ANNAPOLIS, Md. – After earning the win in game one of the four-game series against the Midshipmen, the Big Green returned to action against Navy, playing a doubleheader Saturday.

Dartmouth had a 7-0 lead in game one before Navy mounted and completed a comeback while momentum continued for the Midshipmen in game two, as they silenced the Dartmouth's offense to earn their second victory of the day.

After Saturday's games, the Big Green fall to 3-6 on the season.

Game One – Navy 8, Dartmouth 7
Despite a lead heading into the final inning, the Midshipmen mounted a comeback in the seventh, going on to defeat the Big Green, 8-7.

Each team had a baserunner in the first inning, and Navy followed with two in the bottom of the second, but the game remained scoreless.

Dartmouth opened the scoring in the third inning, taking a 3-0 lead over Navy. With one out, Alejandro Puig doubled down the right field line. Nico Bañez was hit by the pitch only two pitches later, setting up a Taer Rodriguez double, giving Dartmouth a 2-0 lead.

Rodriguez tried to come home on an Axel Riess ground ball, but the Midshipmen got the out at home as Riess reached first safely. He later stole second base before A.J. DeMastrie won his eight-pitch at bat, singling to send Riess home and make it a 3-0 game.

In the fourth, Milo Suarez led off the inning with a double before Chris Miller singled through the left side. Suarez reached third safely and tried to come home, but Navy recorded its second out at the plate in as many innings to keep it a 3-0 game.

The Midshipmen did not get out of the inning unscathed, as Bañez singled to score Miller, making it 4-0 in favor of the Big Green.

Dartmouth added three more runs in the fifth. Riess led off with a walk before DeMastrie hit the Big Green's first home run of the season, a ball just fair down the right field line. Suarez then drew a walk, stealing both second and third, eventually coming home on a sacrifice fly.

Nate Isler got the start for the Big Green and was dominant through six plus innings. Through six complete innings, the sophomore allowed just two hits and fanned eight.

Isler started the seventh on the mound for the Big Green, striking out the first batter he faced before back-to-back Midshipmen hits scored a run. At 102 pitches, Interim Head Coach Blake McFadden made the move to the bullpen, bringing in Aidan Plummer.

Plummer recorded one out and dealt two walks, gave up one hit, and hit a batter, as the Midshipmen made it a 7-3 game.

Before the Mids scored their third run, the Big Green almost earned the victory, but a pop foul went off Rodriguez's glove, allowing the inning to continue.

Nate Kugler came in in relief of Plummer, dealing two straight walks before back-to-back singles tied and secured the eight-run comeback for the Midshipmen, as Navy earned the 8-7 victory over the Big Green.

Game 2: Navy 11, Dartmouth 3
Navy picked up where it left off in game one, opening the scoring in the first inning of game two. The Midshipmen scored in four innings, tallying multiple runs in three to earn an 11-3 victory over Dartmouth.

The Big Green opened game two of Saturday's doubleheader putting two runners on with one out, but Navy got out of the inning, setting it up to take the lead in the bottom half of the inning.

The Midshipmen led off the inning with a single before Dartmouth was able to record two outs. Navy then drew a walk, setting up a two-run single to give the Midshipmen a 2-0 lead.

Navy added to its lead in the second inning, scoring four runs on four hits, all of which were for extra bases, to take a 6-0 lead over Dartmouth.

The Big Green got on the board in the third inning. Alejandro Puig drew a walk with one out before advancing to second base on a wild pitch. Milo Suarez then doubled to send Puig home, making It a 6-1 game.

Navy once again made it a six-run game in the fourth, scoring one run in a triple and a double.

The fifth inning was the first of the game to see no runs scored, as both sides went in order at the plate. In the sixth however, the Midshipmen exploded for six more runs, scoring on four hits, a walk, and an error, making it an 11-1 game.

The Big Green plated two runs in the next half inning, the top of the seventh. Chris Miller led off the inning with a single before Sam Andersen drew a walk. Nico Bañez then reached on a fielding error, scoring Miller from second base. Puig found himself on base again, this time being hit by the pitch. Milo Suarez recorded the second out of the inning but was able to drive in a run on a sacrifice fly, cutting into Navy's lead.

Sam Andersen led off the ninth inning, reaching base after he was hit by a pitch. He stole second, but the Big Green weren't able to generate any more offense, as Navy earned the 11-3 victory.

Marco Dumsky got the start for the Big Green, giving up seven runs, six earned, on nine hits in four innings of work. Dumsky fanned five and dealt three walks.

Andrew Lombana pitched the remainder of the game for the Big Green, allowing four runs on five hits in four innings. He walked one and struck out three.
