Baseball Squeaks Past Hamilton In Senior Day Thriller 3-2

Tied at 2-2 on Saturday, the Middlebury baseball team manufactured a run in the seventh inning for a 3-2 triumph over Hamilton in the rubber match of the NESCAC West series. Before the contest, the program honored seniors Owen Fox, Zander Gilmartin, Kunal Handa, Charlie Kutz, Justin Lessing, Kyle McCausland, Issac Rosario, Nathan Samii, Jacob Sherf and Ben Slaughter for their contributions.
 
HIGHLIGHTS
  • The Panthers jumped ahead with a pair of runs in the bottom of the first. Samii started the rally when he was hit by a pitch and later scored on a sacrifice fly from Joe Basso. Gus Parker followed with a seeing-eye RBI single through the right side to drive home McCausland for a 2-0 lead.
  • Hamilton cut the deficit to one (2-1) in the top of the third when Alfonso Rada lifted a home run that just cleared the left-center field fence.
  • The Continentals knotted the game in the fifth. Greg Kopp roped an RBI double that one-hopped the wall in right to plate Rada, who had a two-base hit to left.
  • Middlebury had runners on first and second with two outs in the sixth as Anthony Pellagrini doubled and Will Ashley was hit by a pitch. Hamilton reliever Eddie Taylor got out of the frame with a groundout.
  • In the seventh with two away, Gianni DiCerbo and Kopp walked to put a pair of runners on.Panther Brayden Mathews made a diving play on a soft liner up the middle to end the rally.
  • Middlebury pushed the go-ahead run across in the bottom half when Samii came home to score on an RBI groundout by Slaughter.
  • Hamilton loaded the bases an inning later when Ethan Righter singled and walks were issued to Michael Tallarida and Quinn Perkins. The hosts wiggled out of the jam as pitcher Stefano Yozzo got an inning-ending double play to maintain the 3-2 edge.
  • Yozzo recorded the final three outs in the ninth, including a pair of strikeouts, for the final 3-2 tally. 
NOTES
  • McCausland collected his 40th career double.
  • Pellagrini had his fourth multi-hit game of the season, going 2-for-4 with a double.
  • Yozzo earned his first career win on the mound, striking out three in 2.1 innings of work.
  • The programs played for the 81st time with Middlebury tallying its 61st win in a series that began in 1900. The Continentals took Friday's opener 3-2, before the Panthers rallied to even the series in the nightcap, 8-7.
Middlebury returns to competition on Friday when it opens a three-game NESCAC West series at Williams with the first pitch scheduled for 4:00 p.m.
