Baseball splits in Maine against Colby

WATERVILLE, Maine – The Brandeis University baseball team earned a split of a road doubleheader today against Colby College. The Mules opened with a 2-1 walk-off victory in the opener, while the Judges bounced back for a 6-3 win in Game Two.

TEAM RECORDS
  • Brandeis, 7-2.
  • Colby, 5-2.
HOW IT HAPPENED, GAME 1 (Colby 2, Brandeis 1)
  • The Judges dropped a pitcher's duel in the opener, with both teams registering six hits, only one going for extra bases.
  • Both teams got out of the first inning thanks to a double play, then retired the side unscathed in the second.
  • Brandeis broke the ice in the third. First-year SS Noah Koong (Sammamish, Wash./Eastlake) hit a one-out single and stole second. Sophomore RF Bobby Quill (Raynham, Mass./Bridgewater-Raynham Regional) reached on a dropped third strike, putting runners on the corners, and sophomore LF Ben Kuja (Madison, Conn./Daniel Hand) delivered an RBI single.
  • The Judges tried a double-steal with one out, but Quill tried to advance home when the throw down to second got away, only for the Colby defense to catch him at the plate.
  • Brandeis starter Andrew Tringe (Montpelier, Vt./Montpelier) was in control, but surrendered an unearned run in the fifth. With two away, Patrick Shrake singled and stole second, and Corey Aubuchon's grounder to short was misplayed, allowing the tying run to score.
  • The teams left runners on base in the bottom of the sixth and top of the seventh before the Mules walked it off in the bottom of the seventh.
  • Henry Silva singled to lead off the frame and was bunted to second. Tringe got Aubuchon to pop to first for the second out, but Colby's Will Burns drilled a double to left for the walk-off victory.
  • Tringe was the tough-luck loser, tossing 6.2 innings of six-hit ball. He allowed two runs, one earned, striking out six and walking three.
  • Tringe falls to 1-1 on the season despite throwing his first career complete game.
  • Colby's Thomas Rioux went 6.1 innings, going 6.1 innings with six hits and one earned run. He struck out eight without a walk. Sam Lowenstein got the final two outs for the win to move to 1-1.
HOW IT HAPPENED, GAME TWO (Brandeis 6, Colby 3)
  • The Judges got off to a quick start in Game 2, as Quill led off the game with a double and scored two batters later on a grounder by sophomore 1B Danny Tambascia (Newton, Mass./Newton North).
  • In the second, first-year catcher Quinn Lanagan (Raynham, Mass. / Xaverian) singled home junior Matt Chafin (Canton, Mass. / Canton), who had singled and stole second.
  • The Mules tied the score at 2-2 on two hits, two hit batters, a walk and a sacrifice fly against sophomore starter John Milewski (Framingham, Mass./Belmont Hill), but first-year lefty Jackson Herzog (New York, N.Y./Dalton School) left the bases loaded by getting a strikeout on a 3-2 pitch.
  • Quill got things started again for the Judges in the third, singling and stealing second before coming home on another Tambascia grounder. Sophomore DH Keith Lee (Milford, Mass./Milford) then struck a two-out double, moved to third on a passed ball and scored on an error with what proved to be the winning run.
  • Colby's Aubuchon got a run back in the fourth with a sac fly, but Kuja doubled and scored on a Tambascia hit coupled with an error in the outfield in the fifth to push the lead back to 5-3.
  • Quill picked up an RBI single in the sixth, but Lanagan got thrown out at the plate going for another insurance run.
  • Sophomore Jack Sweeney (Waltham, Mass./Austin Prep) retired five of the last six Colby batters to earn a save, the first of his career.
  • Quill was the big hitter, going 3-4 with two runs scored, a double and an RBI. Tambascia led team with two RBI.
  • Herzog improved to 2-0 this season with 3.2 innings of strong relief, allowing just one hit and one earned run. He struck out two and walked one.
