Baseball sends seniors out in style with 13-3 win over Curry

WALTHAM, Mass. – The Brandeis University baseball team ended its 2025 campaign on a positive note tonight, as the Judges defeated the visiting Curry College Colonels, 13-3, on Stein Diamond. The game was called after seven innings due to the 10-run rule.

TEAM RECORDS
  • Brandeis, 12-28.
  • Curry, 8-22.
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Judges wrapped up the season with an 18-hit attack, their third-most of the season, while reaching the 10-run plateau for the seventh time. Seven different players had hits, with five getting at least two.
  • Brandeis scored runs in every inning except the fourth.
  • After falling behind, 2-0, after Curry's first at-bat, the Judges responded with four runs in the bottom of the frame to take the lead for good.
  • Brandeis hit for the cycle within the first six hitters of the game. Sophomore CF Connor Crowley (Guilford, Conn./Notre Dame-West Haven) led off with a single, then scored on a triple by first-year 3B Ben Kuja (Madison, Conn./Daniel Hand).
  • Graduate student Eddie Zanor (Branford, Conn./Notre Dame-West Haven) followed with a two-run home run to right field. It was his fifth homer of the season, briefly giving him the team lead.
  • Two batters later, sophomore LF Henry Aronwald (Rye Brook, N.Y./Trinity Pawling) followed with a mammoth blast to left, joining Zanor with five homers on the season to make it a 4-2 game.
  • First-year catcher Keith Lee (Milford, Mass./Milford) came next with a double, completing the team cycle for the inning.
  • After the shaky top of the first, Brandeis pitchers settled down and did not allow the Colonels a run until the seventh inning.
  • In the meantime, Brandeis scored three more runs in the second and one in the third. After a scoreless fourth inning, they tacked on two runs in the fifth and one in the sixth before a bases-loaded double by first-year SS Charlie Dunbar (Honolulu, Hawaii/Punahou School) drove in two runs and ended the game, 13-3.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
  • One of Brandeis's statistical highlights came from one Judge who did not get a hit – grad student RF Jake Freed (Vernon Hills, Ill./Stevenson) had sacrifice flies in the second, third and fifth innings, tying an NCAA Division III record. He is tied with three others, with the last time it happened coming in 1995. The NCAA Division I and II record books do not list records for sac flies in a game.
  • Crowley finished the game with four hits, tying his career high, and four runs scored, setting a new personal best. He had a double, one of six for the team tonight.
  • Zanor went 3-3 with three runs scored, three RBI and a home run. He matched Freed for team-high in RBI.
  • Aronwald was 3-4 with two doubles and a home, driving in two runs and scoring two.
  • Kuja and Dunbar each went 2-5, with Kuja tripling, scoring twice and driving in one, and Dunbar doubling with two RBI.
  • Brandeis first-year Rohan Shah (Hicksville, N.Y./Hicksville) started and threw three innings in a staff outing to earn the win, improving to 2-1. He allowed four hits and two runs, with two walks and a strikeout. After giving up two runs in the first, he retired the side in the second and worked around a two-on, one out situation in the third.
  • Classmate Keni Franck (Harrison, N.Y./Harrison) tossed 2.1 scoreless innings with four strikeouts, two his and two walks before three Brandeis relievers finished things off.
  • Curry senior George Calderon led the visitors with three hits, an RBI, a run scored and a double, but no other Colonel batter had more than one hit.
  • Jack Keane suffered the loss, falling to 3-1, after allowing seven hits and seven runs in 1.2 innings. He walked three and did not have a strikeout.
