Dartmouth’s relentless offense, highlighted by Nick Santomauro, Michael Pagliarulo, and Damon Wright in the three-, four-, and five-holes, gave Crimson pitching trouble all afternoon. “We were just trying to go after them and not give them any free bases,” said freshman catcher Tyler Albright, who caught the second game of the twinbill. “But they hit the ball well, stayed back on the ball...

And all that red ink was booked before the expensive sprint through Pennsylvania.
