
Murray was in control throughout his 79-pitch outing and had faced one over the minimum through four frames. Doubles in the fifth and sixth innings gave Omaha its only runners to advance past first base against the right-hander, and in both instances, he stranded the at third, first on a punchout, then on a comebacker to the mound. After retiring the side in order in the seventh, Murray was done for the day with an 8-0 lead.
The first Dartmouth runs came plateward in the third, even after a double play left the Green with nobody on base with two down. But freshman Connor Bertsch restarted the rally with a walk, sophomore Bryce Daniel singled him to second and senior Trevor Johnson was plunked to load the bases. A passed ball allowed the first run to scamper home, and Freeman followed by lining a double into the gap in right-center, just over the outstretched glove of the leaping second baseman, scoring two more for a 3-0 lead.
The score remained that way until the fifth when once again Dartmouth waited until two were out with nobody on base. Junior Ubaldo Lopez, senior Michael Calamari and senior Blake Crossing all singled to load them up again, and Kretzschmar dropped a two-run single into left-center before Bertsch delivered an RBI single of his own, making it a 6-0 game.
Johnson started another rally in the sixth when he was hit by a pitch again leading off the stanza. He stole second, took third on a one-out grounder to second and scored when Lopez ripped a pitch just inside the bag at third for an RBI double. Calamari tacked on the final run of the day with a single to left-center.
The lone Maverick run came in the eighth against the bullpen as freshman Luke Carpenter was greeted by a pop-fly double just inside the right-field line by Garrett Kennedy, uncorked a wild pitch and induced a grounder to short that sent Kennedy home. Carpenter ran into more trouble with runners at second and third with one down, but got a strikeout and a pop to first to end the threat.
When Omaha loaded the bases in the ninth with nobody out, Dartmouth head coach Bob Whalen summoned junior Max Hunter from the bullpen, and he escaped the jam and stranded all three runners with a strikeout, liner to Bertsch at third and routine grounder to short to end the game.
Crossing led the 14-hit Big Green attack with three knocks, and Bertsch had a perfect day at the plate, going 2-for-2 with two walks, a run and an RBI. Sophomore Ben Rice, Lopez and Calamari each had two hits as well.
Richie Holetz (0-2) took the loss for the Mavericks, surrendering three runs, two earned, in four innings of work. He walked two and struck out four.
Dartmouth will be back in action next weekend when it travels to ACC power Virginia (4-3) for a three-game series starting on Friday, Feb. 28 at 3 p.m. All three games will be streamed live on ACC Network Extra.
