Bats Sizzle, Murray Dazzles as Baseball Takes Series in 14-1 Win

Justin Murray struck out a career-high 10 batters and the Big Green bats pounded out 19 hits
HANOVER, N.H. — Dartmouth had every aspect of its game going for it today as the Big Green offense collected 19 hits and senior Justin Murray twirled seven shutout innings with a career-high 10 strikeouts to clinch the opening Ivy League series from Brown on Sunday, 14-1. Every starter in the lineup had at least one hit for Dartmouth (9-9, 2-1 Ivy), eight of the nine scored a run and eight of nine drove in at least one run as well.
The Bears (4-11, 1-2 Ivy) were limited to six singles and an unearned run in the ninth.
Murray (1-3) not only got it done on the mound, but he also reached base three times with a single and two walks, scoring three times. But he was in his best pitching form this season, throwing a mere 85 pitches over his seven stanzas while surrendering just four hits and a walk to go with those 10 punchouts, matching the most by a Big Green hurler this season. He faced one batter over the minimum through seven innings as his catcher, sophomore Nathan Cmeyla, gunned down two base stealers and induced an unconventional 5-4-3-6 double play in the fourth, the only inning in which Brown advanced a runner to second base against him.
The Brown pitchers weren't nearly as fortunate on this day as scored three runs in four separate innings, including the first when senior Kade Kretzschmar laced a three-run double into the right-field corner to being the onslaught.
Dartmouth ended Santhosh Gottam's afternoon in the third with five hits, the key being a two-run triple off the bat of junior James House, who trotted home on a Cmeyla single, one of his career-high three hits in the game.
The bullpen didn't have much luck against the Big Green lumber, either, with a pair of RBI singles in the fourth courtesy of junior Connor Bertsch and House. Sophomore Tyler Cox dropped a two-run triple just inside the right-field line in the sixth and scored on a laser single to left by junior Kolton Freeman, making it an 11-0 Big Green lead.
The Dartmouth scoring concluded in the seventh when sophomore Max Zajec smashed an RBI double to left, senior Bryce Daniel hit a sacrifice fly and Cox rolled a single back through the box to place Zajec.
The Bears finally dented the scoreboard in the ninth with that unearned run, spoiling the Big Green's bid for a second shutout this season.
Cox joined Cmeyla with three hits, scoring twice and driving in three, while Kretzschmar and House had three RBIs as well while producing a pair of hits. Dartmouth finished the game with 19 base hits, one shy of its season high.
Next up for the Big Green is a three-game Ivy League series at Penn (14-6, 2-1 Ivy), featuring the top two scoring teams in the conference, starting with a Saturday doubleheader at 11:30 a.m. All three games will be streamed live on ESPN+.
Notes: Kretzschmar not only extended his hitting streak to a career-long 10 games with his first-inning double, but he also drew a walk in the fifth, ending a streak of 96 consecutive at-bats — dating back to his freshman year in 2019 — without getting a free pass … Dartmouth has won the season series from Brown in 11 of the last 13 seasons, splitting the series in the other two … overall, the Big Green are 153-111-1 against the Bears dating back to 1871 … the other Dartmouth pitcher to strike out 10 in a game this season is senior Nathan Skinner in the series opener yesterday … no Big Green pitcher had accomplished the feat in nearly four years.
