On Saturday’s double-header, the Bantams split games with the Mules. During the first matchup, Colby starting pitcher Emery Dinsmore went 5.2 innings, striking out five batters while allowing just one run en route to his second victory of the season. Johnny Stamatis ’18 was the lone Bantam in game one to tally a pair of hits while Mooney drove home the lone Trinity run.

Shafer tossed a gem in game two for the Bantams. The Maryland native went 7.2 innings, allowing just a pair of hits while striking out seven, a career-high. Neither team crossed the plate until the fifth inning when Trinity threw up a nine-spot to open the game up. Carter Snyder ‘18 and Rodriguez both connected on RBI-doubles to highlight the inning. Snyder and Tyler Forgione ‘18 both ripped run-scoring singles in the eighth to cap off the game and lift the Bantams to the victory in game two.
