Dartmouth Raps Out 17 Hits in 15-2 Victory at Harvard
5/1/2022 3:32:00 PM | Baseball
Kretzschmar and Cox each had four hits to lead the offensive barrage
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Senior Kade Kretzschmar and sophomore Tyler Cox both collected four hits to lead Dartmouth to a series-clinching, 15-2 victory at Harvard on Sunday afternoon. Every starter in the lineup for the Big Green (21-16, 12-6 Ivy) scored at least one run in taking the series from the Crimson (17-20, 8-9 Ivy) for the first time since 2017.
The victory staved off elimination from qualifying for the Ivy League Championship Series on May 21-22. But Dartmouth will need to sweep three games from league-leading Columbia on May 14-15 as well as have Penn lose its last four conference games to do so.
Senior Justin Murray (4-3) was the beneficiary of the offensive outburst, pitching six innings of two-run ball, surrendering just four hits and a walk while striking out six to improve to 4-0 in the Ivy League. Sophomore Shane Bauer, freshman Danny Will and junior Jack Metzger each provided a scoreless stanza to close out the game.
Cox got the scoring started in the second after Harvard started Jaren Zinn (2-3) walked the bases loaded with one out, poking a two-run single to right. After another walk to sophomore Tyler Robinson, the Crimson brought in reliever Uday Narottam who was greeted by Murray with a fly ball to center to drive in the third run of the inning.
A Ben Rounds leadoff double in the bottom half, followed by a Chris Snopek single and a wild pitch, allowed Harvard to get one of those runs back. And the score remained 3-1 until the fifth when the Big Green broke the game wide open, all after two were out.
With runners on the corners, a passed ball allowed the first run of the frame to score. Cox then grounded a full-count pitch to the hole between short and third that the shortstop could only deflect, allowing senior Bryce Daniel to scamper home from second. Sophomore Tyler Robinson shot the gap in left-center for a stand-up RBI triple, then scored when Murray's liner to left was dropped for a two-base error. Crimson third baseman Will Jacobsen moved over to the mound and was served up a two-run homer to Kretzschmar, his sixth of the year, capping the six-run stanza.
In the sixth, sophomore Max Zajec singled home his classmate, Nathan Cmeyla, who had singled and taken second on a wild pitch. Harvard got the run back in the bottom half on a solo homer off the bat of Logan Bravo, his seventh of the season.
Dartmouth put the game completely out of reach in the seventh with four runs thanks to doubles by Murray and Cmeyla, an RBI single by junior Kolton Freeman, a sacrifice fly by junior Connor Bertsch and a pair of Crimson errors. The final run crossed the plate in the ninth when Kretzschmar tripled off the fence in left and scored when Freeman dropped a single into shallow right-center.
Cox, the Ivy League's leading hitter, was 4-for-5 with a team-high three RBIs while Kretzschmar scored three times and drove in two. Murray, Freeman and Cmeyla each had two hits of their own to bolster the offense.
Peter Messervy came off the Harvard bench to provide two of the team's six hits.
Dartmouth next hosts Manhattan for a three-game series next weekend with Saturday's doubleheader starting at 11:30 a.m. and Sunday's finale at noon. All three games will be streamed live on ESPN+ with Wayne Young '72 calling the action.
Notes: The Big Green have scored in double digits in 14 of their 21 victories this season … Dartmouth has won five of its six conference series … Murray, who entered the weekend second in the nation in doubles per game, hit two this weekend to boost his total to 19, two shy of the school record held by Jeff Keller '14 … Cox is currently fourth in the Big Green single-season annals with his .423 average and 66 hits, the latter of which is nine shy of the record held by Mike Conway '99.
