Judges fall in pitcher's duel with Keene State, 3-1

WALTHAM, Mass. – The Brandeis University baseball team dropped a pitchers' duel today to visiting Keene State College at Waltham's Yetten Field, as the Owls defeated the Judges, 3-1, two days after Brandeis scored 42 runs in two games.

TEAM RECORDS
  • Brandeis, 4-6.
  • Keene State, 3-4.
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The teams combined for 19 hits – 10 for Keene State and nine for Brandeis – but just the four runs.
  • Brandeis opened the scoring with two out in the fourth inning. After the Owls erased a lead-off single with an around-the-horn double play, Judge grad student RF Jake Freed (Vernon Hills, Ill. / Stevenson) walked. He moved to second on a single to right by first-year catcher Keith Lee (Milford, Mass./Milford) and scored on a single up the middle by sophomore 2B Dylan Walsh (Arlington, Mass. / Arlington).
  • The Judges loaded the bases on a walk to first-year DH Danny Tambascia (Newton, Mass. / Newton North), but a new Keene State pitcher came on to induce an inning-ending grounder to leave the bases loaded.
  • Brandeis sophomore righty Andrew Tringe (Montpelier, Vt./Montpelier) cruised through the first five innings, allowing just two base-runners, before Keene State got to him in the sixth.
  • In the sixth, the Owls got a lead-off single, and the runner stole second after Tringe got a strikeout. A fly to left allowed the runner to move to third with two away, but the Owls struck with an RBI single and a double down the left-field line. Judge sophomore Cooper Gavin (Beverly, Mass. / Beverly) got a fly to right to end the inning.
  • The Judges squandered a one-out double by Tambascia in the bottom of the frame, and KSC took the lead in their next at-bat.
  • With one away, the Owls got back-to-back singles to put two runners on. Gavin just beat the runner covering first on a weak grounder to second for the second of the inning, but the Owls got a seeing-eye single up the middle to break the deadlock.
  • Brandeis had runners in the seventh and eighth, but couldn't get them past second base. Grad student Ryan Antrim (Lake Bluff, Ill. / Lake Forest) got out of a second-and-third, one-out jam in the top of the ninth with a pop to center and a strikeout, but the Judges went in order in the bottom of the inning to end the game.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • Grad student 1B Eddie Zanor (Branford, Conn./Notre Dame-West Haven) led the Judges with three hits, while first-year 3B Ben Kuja (Madison, Conn. / Daniel Hand) had two.
  • Freed and Tambascia also reached base three times with a hit and two walks apiece. Tambascia's double was Brandeis's only extra-base hit.
  • Keene State's infield of 3B Alec Varano, SS Anthony DiGiacomo and 2B Luke Anderson each had two hits for the Owls. CF Tommy Ahlers had the game-winning two-run single.
  • Tringe got the no-decision after going 5.2 innings, allowing four hits and one earned run. He struck out seven and walked just one. Gavin took the loss, falling to 1-1 this season. He gave up three hits and two earned runs in 1.1 innings.
  • Keene State used eight pitchers, with Troy Brennan throwing 2.1 innings, the longest outing of the day for the Owls. He allowed the Judges just one hit with three strikeouts in the sixth through eighth innings. Liam Conley retired the side in the ninth for his first save.
UP NEXT
  • The Judges will take on Colby College on Saturday at 12 p.m. in a doubleheader, hopefully on campus on Stein Diamond.
