Baseball Falls to the Bowdoin Polar Bears on Friday Afternoon

AUBURNDALE, Fla. – After a split doubleheader with the UMPI Owls the day before, the Colby-Sawyer Chargers dropped a 10-3 ball game to the Polar Bears of Bowdoin College on Friday morning at the Lake Myrtle Sports Complex in Auburndale, Florida. 

RAPID RECAP: 
  • The first inning would see junior captain Tommy Sasso (Grafton, Mass.) touch the plate off a single to the left side from junior Cooper O'Brien (Vergennes, Vt.), who collected his first of two hits on the day, taking an early 1-0 lead over the Polar Bears. However, Bowdoin College answered back with a double off starting pitcher Matt Miller (Dracut, Mass.) to score a runner from second to knot the score at one. 
  • The bottom of the second would change the score to 2-1 after a single down the left field line would be followed by a bad throw to score another Bowdoin run. Junior captain Ian Turpel (Cohasset, Mass.) cleanly fielded a ground ball to get the Chargers out of the inning, leaving runners on second and third. The junior would then single to the shortstop, beating the throw to place a runner on base for Colby-Sawyer. After a sac hit from junior Jake Choiniere (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) advanced Turpel to second, O'Brien would collect his second RBI of the game scoring Turpel off a single to right field, evening the score at two heading into the first half of the third inning. 
  • The Polar Bears would then score two more within the next two innings and eventually flood the gates with five more runs in the bottom of the fifth to take a 9-2 lead. The bottom of the sixth saw quite a few position changes for the Chargers, giving junior Ben Mensch (Marblehead, Mass.) his first appearance in left field, first-year Jesse MacGlashing (Pittsfield, N.H.) his first time behind the plate, junior Ben Brennan (Marblehead, Mass.) first inning at second, and first-year Brady Holmes (West Yarmouth, Mass.) at center field. The team allowed Bowdoin one more run to put the score at 10-2 before earning another Charger run in the top of the eighth to finish 10-3, Polar Bears. 
Notes & Notables:
  • Leading the offense for the Chargers was O'Brien hitting 1.000% with two base hits and two RBIs. The team earned seven hits, with three runs to the opposing Polar Bears 13 hits, with ten runs. 
  • Miller received his second loss of the season, pitching for four innings, facing 21 batters, and allowing ten hits with four earned runs. The first year provided his defense six fly-outs with five total grounders during his second starting debut. 
  • First-year Matt Bennett (Kingston, Mass.) earned his second appearance of his college career, pitching the final inning for the Chargers with no hits and three strikeouts in five batters. 
Up next:
The final day of the Central Florida RussMatt Invitational for the Chargers will be tomorrow, March 19th, against the Panthers of Greenville University (7-8) at 9:15 am at the Northeast Regional Park in Davenport, Florida.
