Zanor has big day in 7-6 loss at Trinity

HARTFORD, Conn. – Brandeis University grad student 1B Eddie Zanor (Branford, Conn./Notre Dame-West Haven) and the top of the Judges' lineup provided the offense, but it was a late rally that gave host Trinity a come-from-behind 7-6 win in non-conference baseball action today.

TEAM RECORDS
  • Brandeis, 2-4.
  • Trinity (Conn.), 1-2.
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Zanor had an impressive game out of the three-spot, going 3-5 with a double and a home run while driving in five of the Judges' six runs.
  • Sophomore CF Connor Crowley (Guilford, Conn./Notre Dame-West Haven) was 2-4 with three runs scored and a stolen base out of the leadoff spot, while first-year 3B Ben Kuja (Madison, Conn./Daniel Hand) was 2-3 with two runs scored on a sacrifice bunt as the trio combined to go 7-12 with six runs scored and five RBI.
  • It was a back-and-forth game, as Trinity jumped out to a 2-0 lead on Brandeis sophomore Andrew Tringe (Montpelier, Vt./Montpelier) with a pair of RBI singles in the first. Tringe struck out the last two batters of the frame with the bases loaded to escape further trouble.
  • The Bantams added a run in the second without a hit, getting three straight walks and a sacrifice fly to go ahead, 3-0.
  • Brandeis got on the board in the third on passed ball that allowed Crowley to score and Zanor's first hit, an RBI single that made it 3-2.
  • Trinity added their fourth run in the fourth inning on a double down the line and a triple to center field.
  • With two out and Crowley on second in the top of the fifth inning, Zanor tied things up with one swing of the bat, homering to right-center. It was his first homer of the season, his sixth in a Brandeis uniform and seventh overall in his career.
  • The Judges took their first lead in the top of the seventh. Crowley reached on a dropped catch by the Trinity first baseman, and Kuja reached on another error while trying to bunt him to second. Zanor made the Bantams pay with a double to left-center field for his fourth and fifth RBI of the game. The Judges were unable to advance him past second.
  • In the bottom of the seventh, first-year reliever Rohan Shah (Hicksville, N.Y./Hicksville) gave up a lead-off double down the line, and a bobble in right allowed the batter to get to third. That error proved costly, as Shah struck out two of the next three batters, but allowed a sacrifice fly for the second out of the inning, cutting the deficit to 6-5.
  • In the eighth inning, Trinity tied things up on a Tyler Bernstein solo home run with one out.
  • Brandeis first-year Brady Lane (Hingham, Mass./Boston College High School) got out of the eighth inning, and the Judges had a chance to score in the top of the ninth when Crowley led off with a single and made a heads-up bases running play, advancing all the way to third on Kuja's bunt.
  • Trinity's Thomas Fahey fanned Zanor, but walked sophomore Henry Aronwald (Rye Brook, N.Y./Trinity Pawling). Aronwald stole second, but Fahey got a fly to left to avoid any damage.
  • The Bantams walked the game of in the bottom of the ninth on a double by Cole Mascolo and a single by Ryder Aubin.
  • Lane took the loss, allowing his first run of the season, after getting two saves in his previous two outings.
UP NEXT
  • The Judges play their third-straight opponent from the NESCAC on Wednesday when they meet Tufts at 3 p.m. in Medford, Mass.
