Five players post multiple-hit efforts in game two win

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Brown baseball team split a pair of Ivy League games against Dartmouth on Saturday, winning the second game, 13-6, as the two teams opened a three-game set at Attanasio Family Field at Murray Stadium.

Brown (9-19, 6-5) racked up 15 hits in the second game, while Dartmouth captured the opener, 6-4, and now stands at 10-18, 4-7.

"The difference between games was scoring in bunches," said head coach Grant Achilles. "Each team executed well on offense, and I'm proud of how we responded in game two. Collin gave us a good start, and our offense was clicking on all cylinders. We're in good shape heading into tomorrow, and our focus is the task at hand."

The Bears hit .338 as a team in the doubleheader, led by Joe Lomuscio (West Roxbury, Mass.), who went 6-for-8 (.750) with four runs, four RBIs and a pair of home runs. Willy Homza (Anchorage, Alaska) posted four hits on the day with a pair of walks to extend his reached-base streak to 18 games. Calvin Farris (San Diego, Calif.) had one homer in each game and drove in three runs.

Game 1: Dartmouth 6, Brown 4
Garett Delano (Callahan, Fla.) allowed three earned runs over six innings in the first game, while Charlie Beilenson (Los Angeles, Calif.) was saddled with the loss. Zach Fogell (Cumberland, R.I.) provided 2.1 hitless innings to close the game. Cole O'Connor went seven frames with two earned runs to pick up the win for the Big Green.

Lomuscio posted a pair of hits in the first game and Delano drove in two runs. Parke Phillips (Venice, Fla.) crossed the plate twice and drew two walks.

Brown scored one run in the second and fourth innings before the Big Green moved out in front with three runs on four hits in the fifth. Homza scored on a sacrifice fly in the sixth to even the score, but the visitors answered with three in the seventh, as Matt Feinstein and Ubaldo Lopez both hit home runs in the inning.

Farris cut the lead to two with a solo shot in the eighth, but Max Hunter secured the final six outs for the save.

Game 2: Brown 13, Dartmouth 6
Collin Garner (St. Augustine, Fla.) paved the way to victory in the second game as he went six innings with two earned runs and four strikeouts, earning his second win of the season. Nathan Skinner took the loss behind four runs over 4.2 innings.

Lomuscio led five players with multiple-hit efforts as he went 4-for-4 with four runs, four RBIs, two homers and a double. Homza had a trio of hits, while Farris, Phillips and Cameron Deere (Los Angeles, Calif.) all had two hits.

Brown broke a tie game in the bottom of the fifth when Farris lifted a two-run homer over the left field fence for his second of the day.

Dartmouth answered with one run in the sixth, but the Bears kept it going with two more in the bottom half, as Homza hit a two-run single up the middle. The Bears added another run in the seventh and then exploded for six runs in the eighth, capped by Lomuscio's two run shot for his second homer of the game.

Dartmouth scored three times in the third before Joshua Wilder (San Marcos, Texas) induced the final out to seal the split.

The two teams will play the rubber game of the series Sunday at noon.
